Lauv releases new single 'fuck, i’m lonely' with Anne-Marie
/Platinum-certified independent singer, songwriter, producer, and pop visionary Lauv has released new single 'fuck, I'm lonely' with Anne-Marie today. The track will be featured on Lauv’s forthcoming debut album titled ~how i'm feeling.
In addition, the song will be featured on the upcoming 3rd season of the popular Netflix show, 13 Reasons Why.
On the inclusion in 13 Reasons Why, Lauv, a vocal proponent of de-stigmatising mental health issues himself said, "I’m excited to have “fuck, i’m lonely” included on the 13 Reasons Why soundtrack...I believe the show has done amazing work but as we release this song, I wanted to share my thoughts about the show with you: when you watch, watch thoughtfully - start with a close friend who you feel like you can be honest with."
Lauv said on the song and Anne-Marie, "'fuck, i’m lonely' is pretty self-explanatory, so all I have to say is this: cheeseburgers. I met and saw Anne-Marie live for the first time when we played at Wembley together. She’s highly silly in a way that has swag, such a good performer and her outfits are crazy."
Anne-Marie added, “I love this song and I love Lauv. I'm so excited to share 'fuck, i'm lonely' with everyone. I never really like admitting that I miss someone after a break up. So here's a song that does it for me Enjoy!”
'fuck, I’m lonely' follows hot on the heels of Lauv’s smash hit single, 'i’m so tired…' with homegrown hero Troye Sivan. Since release, the song has amassed more than 350 million streams and is Platinum here in New Zealand. The song has also spent 25 weeks in the Radioscope NZ Top 100 chart.
Earlier this year, Lauv unveiled single 'Drugs & The Internet', marking the first release from the singers highly anticipated debut album titled ~how i'm feeling~, which will see him continuously rolling out singles before it’s release. The video, directed by Jenna Marsh (Nicki Minaj, Kanye West) sees Lauv getting pulled from reality into a digital universe. He gets trapped and loses himself to the overwhelming stimulus of a world where the internet gets brought to life. [watch]
Lauv recently released 'Sad Forever', the second track from ~how i'm feeling~. The song was written in the midst of the pop visionary’s own struggle with mental health of which he detailed here. Lauv donated all proceeds from the track to various mental health organisations across the world that work to de-stigmatize mental health issues.
Lauv will bring his incredible live show to New Zealand as part of the "~how i'm feeling~ (world tour, 2019)." hitting Auckland's Shed 10, Queens Wharf, on November 20.
