“two nights” marks Lykke Li’s first collaboration with Aminé. The song sparsely starts as a piano-driven ballad before building up to Aminé’s rap verse over trap-influenced production.
In the song, Lykke Li is alone worrying about her partner’s fidelity. As a response, Aminé directly addresses her:...
[Chorus: Lykke Li]
Two nights in a row, where'd you go?
I've been smokin'
Two nights in a row, now I know that it's broken
[Verse 1: Lykke Li]
Somebody else
I think you're out there with someone else
Somebody else
I think you might be with someone else
[Pre-Chorus: Lykke Li]
I, I left all the lights on
I've been sleepin' with no clothes on
You never came home
[Chorus: Lykke Li]
Two nights in a row, where'd you go?
I've been smokin'
Two nights in a row, now I know that it's broken
You've been dancin' with somebody
On the streets with somebody
Two nights in a row, where'd you go?
I've been smokin'
[Verse 2: Lykke Li]
Nobody else
You say there's no one, but I can tell
All by myself
Why can't you need me and nothin' else?
[Pre-Chorus: Lykke Li]
I, I left all the lights on, sleepin' with no clothes on
Baby, I've been starin' at a blank phone
You never came home
[Chorus: Lykke Li]
Two nights in a row, where'd you go?
I've been smokin'
Two nights in a row, now I know that it's broken
You've been dancin' with somebody
On the streets with somebody
Two nights in a row, where'd you go?
I've been smokin'
[Bridge: Aminé & Aminé & Lykke Li]
Two steppin' with two girls on a Tuesday
Who's paid? That's me, oh, yeah
I'm a flirt, you alert, worst curve
When the birds chirp, chirp on my nerves, oh, yeah
Don't be sad, look alive, Lykke
Damn right, she gon' dance on my damn Dickies
I mean, when's the last time you danced on me?
Shit, when's the last time you even loved?
You look like a dummy
You think it's dark, but it's sunny
I feel it all in my tummy
You think it's sweet like a sundae
I'm never bummy or scummy
You're paranoid like a bunny
You're dead to me
You the drug, I'm the junkie
Pretty penny, so I don't know where to start
Tag along, I'm a vagabond to your heart
I mean, what can I say?
I'll drive to you, like
[Outro: Lykke Li]
Two nights in a row, where'd you go?
I've been smokin'
Two nights in a row, now I know that it's broken

“Two Nights” is so much my story that I wanted to hear from another angle. Skrillex was friends with him, they had already tried something together previously. So then he came to the studio, and I told him the story and gave him some time and then he did his rap and it was really interesting how he...
