Running Back To You (Commentary)

Joachim Speidel:

So "Running Back To You" with Alexa Lusader was a track that we wrote in LA in this really tiny AirBnB. Like one crate of White Claws deep. It's very interesting because it is very non-conventional. Like essentially the narrator, this character's like this masochistic girl who is addicted to drama and basically the fight and like struggle, and it's like, to her, like, she has a very bad, I guess–

Stuart Brookes:

It's like a corrupted view of what love should be.

Joachim:

Yeah, it's like a very bad image of that. And she thinks that love should be fighting and struggles and constant arguing. And so basically she's saying that she's not gonna, like, leave without a fight, basically.

Stuart:

And one of the really big moments for us in that song was, it was, in the second verse, and it was a part where we cut out the whole instrumental and she says a line that says, "I like it right here." And that's sort of showing that point where she's happy and content in this, you know, conflict, yeah, toxic, conflict-driven environment. So that was kind of a fun one to write.
