27 Hours is an electronic ballad, with strong influences from BANKS' previous work, Goddess.
It is a digital exclusive track off of The Altar where another distraught relationship is put on display.
Again, Banks show us the vulnerability of her relationships. In an interview with Clash, she explai...
[Verse 1]
Always told you not to love me
Now look what you made me do
I got poison in my pocket
Told you I was bad news

I killed everything we were
Baby, murder was the case
Baby, murder was the case
Baby, murder was the case
[Interlude]
[Verse 2]
So you like the fear of falling
But you stand there looking dumb
Why'd you come here in the first place?
Baby, I am not the one
How can you not walk away
After everything I've done?
It's been 27 hours
Since we even saw the sun
Since we even saw the sun
Since we even saw the sun
[Interlude]
[Outro]
Tears you cry rely on my disdain
While we waited, days that never came
Time just flies, but I still carry on
It's been 27 hours
Since we even saw the sun
Since we even saw the sun
Since we even saw the sun
Since we even saw the sun
Since we even saw
27 Hours was written by Belly & Faris Al-Majed & Richard Muñoz & Ben Billions & DannyBoyStyles & SOHN & BANKS.
27 Hours was produced by Ben Billions & SOHN & Tim Anderson & DannyBoyStyles.
The fact that they didn’t see the sun for 27 hours could show that Banks and her partner were locked inside with each other for that time, or metaphorically locked inside their toxic and depressive relationship, as described in “Gemini Feed” and other songs of The Altar.
