Courting have released “stalkerish or romantic” new single ‘After You’ ahead of their third album

Liverpool band Courting release synth-driven single ‘After You’, exploring themes of duality ahead of their third album ‘Lust for Life’.

Artists: Courting
Courting want to hit everyone in the face with their third album, 'Lust For Life', due March 2025

Courting have shared new single ‘After You’, the second track to be lifted from their upcoming third album ‘Lust for Life, Or: ‘How To Thread The Needle And Come Out The Other Side To Tell The Story”.

The Liverpool band’s latest offering follows previous single ‘Pause At You. They’ve also shared a black and white music video for the track, directed by Charlie Barclay-Harris.

“‘After You’ was the first song that we wrote for Lust for Life,” explains frontman Sean Murphy-O’Neill. “It is an exercise in direct songwriting, an attempt to create something very straightforward. We wanted the wall of guitars and the drums to feel almost hypnotic. A lot of the album is about the idea of duality, and lyrically – the song can be read in either a stalkerish voice or a romantic voice. It’s all up to you.”
