Lauv And Troye Sivan, Heartbreak Kings, Are 'So Tired' Of Love Songs: Listen

So maybe you assumed that Lauv and Troye Sivan's "i'm so tired..." Could be some sort of anthem about millennial angst and burnout. However that's not these guys' fashion. Alternatively, the two singer-songwriters take a page out of Ne-Yo's playbook by declaring that they're "so tired" of love songs. So tired, case in point, that you're going to have to excuse them whenever they dip out of this party early to go nurse their heartbreak.


Lauv — a mile away from the doe-eyed sweetness of "I Like Me Better" — sets the scene throughout the initial verse. "Party / Trying my best to meet somebody / Although each person around me's falling in love ... Hate it / Taking a shot 'cause I can't take it," the newly single crooner sings over a pile of synths. Sivan chimes in on the next verse, documenting his failed attempts to move on ("Strangers / Killing my lonely nights with strangers") and even name-checking Lorde's "Buzzcut Season" and Coldplay's "Hurts Like Heaven."


The heartbreak kings join forces on the immediately singalong-friendly hook, lamenting, "I'm so tired of love songs, tired of love songs, tired of love songs, tired of love / Just wanna go residence, wanna go house, wanna go residence It's the perfect song about leaving a party since Alessia Cara's "Here" — nevertheless at least these two have each other to commiserate with.


In a press release, Sivan mentioned of the collab, "'i'm so tired...' Is a heartbreak song about an inescapable person. Lauv is such a good songwriter, and him and I were writing with each other for his project as soon as the song came about. We ended up creating an accidental duet, and I couldn't be happier to be on the song."


Lauv added, "I've been an enormous fan of Troye's music and what he does for the world for years, so working with him was an absolute honor. Whenever we wrote 'i'm so tired...' He just sounded also good singing it, so I think it was just organic to do the record together."


Even more exhilarating, this is Lauv's last single before he heads back to the studio to record his hotly anticipated debut album. He mentioned, "I figured we'd go out on a heartbroken banger vibe so it's sad although fun."


"i'm so tired..." Arrives soon after both Lauv and Sivan teased the collab with a short, nocturnal clip of these perched on an old vehicle. No word however on whether or not that's a scene from a possible music video, however we're keeping our fingers crossed!
