USE ME SONG BIO

Use me is a song about being used.

It is about someone who knows their feelings for another are unrequited but is so desperate that they are willing to settle for even a semblance of affection or love from them. They are willing to let themselves be used to convince themselves of a false notion of being close and intimate with this person. Even if it “doesn’t mean anything” to them, they can at least “pretend”.

The song went through many iterations before it became the heavy, club style, dance song it is now. Originally a more guitar driven, indie rock song, the final version came about through meticulous remixing, reworking and sampling of the original material, along with the addition of electronic percussion and heavily processed, auto tuned vocals lending to its ‘club tune’ atmosphere and feel.

The ‘dance-drops’ of each chorus are aggressively fast paced and heavy, highlighting the desperation and distress of the unrequited party and the lyrics explore how painful and unhealthy allowing oneself to continue in a relationship / dynamic like this can be.
