Stream: Like You - Exes

Following on from previous singles Twentythousand and 18, duo Allie McDonald and Mike Derenzo are back with another new slice of ice cold synth-pop R&B in the form of Like You.

The song is inspired by an actual relationship of McDonald's - describing the song she says:

“‘Like You’ is a very real song about a very real boy I fell quickly and unrealistically for. Although the subject matter is a bit sad, the bouncy playfulness of the production adds an aspect of teenage naivety. Even in adulthood, relationships can be immature and overdramatic, and I think "Like You" really showcases that.”

The track has just been picked up by Spotify for their 'Indie Pop!' playlist, further evidence that these guys have great things ahead of them. Check out Like You now...

it stings lookin’ at you lookin’ at me and i’m feeling something your fingers burnin’ on my skin but my touch is doing nothing you told me “maybe if we lived a little closer we could do this” you hold me and i don’t give a fuck about the miles don’t wanna lose you now you don’t stay in touch i don’t even think that your songs are about me but you don’t like me the way that i like you and i’m hopelessly hung up and it’s too soon cause you don’t like me the way that i like you it’s a lot that i like you the way that i like you the way that i like you it’s not that i like you the way that i like you the way that i like you come clean tell me if you miss me cause i’m going fucking crazy this ain’t me overdosin’ rollercoastin’ drink you down like whiskey you told me “maybe in the new year i could visit you in LA” you hold me and i don’t give a fuck about the miles don’t wanna lose you ever you don’t stay in touch i don’t even think that your songs are about me but you don’t like me the way that i like you and i’m hopelessly hung up and it’s too soon cause you don’t like me the way that i like you it’s a lot that i like you the way that i like you the way that i like you it’s not that i like you the way that i like you the way that i like you do you remember the night we drove in your car to some empty bar and all i could see in your eyes were the stars all i could feel was your hand on my heart do you remember the night you played your guitar we kissed in the dark and all i could see in your eyes were the stars all i could feel was your hand on my heart but you don’t like me the way that i like you and i’m hopelessly hung up and it’s too soon cause you don’t like me the way that i like you it’s a lot that i like you the way that i like you the way that i like you it’s not that i like you the way that i like you the way that i like you
