Lights – Clingy
Ahead of this Friday’s release of her sixth album, A6, Lights has shared album standout “CLINGY,” which follows on the heels of singles “ALIVE AGAIN,” the synth rager “DAMAGE,” and her dual release of the sugary-sweet pop anthem “WHITE PAPER PALM TREES” and its brooding dark-wave companion “SURFACE TENSION.”
The track is inspired by the uncomfortable feeling of suddenly finding yourself getting clingy with someone. “You could be the most confident person when that feeling creeps up out of nowhere,” says Lights. “It’s a tongue in cheek anthem for the clingy people out there who aren’t usually clingy.”
She expands on the feelings conveyed in the song, “As a feeling it is a lot to unpack—about insecurity and communication and challenging ideas of ownership in a relationship—but in a fun bassy banger. I think there is a layer of sexiness to this song, in allowing yourself to admit feelings that are typically associated with weakness. Since the song is about the duality of feeling confident but also feeling clingy sometimes, I wanted the production to follow suit. Half the song is a guitar forward, spacious banger, the other half feels like a heavy and intimate dance break.”
