about

A painfully honest song entering the hideous and ridiculous universe of dating apps, and exiting with the freedom that comes from not needing to be "with someone" to be happy.

Written, composed, performed & produced by Ch'Lu

Filmed, edited & video concept by Vee Vimolmal

lyrics

I want to actually talk
Not text half the night
A romantic walk
Kissing in the moonlight
Sifting through profiles
Worded so carefully
Is this for me?
Not likely

A photo with a child
Indicates you're fatherly
A photo with a tourist site
So I know you've left the UK
You've really thought this through
Really imaginative

A photo with a drink
Makes it clear that you have fun
A photo with a friend
so I know that you have one
And the photo of you looking sporty
Well that one's lovely

We're looking more outside than in for love
Where do we begin?
All these apps are really crap
I'm not the type to sit and swipe
I'm not the type to sit and swipe

A photo with fit mates, which one is you?
I super-like by mistake
Now what do I say?
I swiped the wrong way
Has my future love slipped away?
Oh shit
Never gonna get it

You liked me
I liked you back
Don't care about your height
I'd rather than you write
You're first to say hi
Then you don't reply
Why?
Time-waster

CHORUS

You call me babe
And text me your number
And a fuzzy photo in your pants
Makes me wonder
Yeah I feel really special
Bet that's not even you

You like to play arrogant
Hours text-arguing
You don't intend to meet me
This app is your therapy
What's your problem?
I don't have time for this

CHORUS

Years in jail
Out on remand
An ex Escort
Orgasms on demand
Yeah you're hot
But I'm not gonna
Don't really trust you

It's good way to network
Or practice my Italian
Is it wrong to date back-to-back
To find my Stallion?
But this really could have worked out well
Never mind

CHORUS

Did this exist in reality?
Based on some photos we built up a fantasy
We break-up and make-up before we've even met
Intensity freaks you so easily
Emotional fucktard
God this is hard

CHORUS

Then someone different floats by
You've were hurt
She died
Don't know why
You're shy
Thank you for being that guy
Thank you for being that guy

I'm not the type to sit and swipe
I'm not the type to sit and swipe
