LAU's third single 'What To Do' is finally here, giving us a taste of what's to expect from her brand new LP due in February 2022.
This track is an uptempo, infectious Synthpop single, about the bittersweet feeling of having a long distance relationship. Dealing with 'remote romancing' and 'falling for a stranger' via zoom in the times of pandemic, and all the ups and downs that entails.
For 'What To Do', LAU has teamed up once again with French producer Ends 84, with whom she's worked on her first album 'Believer' and the result is as powerful as always.
I didn’t think it’d happen
I know I can’t complain
Love is all I wanted
But not this way
This remote romancing
Is so hard to maintain
Falling for a stranger
Miles away
All I know is
you’re always on my mind
Tell me what to do, what to do, what to do
With this love
Cause I’ve got nowhere else to hide I’ve got
Nowhere else to run
So tell me what to do, what to do, what to do
With my heart
Cause I am just falling apart (baby)
Without you by my side
We’re virtually advancing
It’s so hard to explain
My friends are all divided
On what to say
All I know is
you’re always on my mind
Tell me what to do, what to do, what to do
With this love
Cause I’ve got nowhere else to hide I’ve got
Nowhere else to run
So tell me what to do, what to do, what to do
With my heart
Cause I am just falling apart (baby)
Without you by my side
So what is it you wanna do?
Can we just pretend this is all true?
And we’ve actually met
And it all works out
The way it’s supposed to?
And it’s like
Real life
And we feel like we touch the sky
And you’re mine
Tell me what to do, what to do, what to do
With this love
Cause I’ve got nowhere else to hide I’ve got
Nowhere else to run
So tell me what to do, what to do, what to do
With my heart
Cause I am just falling apart (baby)
Without you by my side
