Swedish Artist LOVA Pampers Us With Her Delicious Single “Black Converse”



You’ve probably already heard the single « Black Converse », released on June 5th by Swedish singer/songwriter LOVA, on the radio — or in a random clothing store, because even though it was recently unveiled, it has already passed 1 million plays on Spotify. And it’s understandable because the track is genuinely haunting and hard to forget. The melodies are catchy and LOVA’s vocal tone takes you places.
Of course the composing and songwriting can only be neat because it was surgically touched by other professionals like Teo Runsiö, Frans Torell, and Litens Nilsson.
Moreover, the lyrics explores the hardest part of a relationship, which is breaking with someone and watching the latter move on. The young singer explains in her words:
“Black Converse’ is about a breakup that I went through a couple of years ago. At the time, I was heartbroken and at my worst. I decided that I didn’t want to write about the breakup mostly because I didn’t want my grieving process to be all about him. Instead I focused on me and my feelings only. After a few years of writing, being single and focusing on my mental health, I thought it was the right time to write a song about what I was feeling during the breakup.” LOVA continues, “This specific song is about the stage in a breakup where your ex is moving on and finding someone new in front of your eyes but you are still very much emotionally invested and can’t find a way to let go of that relationship. All you want to do is to call this person and act like everything is how it used to be. But you are no longer that person who makes him feel at his best or who he wants to spend all his time with, which was something that was really hard for me to come to terms with.”
