The newest hit love song: Beabadoobee's "Glue Song"

ANNA LEE STAFF WRITER

“I’ve never known someone like you; Tangled in love stuck by you from the glue.” Sweet chords of a guitar start Beatrice Kristi Laus’—better known as Beabadoobee—new single, “Glue Song,” followed by bright string instruments and the mellow tune of a trumpet. Beabadoobee’s soft voice and heart-warming lyrics tie it all together—merging together a symphony of love in its most fluffy, tooth-ache inducing form.

Released on Valentine's Day earlier this year, “Glue Song” is the perfect lovey-dovey song for couples and hopeless romantics alike. First teased on TikTok by Laus in early January, fans and those who hadn’t heard of Beabadoobee at all immediately fell in love with the small fifteen second audio she posted on her account, @gnocchi500. “Glue Song” gained a lot of attention as more and more TikToks were made with its trending audio. In the first week following its release, it had already gained 20 million streams on Spotify. Quite different from the rest of Laus’ songs, “Glue Song” is a more experimental, tentative step from her usual indie rock. Songs like “Don’t Get The Deal” with ripping electric guitar riffs and “Fairy Song” with its harsh, screaming ad-libs from her previous album, Beatopia, contrast largely with the overall tenderness of “Glue Song.” One could say that the uplifting song is a testament to Laus’ newfound happiness with her flowering relationship and steadily rising career.

Lyrically, “Glue Song” can be interpreted many different ways. Either a heart feel the same crush-like love as when they first met. This lyrical versatility is what struck Laus’ new single as an immediate hit on social media. With its unique, Beabadoobee-esque sound and Laus’ addictive voice, it’s difficult to listen to this short two minute love song without hitting the repeat button at least once.

“My favorite love song I’ve written so far,” Bea writes on her instagram account, this message accompanied by loads of song makes you feel happy
