Lazy Day has released their new single ‘Getting Good’.
The track marks the final preview of debut album ‘Open the Door’ ahead of its release on 9th November via Brace Yourself Records.
Songwriter Tilly Scantlebury explains the meaning behind the song: “The song is about my menial but recurring feelings of failure. And how I can become really good at behaviours that aren’t helpful, habits that stop me from doing what I need to do. I’m not sure that many people would recognise this kind of avoidance in me, but I wanted to stare at that secret tendency of mine head on.”
They continue: “Open the Door is about possibility and capacity, but ‘Getting Good’ is about those times when I’ve been too worried to push the door open myself, and it’s been easier to keep it closed: ‘I know I could be good if I just left the house now / And stepped into the world, it’s not that I don’t know how.’ Writing the song helped me refocus on the things I really truly want to be good at. Getting good as a continual process, but one that requires you to move on.”
The single is accompanied by a video directed by Abi Sinclair.
Lazy Day will embark on a UK headline tour in February, as well as playing some intimate in-store shows around the album’s release in November.
