“Focus” is a chilled, almost apocalyptic love song by Canadian singer-songwriter Allie X. It was released as the lead single to her sophomore EP, Super Sunset.

The track was first teased in a Reddit post by Allie herself, initiating the journey into her conceptualised version of Los Angeles.

Allie X spoke in-depth about the meaning of this song in a Billboard interview:

“Focus” is one of the more heartfelt songs that I’ve written. It’s sort of an apocalyptic love song. You’re painting this picture of the sky kind of parting, and chaos everywhere, even though it is beautiful, the way that I see it.

Sonically, “Focus” interrupts synths with a minimalist percussive melody. The synths are turned up to 11 in her remix, “Focus (Analog Version)”.
