about

“Play Pretend” features a swaggering bassline, lots of harmonies by brothers, and lyrics that we consider to be a “breakup” with 2020. This is the first time we are releasing a song that we wrote, recorded, and mixed on our own in our basement. This is also our first new song release since 2019, marking a sleek new direction with our sound while preservingour love for both melodic and instrumental hooks. (Fits alongside Charlie Puth, Dua Lipa, DNCE)

lyrics

Told me that you need somebody
Two months and you’re missing me
You just want attention,
Lonely in your bed
I don’t wanna make believe

Girl I saw you checking out
When the sky was falling down
You really had a good thing in your hands

Now you’re coming back for me
Tryna change our history
You’re living in a fantasy land

You want me there like I’m holding on
Calling me up like there ain’t nothing wrong
I won’t be in your reality
This never ends because you play pretend

Your love was a simulation
Feeding on my energy
Time for you to let go
There’s no going back
To a dream of you and me

Girl I saw you checking out
When the sky was falling down
You really had a good thing in your hands


Now you’re coming back for me
Tryna change our history
You’re living in a fantasy land

You want me there like I’m holding on
Calling me up like there ain’t nothing wrong
I won’t be in your reality
This never ends because you play pretend

Oh, oh, oh
You play pretend
Oh, oh, oh

You want me in the morning
Need me every night
Only way you’ll get me’s in your mind

You want me in the morning
Need me every night
Only way you’ll get me’s in your mind

You want me there like I’m holding on
Calling me up like there ain’t nothing wrong
I won’t be in your reality
This never ends because you play pretend

Oh, oh, oh
(you want me in the morning, you need me every night)
You play pretend
Oh, oh, oh
(you want me in the morning, you need me every night)
You play pretend
