From the first few seconds, it’s clear that Charlie Lane has one of the catchiest voices around. Her performance in this song is on another level, blending emotional depth with captivating melodies. The lyrics are beautifully written and mesh perfectly with the vocal melodies, creating a delicate yet powerful track.
The production quality of this song is smart and polished. It features amazing guitar work and heavy synths that build slowly, leading into an incredibly catchy chorus that sticks with you long after the song ends. The recording quality is interesting and enhances the overall listening experience.
Charlie Lane, a talented indie pop artist uses this song as a means of self-expression. This new single serves as a subtle yet powerful declaration of her identity as a Queer woman. Lane explains that the song is about the inner turmoil and overthinking that comes with liking someone and fearing rejection. This raw and honest portrayal of her emotions adds a layer of relatability and depth to the song.
