LA-based band, New Language have released their new single “Stuck With Yourself” off their sophomore LP of the same name.
The track’s title – “Stuck With Yourself” and encompassing lyrical content is ironically more timely than ever, despite being written prior to quarantine. Leaning into the current universally relatable nature, the band seeks out meaning within it all.
“Stuck With Yourself”, both song and album, is produced by NEW LANGUAGE’s singer Tyler Demorest. The concept for which was born after witnessing a friend continuously keeping him/herself in a toxic situation despite obvious solutions being provided. The band ran with a theme of “Munchausen syndrome,” which is a disorder wherein those affected pretend to be affected by disease, illness, or psychological trauma to draw attention, sympathy, or reassurance to themselves.
“Stuck With Yourself” also has an internal exploration element to it with the lyrics, “At the end of the day, you only have yourself…so you better be happy with who you are and what you do. You have to control your own destiny, in a sense.”
