Both humorous and hard hitting, the lyricism exhibits charismatic honesty which carries throughout the refreshing release. Young explains that the song was ‘a song to help [her] process an abusive and at times toxic relationship [she] experienced, even though at times [she] felt trapped, it’s about loving a person regardless of the
fact they are hurting you.’
The writing skillfully reflects love amidst toxicity, with the sweetness in her voice
sprinkled at the end of the verses, only to be taken over by the contagious rage of the chorus. The chorus is highly intoxicating, with its production build-up matching the powerful ascent of Young’s voice. Her talent is evident in every release, firmly
establishing as an artist with a powerful voice and distinctive personal style.
Lola is no stranger to dynamic and unique singles, with her previous single ‘Conceited’ being a perfect example of when unusual rhythmic instrumentation harmonises with purposefully accentuated vocals to create an infectious sound. In
2023 Lola Young went viral for her widely-praised hit, ‘Don’t Hate Me’ which was definitely an anthem of the year for many. If that isn’t enough to entice you, then the stunning ‘Pretty In Pink’ is sure to convince you why Lola deserves a spot in your regular rotation. The candid ballad echoes sincerity through its sweet harmonies, and the climax in the last minute is one you can truly sink into.
Lola is unquestionably one to watch in 2024, and she just so happens to be touring
soon across Europe and the US. If you haven’t sought out tickets yet, I would highly
encourage you to do so, as the opportunity to witness her powerful performances
live is one you won’t want to miss.
