“Churches” is Flipturn’s lead single from their sophomore EP Citrona. The band explained what this song was about:
The main idea about “Churches” is being able to find your “church” in something that you’re passionate about. Our “church” is playing music and traveling around.

Well, I wanted to feel wanted
Like I had a contagious soul
And I wanted to feel wanted
Like I had a contagious soul
