Tove Lo is on her world domination as she celebrates the release of her fifth studio album “Dirt Femme”. Ahead of touching down in Australia next month for Splendour In The Grass, SPIN OFF Festival and headline shows in Sydney and Melbourne, the Swedish megastar has kept the new music rolling with another new single. “I like u” is directly inspired by the world of “Dirt Femme” and the chaotic party vibes that the tour has brought.
Deeply rooted in the epic dance-pop sound behind tracks like “2 Die 4”, “Call On Me”, and “Pineapple Slice”, she delivers a nostalgic leaning pop anthem. Taken from your Y2K fantasies, “I like u” has a familiarity to it that takes you directly to every incredible party you’ve ever been to. The “La-la-like you, I la-la-la-like you” hook will circle your brain while you immediately find yourself back on those dance floors covered in sweat, glitter and smelling of alcohol. It’s an infectiously catchy track that will only take you one listen to fall in love with it.
Written about infatuation, this song captures the lust and desire of wanting to get to know someone, even if the stars aren’t aligned. It’s a little bit naughty, a little bit romantic, and a whole lot of sexy. “I wish I was your girlfriend, is she with you tonight? You say, “Sorry, I’m taken”, walk away with a smile. I know I’m not mistaken, you’re the love of my life” she sings during the opening verse.
“I like u” has already been added to her setlist overseas, so you better get learning those lyrics before she touches down on July 19 because things are about to get very sweaty.
