Rings a Bell

Allie X

“This song is more about falling into a rabbit hole, experiencing something surreal, in a dream, or in your subconscious perhaps,” – says OZGO

Allie sings about how her new lover seems familiar, yet she struggles with placing them.

“This was another thing that I had written in my Notes on my iPhone for years, and I told Oscar that I wanted to do something that has a swing in it—like ‘Everybody Wants to Rule the World’ by Tears for Fears, or ‘The Way You Make Me Feel’ by Michael Jackson. And Oscar was like, ‘Oh, it’s so hard to make that sound cool.’ And I was like, ‘Just try it!‘ And sure enough, he did. When the chorus comes in, and suddenly you’ve got all this percussion going on, it’s really impactful. Lyrically, it’s one of the more lighthearted songs on the record. It’s more about nostalgia and infatuation, written from the perspective of somebody—me, I guess!—meeting someone for the first time and feeling a hopefulness and possibility it could go somewhere.”
