About This Track

'Cherry' finds Jungle in the thick of heartbreak, cycling through the same refrain with the kind of hypnotic insistence that makes resignation sound like defiance. The song turns on a simple, brutal assertion: you're never going to change me, I was already changing. It's a breakup song that refuses the usual postures of devastation or anger, instead settling into something closer to self-preservation, a person drawing a line and holding it. The production sits somewhere between shuffling funk and tropical languor, all leaning whips and groove, the kind of track that sounds like it's falling apart and holding together at once. Jungle layer the vocals so they blur and repeat, turning the chorus into something almost meditative, a mantra you repeat until it stops hurting. The song acknowledges loss without drowning in it; there's a weariness to lines about wishing you could protect someone, about being wrong, about moving on. A Dork four-star record, 'For Ever' moves with this same balance of highs and lows, and 'Cherry' sits comfortably in that space where Jungle sound most themselves: confident enough to let a song breathe, assured enough to know when less is more.

"Cherry" is a single by JUNGLE, from the album For Ever, released 13th September 2018. The track is 3:16 long. It's filed under Electronic. Full lyrics are available below. Dork has published 14 articles about JUNGLE.

Lyrics

Cherry

You're never gonna change me
You're ne-, you're never gonna change me
I was already changing
You're never gonna change me
You're ne-, you're never gonna change me
I was already changing

I wish I could protect you
That was all wasted, follow something new
I wish I could perfect you
I was wrong, they said, now I'm over you

(Flowers in the garden) that won't grow
(Flowers on a chains) it's not the same
(Flowers in the garden)
Life won't grow if we never change

You're never gonna change me
(I'll miss you)
You're never gonna change me
I was already changing
You're never gonna change me
You're never gonna change me
I was already changing

(I was already changing)
(I was already changing)
(I was already changing)
You're never gonna change me

I wish I could protect you
I was wrong, they said, finding someone new
Now we stop the pretending
Kinda hard to listen while they're talking

(Flowers in the garden) that won't grow
(Flowers on the chains) it's not the same
(Flowers in the garden)
Life won't grow if we never change

You're never gonna change me
(I'll miss you)
You're never gonna change me
I was already changing
You're never gonna change me
You're never gonna change me
I was already changing

(I was already changing)
(I was already changing)
You're never gonna change me

    Why Jungle’s dancers are central to the band’s identity
