about

New single and EP closer "I'm in" finds Bo Milli in the heat of an argument. Questioning from the offset "Do people change?" to a backdrop of subtle atmospheric production flourishes, the floodgates then open as the song swings into its crushing indie-rock chorus, with Milli smartly capturing the essence of the feud "When we last spoke, we fought / I blew it up / But believe it or not / What I said, I said it for us."

Again working alongside frequent collaborator Odd Martin (Sigrid, Sløtface) on production and co-written with Albin Eidhagen and Tore Bojsten of Stockholm band Sötnos, Bo Milli discussed the creation of the song and its lyrical meaning:

"I wrote the song with Tore and Albin in Stockholm, starting with a nylon acoustic through some pedals. It was getting quite late when we came up with a chorus we liked but realized it didn’t work at the tempo we had set. We tried to speed everything up, but that didn’t work for the verse. That's how this track ended up with a couple of switch-ups in tempo: I love the energy it brings into the choruses. It’s about saying something very hurtful but true in the heat of an argument and regretting how it was said but knowing that it couldn’t remain unsaid. If we can work through this, then I’m in."

lyrics

The last weeks, I’ve been engaged in the great escape
Wondering if it’s too late
The last weeks, I’ve been engaged in a great debate:
Do people change?

If so, I’m in, I’m in, I’m in

When we last spoke, we fought. I blew it up
But believe it or not
What I said, I said it for us
And if you’re willing,
To give things another shot,
Now we’ve got a fresh start
Let me know if you are;
I’m in, I’m in, I’m in, I’m in

I’m in, I’m in
I’m in, I’m in, I’m in

I’ve spent my time searching through the rubble, wondering
Was it inevitable?
At the time, I felt I was watching from outside of myself, and it was
out of my hands
The last weeks, I’ve been engaged in the great debate:
Do people change?

If so, I’m in, I’m in, I’m in, I’m in

When we last spoke, we fought. I blew it up
But believe it or not
What I said, I said it for us
And if you’re willing,
To give things another shot,
Now we’ve got a fresh start
Let me know if you are;
I’m in, I’m in, I’m in, I’m in
I’m in, I’m in
I’m in, I’m in, I’m in, I’m in

Through her diaristic lyrics, the super smart environmentalist writes hook after hook as she navigates her inner conflict. And indeed, in putting her own life into words, she has unknowingly narrated our collective existential angst. ... more
