“Coffee” is the first single off of Sylvan Esso’s self-titled effort. As their breakout song, it established their presence on the music scene.

Through a variety of imagery, such as coffee and dancing, they convey how love is universal, no matter the context, and how they’ve come to terms with that bittersweet reality.

Nick and Amelia explained how the song was created on an episode of the podcast Song Exploder.
