It’s one thing to feel like you’re someone’s second choice, but it’s another to know you’ve become their second option right before your own eyes. At that point, you wish you could send them off somewhere far away… perhaps Paris?
LA-based singer Gatlin’s new single “Paris” showcases the captivating songwriting she’s been been perfecting over the past few years. While listeners are met with bright and breezy melodies, the lyrics convey pain and resentment from a relationship that was hanging on by a thread.
Gatlin says, “’Paris’ is a song I wrote about a very niche situation I was in – dating a long time friend who was in love with their ex-girlfriend who lived in Paris throughout their relationship. I wrote it at a time of being fed up with feeling always second to her and how I wish they would just get on a plane to Paris, go be with her, and leave me alone. It has an undertone of anger, so I definitely wanted the production to bring lots of energy to the track.”
“Paris” is a true indie pop gem, and the song arrives ahead of Gatlin’s upcoming EP I Sleep Fine Now. Check out the music video below, shot in front of some famous scenery in Las Vegas.
