4 More Years

4 More Years

Declan McKenna

‘4 More Years’ is the 12th and closing track on the digital version of What Happened to the Beach?, and the 14th track on the physical version.

It’s about when England got knocked out of the World Cup. It’s both funny, but also leans into the dark emotions. I’m most proud of the lyric “four more years”. So what happened was, England got knocked out of the World Cup and I sat down with the guitar and I went “four more years”, and it sounded really ethereal. And then I thought “hmm” and then it made the album.

He also said, in a Twitter Q&A, that this was the song on the album that was quickest to write.
