The track was released on April 16th 2020, a day before the album itself, on Radio 1’s Future Sounds with Annie Mac as the ‘Hottest Record’.
On the radio, singer and producer Rou Reynolds explains the meaning of the song:
This one’s kind of, it’s taken on a new meaning, really, over the last few m...
[Intro]
I wish I was a comet
Burning up into the night
I wish I was a comet
But I'm just a satellite
[Verse 1]
I don't like the limelight
So we don't hold hands in daylight
I still drag the closet
All my limbs, they ache inside
And surely, all my family and my friends
My god and my ends
They cannot all be wrong
So I play along:
[Pre-Chorus]
We refrain from touch
We are satellites (Da dada dada da)
In a cosmic dance
Amongst the northern lights (Da dada dada da)
And we orbit fast
But I wish we could collide
I'm sick of concealing
I'm sick of the feeling
I no longer want to hide
[Chorus]
'Cause I think it could be love
(Yeah I think it could be love)
But I can't show you enough
(But I can't show you enough)
I wanna burn through the atmosphere
Soar like a meteor tonight
'Cause I think it could be love
('Cause I think it could be love)
But I can't show you enough
(But I can't show you enough)
I wanna burn through the atmosphere
Soar like a meteor tonight
[Verse 2]
All the gravity between us
Someone bring me down to land
And write a prayer to Venus
What is life without affection
[Pre-Chorus]
We refrain from touch
We are satellites (Da dada dada da)
In a cosmic dance
Amongst the northern lights (Da dada dada da)
And we orbit fast
But I wish we could collide
I'm sick of concealing
I'm sick of the feeling
I no longer want to hide
[Chorus]
'Cause I think it could be love
(Yeah I think it could be love)
But I can't show you enough
(But I can't show you enough)
I wanna burn through the atmosphere
Soar like a meteor tonight
[Bridge]
Now online they discuss:
Whether I exist
And in the court they decide:
Who I can kiss
Now online they discuss:
Whether I exist
And in the court they decide:
Who I can kiss
[Chorus]
'Cause I think it could be love
(Yeah I think it could be love)
But I can't show you enough
(But I can't show you enough)
I wanna burn through the atmosphere
Soar like a meteor tonight
'Cause I think it could be love
('Cause I think it could be love)
But I can't show you enough
(But I can't show you enough)
I wanna burn through the atmosphere
Soar like a meteor tonight

It’s a breath of fresh air after the heavy stuff that’s come before it. It’s similar to ‘Crossing the Rubicon’ in that it has a burst of positivity and colour to it. It’s about having to deal with emotions that a lot of people don’t have to think about. It’s about empathising with situations we’ve n...
