Lauv Wishes He Could Live Inside The 'Sims' On His Wistful New Song

Soon after steadily releasing new singles all year long, Lauv has finally made the announcement we've been waiting for: His debut album is on the way!


That's the good news, although the bad news is that his hotly anticipated LP, ~how i'm feeling~, won't arrive up until March 6, 2020. To tide fans over up until then, the singer-songwriter has graciously shared although another new tune, and it's a sad bop in the vein of "fuck, i'm lonely" and "...I'm so tired." Those tracks featured Anne-Marie and Troye Sivan, respectively, however Lauv rides solo on "Sims," which, yes, takes its name from the beloved computer game.


"I wish that you and I lived in the Sims / we may design a residence and plant some plants and have kids," he starts. Nevertheless we're both at some trashy Halloween party downtown / And I'll probably never visualize you again." The predictably catchy chorus continues the theme of meeting the correct person at the incorrect time, with Lauv lamenting, "I wish we would've met on another night, baby / In another life, baby."


and also sharing "Sims" and announcing ~how i'm feeling~, Lauv also shared the album's quirky cover art, which features mini versions of himself wearing vibrant threads.


Speaking about the upcoming project in a press release, the 25-year-old mentioned, "I've been working on this album for a long time, although today marks the true starting of the new era. ~how i'm feeling~ is about embracing personality and all its different characteristic. I created 6 different characters represented by purple (existential Lauv), blue (hopeless romantic Lauv), green (goofy Lauv), yellow (positive Lauv), orange (fuckboy Lauv) and red (spicy Lauv™️), all of which make up my identity. While my last project was focused on one aspect of my life, ~how i'm feeling~ is the initial time I'm embracing all of the parts that make me who I am."


He also added that "Sims" will get an official music video soon, which he says will "bring the album concept and characters to life for the initial time. I'm more delighted of this project than anything I've done in the past. For the opening time, I'm completely me."
