Gatlin appears to have contradictions to take care of.

She’s with somebody and he or she likes them, you recognize, in that particular method… till they reciprocate. Then she’s not so positive.

Ah love! It’s an advanced sport isn’t it?

Fortunately, Gatlin has a supremely catchy tune with which to work by way of her emotions.

As she explains at the beginning of the tune in sultry tones, backed by gently pulsing synth pads:

You by no means used to drive me house

You by no means informed your folks

Was only a pretend identify in your telephone, your telephone, your telephone

Now there’s one thing within the air

Now you’re planning

And also you run your palms by way of my hair, my hair, my hair

And it’s unhealthy

Ouch! Technique to disappoint somebody!

She continues:

I fell for the model of you that I couldn’t have

It’s unhealthy

However I feel I such as you higher when

After which she goes on to clarify why, however as a result of she’s backed by synth pop as catchy and provocatively insistent as this, you virtually overlook your self and simply go together with no matter she sings. 

You’re in a membership, intoxicated by the lights which might be sometimes silhouetting the our bodies leaping round and also you’re getting completely misplaced within the tune that wouldn’t be misplaced on a Stranger Issues playlist or in The 1975’s again catalogue. And also you’re listening to what she’s saying however for the size of this tune, who cares? It’s so catchy, so danceable, that you just’ll take care of the heartache tomorrow morning.

So she appreciated you higher when:

Once you’re leaving me stranded

Once you’re doing injury

It’s a dancefloor filler with a looping lyric – deal with me good and we’re finished, however you possibly can’t appear to assist your self as a result of you’ve got emotions for me:

Now one thing is completely different

You’re saying you’re all in

However I feel I such as you higher once you’re breaking my coronary heart

It’s lyrically actually efficient as she swings between feeling one thing and deciding that’s what she doesn’t need all through the tune. In a while within the tune she sings:

And I’m seeing stars

And I by no means thought it’d get this far

Don’t get all comfortable after I stroll within the room

And make me really feel like the one one for you 

‘Trigger I’ll get used to it and I’ll get used to you

And in the event you left once more, I’d break up in two

In that final line, impulsively she’s admitted one thing new, maybe she’s scared of how a lot she likes this particular person and the breaking-my-heart-schtick is a security mechanism, an escape route to avoid wasting an excessive amount of injury being finished ought to all of it go south.

A very telling and efficient lyric within the tune, for me a minimum of, is:

Is it actually love if it don’t tear you aside

Once more she’s questioning whether or not she ought to really feel love or play video games and maybe giving a cheeky nod to Pleasure Division on the identical time. That line although appears to have extra weight, appears to ask extra significantly what the reply is.

And all of this game-playing, role-reversal, and potential heartache will get your toes tapping helplessly. There are nice, assured backing harmonies within the properly melodic refrain, separated from the primary voice by successfully used reverb and it’s insistent, catchy synthy pop and all wrapped up in simply over three minutes.

However there’s no solutions by that time. Her potential love is left sweaty and confused on that shadowy dancefloor, questioning the place everybody stands.

Maybe this tune is the reply: Don’t assume, simply hold dancing.
