South London singer Lola Young shares the sixth single from her second studio album This Wasn't Meant For You Anyway (2024) on limiited 7" coloured vinyl. A viral moment on TikTok spurred the popularity of this plaintive single, billed by the artist as an "ADHD anthem" and reproof of her last relationship; the lyrics track Young's misgivings about a romance gone sour, critiquing the many contradictory "too"s used to justify a given lover's impropriety: "I'm too messy, I'm too clean... I'm too clever, I'm too dumb... I'm too perfect till I show you that I'm not..." The song is brow-beaten and bluesy, bearing the emotive scars of a fraught time, and perfectly capturing the indie minimality of pop in its ideal incarnation in 2025.
