The song is relatable for anyone attempting to navigate the world of dating today: from formulating the perfect emoji combination to waiting for a crush to finally answer your text, it’s filled with both the stresses and laugh-out-loud worthy moments of love.
Watch the lyric video below, and wait (patiently) for the official music video to be released later this spring.
The duo will be headed out on the road for much of the next few months around the release of their new record. They’ll be performing at SXSW and will be touring in the US and Europe throughout the spring and summer.
