Tayo Sound has shared his new single, ‘Forwards & Backwards’.
The song marks his second single of the year following his collaboration with Oscar Scheller on ‘Two Left Feet’. It also arrives ahead of live shows with Allday and Cautious Clay, plus a headline run in September.
He says: “‘Forwards and Backwards’ is about an unhealthy relationship that kinda feels like a tug of war. Melodically it’s very Jon Bellion inspired. Finn Keane (Charli XCX) wrote the guitar part, Frances (Dua Lipa, Holly Humberstone) the hook and then I had the verse melody and the rest came together really quickly. I wanted it to feel bouncy but lyrically really sad, which is kind of the whole point of the song, a constant battle between the good and the bad of a breaking relationship.”
