Catchy melody connoisseurs Wallows returned today with the single "Especially You" to announce their new album: The Ariel Rechtshaid–produced Tell Me That It's Over, which is the follow-up to 2019's Nothing Happens and their 2020 EP Remote, is out March 25. On the new single, Dylan Minnette sings over spiraling synths, buzzy guitars, and shuffling drums about misinterpretations from another that send them into anxiety's miserable arms. "Can’t stop a mood that swings / I’ll read into anything / I know that’s not what you meant," goes part of one verse.
“It’s about when you’re in the early stages of a relationship and you get so worried that the other person’s mind will change at the flip of a switch," Minnette explained about the track. "It’s about stressing over the smallest things for no reason, but it’s definitely self-aware about the fact that I’m doing this all to myself.” In addition to the single's all too-relatable sentiment that people can be confusing as hell, it showcase that the group is burrowing into weirder, exciting influences for their charming earworms.
"Especially You" arrives alongside a very meta Jason Lester–directed video that finds the trio on set for a photo shoot and video. They're not only themselves as a band, but also play the behind-the-scenes crew, including everyone from the director to the hair and makeup team.
