About this song
The lead single from Alvvays' debut album, the song is one of the band's best-known tracks. Lead singer Molly Rankin and guitarist Alec O'Hanley were in a relationship during the band's early days, and both were in their early twenties then. They wrote and recorded what became the band's breakthrough hit at a farmhouse.
