And it goes just like this, sing it with my lips like ‘la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la’…
I‘ve been going “Hahaha” all spring and summer long, and now I’ll be singing “Lalala” ‘til 2025 and beyond.
Singer/songwriter Stevie Bill has effectively proven herself a pop music wizard, her music as irresistibly catchy as it is emotionally potent, and her third single of the year highlights her talents in a brilliant two-and-a-half minute package. Released August 2nd via Warner Music Benelux (her second official release via the major label), “Lalala” is a celebration of music that gets at the heart of why we fall so hard – that special something that gets under our skin, making the ordinary extraordinary, soundtracking life’s little moments and connecting us to someone, and something greater than ourselves.
“And it goes just like this, sing it with my lips like, la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la,” Bill sings, deep in her own sun-kissed daydream. “And I swing with my hips and I blow you a kiss like la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la.” And just like that, we’re hooked.
But it’s the last hurrah, I’m leaving
I don’t know when I’ll be back
So I’m going far, I need it
Sing it back, back to back
Oh, baby
“‘Lalala’ is a song about blasting your favourite song on repeat,” the Dutch artist, based in New York City, tells Atwood Magazine. “The song is inspired by one of my favourite songs to dance to when I’m out at night. Some might not know this about me, but I am quite a party girl. Growing up with my parents hosting frequent gatherings at home sparked my passion for hosting and now even DJ-ing, including the all-girls’ nights I organize with my friends in New York.”
Bill continues, “Dancing and nightlife are genuine outlets and hobbies for me – they’re where I really let loose. The right music can truly elevate the night and make it unforgettable. I wanted to write a fun song, a song to strut down the street to with your headphones on, a silly song that’s not to be taken too seriously. Music, in its diverse forms, has a way of soothing, understanding through sadness, and empowering through its infectious rhythms and uplifting melodies.”
“Naming this song ‘Lalala’ following ‘Hahaha’ reinforces its carefree spirit for me,” she adds. “It’s all about enjoying the moment and having a good time. ‘They love me tender I feel better when I put that record on, that beautiful song goes lalala,’ it’s just how music makes me feel. Music is a healer, and it forever will be my healer. This is my love song to music.”
Bill hits her high in the track’s impassioned, invigorating chorus:
I got them wrapped around
my finger on a dark night
The lyrics soothing like
a plaster on a snake bite
They love me tender, I feel better
when I put that record on
That beautiful song goes
La-la-la, la-la-la-la-la,
la-la-la-la-la
Sweet, summery, soulful, and utterly seductive, “Lalala” leaves an immediate, lasting mark as Stevie Bill shines her warm and wondrous light out into the world. She holds nothing back in creating a moment of revelry and cheer, dwelling in the good times where music lifts us up to our highest possible heights, no matter what mood we were in previously. The guitars glow, the drums pulse a tight, dynamic groove, and Bill herself soaks up the heat of the moment, her golden voice hot on the mic – a vessel of infectious, unadulterated joy.
And it goes just like this,
sing it with my lips like
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
And I swing with my hips
and I blow you a kiss, mwah
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
Maybe one more time can you
Sing that pretty song for me?
Maybe one more time can you
Can you, can you sing that pretty song for me?
This is euphoria manifest in two and a half minutes of smile-inducing musical honey.
Buoyant and blissful, “Lalala” truly is an ode to our favorite songs, and it may very well become one of our favorite songs in due time, thanks to Stevie Bill’s radiant, rousing, and instantly memorable performance.
I got them wrapped around
my finger on a dark night
The lyrics soothing
like a plaster on a snake bite
They love me tender,
I feel better when I put that record on
That beautiful song goes
And when I get into my Chevy on a late night
I turn it up and up and up and then I feel right
I swear there’s nothing I love better
so I put my record on
That beautiful song, oh
