Songfacts®:

  • Lovejoy is an English rock band fronted by YouTuber Wilbur Soot and named after one of his friends. This song is a track from their debut EP Are You Alright? Released on May 9, 2021, it became Soot's second composition to reach the UK singles chart, following his solo track "Your New Boyfriend."
  • The song is about a toxic relationship where Soot took the girl back after a break. He begins the song by expressing his regret about reviving the tumultuous romance.

    Cause why'd you have to kill my cat?
    Why'd I have to take you back?


    His curiosity about whether he could make the relationship work after their time apart got the better of him.
  • Soot is torn between his love for the girl and the stress of living with her. The chorus finds him reflecting on his contrasting feelings about their romance that switch from day to day.

    One day, I know that you will be there
    One day, I'll focus on the future


    He keeps changing his mind whether to stick with the girl or quit.
  • Soot wrote the song with the other band members: guitarist Joe Goldsmith; bassist Ash Kabosu; drummer Mark Boardman.

    Brighton-based producer and mix engineer Cameron Nesbitt ("Him" by James Marriott) helmed the track.
