In an interview with Noisey in 2015, LIZ said:
“I did another song with SOPHIE called "High School Love” which is basically about me never having a boyfriend in high school, and still holding out for that dream that one day I’m going to have a love like that, one that’s going to feel so exciting an...
[Intro]
Gotta find that high school love
Gotta find that high school love
I don't wanna waste no time
Gotta find that high school love
I've already made up my mind
Gotta find that high school love
I still wear your jersey number on my wrist
And even went round your house
When I was pissed
'Til this day I won't settle for second best
It's just gotta be perfect, perfect...
Gotta find that high school love
Gotta find that high school love
[Verse 1]
Together, apart
I'd watch you on the school bus, from afar
I swear one time we flirted
But in my heart
I knew that it wasn't real, real
I used to daydream
And doodle in my notebook our names
I'd hide it underneath my pillow
And when I looked every night
It was perfect, perfect
I don't wanna waste no time
Gotta find that high school love
I've already made up my mind
Gotta find that high school love
But I won't stop believing in what I want
I don't wanna, I don't wanna waste no time
Gotta find that high school love
Can't stop dreamin' 'bout what I want
Cause I, I've already made up my mind
Gotta find that high school love
I still wear your jersey number on my wrist
And even went round your house
When I was pissed
Till this day I won't settle for second best
It's just gotta be perfect, perfect...
Gotta find that high school love
Gotta find that high school love
I know that it's dumb
When all my friends
They try to get me some
But I was happy waiting for you
I really thought that it could be real, real
I still wear your jersey number on my wrist
And even went round your house
When I was pissed
Till this day I won't settle for second best
It's just gotta be perfect, perfect
But I won't stop believing in what I want
I don't wanna, I don't wanna waste no time
Gotta find that high school love
Can't stop dreamin' 'bout what i want
Cause I, I've already made up my mind
Gotta find that high school love
But I won't stop believing in what I want
I don't wanna, I don't wanna waste no time
Gotta find that high school love
Can't stop dreamin' 'bout what i want
Cause I, I've already made up my mind
Gotta find that high school love
High School Luv was produced by Henrik The Artist.
LIZ released High School Luv on Mon Oct 17 2016.
Though Liz’s career has changed dramatically since she recorded the song, in July 2015 she said:
High School Luv is still very much alive…I hope to put it on my album or possibly release it beforehand. It’s very close to my heart, lyrically. When SOPHIE and I wrote it, it was effortless.
So a rele...
