“Like 1999” embodies the irritation and longing for social interaction that many of us experienced during the COVID pandemic in 2020.
Rather than rejoice in moving forward (and leaving behind) 2020, the song nostalgically glorifies the past. Valley wishes they could “travel back in time”.
Like 1999 Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Woke up, it's 2021
I wanna get texts, but I never wanna text back
Fuck man, I'm 2020 done
Another paycheck and I blew it, but I'm still sad
[Pre-Chorus]
We talk all of the time
But it still feels like I'm just a voice on the line, so
[Chorus]
If you wanna come over, watch Friends and then get high
Use my phone as a coaster, we'll travel back in time
Lights on the ceiling, we're more than a feeling
If you wanna come over, act like it's 1999
[Verse 2]
Woke up, had a dream about you
We were parked in a Pontiac, making out, no internet
Ten things I hate about you, honestly nothing
[Pre-Chorus]
We talk all of the time and I love it
So what are you doing tonight?
[Chorus]
If you wanna come over, watch Friends and then get high
Use my phone as a coaster, we'll travel back in time
Lights on the ceiling, we're more than a feeling
If you wanna come over, act like it's 1999-9-9-9 (One sec')
[Bridge]
Do you mind if I'm nostalgic? Let's go back before 2000
Back before our love was so distracted
I wish that Y2K had happened, we would stay forever classic
You and I would both be trapped in, in 1999
[Pre-Chorus]
We talk all of the time and I love it
So what are you doing tonight?
[Chorus]
If you wanna come over, watch Friends and then get high
Use my phone as a coaster, we'll travel back in time
Lights on the ceiling, we're more than a feeling
If you wanna come over, act like it's 1999
If you wanna come over, act like it's 1999

“Like 1999” kinda fell out of the sky, it all happened very quickly and we just wrote exactly what we were feeling in the moment. It’s really about wishing that we wouldn’t be so distracted all the time, 1999 was the end of pure human communication!! Now we...
What have the artists said about the song?
Rob Laska:
This was the song that started this whole new kind of era for us. It was a song that fell out of the sky. We were sitting in a cabin up north in Canada, doing nothing and just figuring out what we were gonna do for the next year, and this song just wrote itself in, like, an hour. It’s an...
