This is the second song Petite Meller has released since announcing she will likely release an album in 2016 besides a cover of the Velvet Underground’s “Sunday Morning” she recorded with Børns for an H&M commercial. The title refers to the Freudian concept of innate barbarism.

[Verse 1]
If you got it babe just show it
While you're young and free
I feel it coming over
Way up high then me
I've noticed something's wrong
When you're not here with me
I'm feeling like a comet
Crashing down in to the sea
[Pre-Chorus]
Who, who (x2)
Who's laughing now (x2)
Who, who (x2)
Who's laughing now (x2)
[Chorus]
We are barbaric, don't you get it
Don't give up on me
We are barbaric, in a manic
I'm just hungry for your skin
(x2)
[Post-Chorus]
Who, who (x2)
[Verse 2]
Before you shut the door
I hope you think of me
How you hold me with your borders
Civilising me
We walk down different roads
Nobody ever meet
You're running like a savage
Hunting down the one you freed
[Pre-Chorus]
Who, who (x2)
Who's laughing now (x2)
Who, who (x2)
Who's laughing now (x2)
[Chorus]
We are barbaric, don't you get it
Don't give up on me
We are barbaric, in a manic
I'm just hungry for your skin
(x4)

‘Barbaric’ is a song written for my grandparents who raised me. It was written in a small studio in London with Luca Venezia, who looks very Barbaric with his vampire teeth and was later produced with the 70’s disco funk sounds of Jocke Ahuland (Baby Love). It’s about the animalistic side of nature...
