beabadoobee - Apple Cider
[Verse 1]
We both like apple cider
But your hair be smelling like fruit punch
And I don't even like you that much
Wait, I do, fuck
[Chorus]
Call me at midnight
Let's give this thing a try
[Verse 2]
You said you liked my hair
So go ahead and touch it
You said you liked the jumper I wore
So I always wore it
It's really nice to talk to you
It's really nice to hold your hand
It's really nice to talk to you
It's really nice to hold your hand
And even if we're just friends
We could be more than that
And even if we're just friends
We could be more than that
[Chorus]
So call me at midnight
Let's give this thing a try
‘Apple Cider’ is about the fun part of infactuation and falling in love — including the goosebumps and excitement of a crush. ‘Apple Cider’ is the type of song you're playing while you're getting ready or when lost in a daydream. It has an infectious melody that’s instantly good for the soul and will leave you with a smile. "I wanted this song to represent the innocence of love, how a tiny crush can leave someone in denial and a little confused. I wanted a guitar sound that reminded me of Sonic Youth because they’re a band I listen to when I’m in a good mood, and that’s exactly when I wanted people to listen to the song – when they’re happy and just wanna dance. Also, I wanted the melody of the song to remind me of Pavement, another one of my favourite bands. My best friend Eliana helped shout at the end of the track, we get pretty crazy together." - Beabadoobee (Billboard Interview)
