Lucky Iris’ latest single ‘i guess i like you (a lot)’ is a sparkling burst of hyperpop-infused synth-pop that showcases the Leeds-based duo’s undeniable talent for crafting infectious and danceable tracks. This energetic tune, taken from their upcoming EP, Something To Believe In, released via EMI North and Launchpad+, is a perfect blend of fizzing synths, driving electronic bass, and a relentless four-to-the-floor beat. The high-energy soundscape provides a striking contrast to Maeve’s soft, sweet vocals, creating melodies that linger long after the song ends.

Drawing inspiration from hyperpop pioneers like Charli XCX, Lucky Iris captures the exhilarating and slightly delirious feeling of having a crush. Maeve’s lyrics convey the all-consuming joy and lightness that comes with infatuation, as she playfully explores the difference between liking someone and “like liking” them. The production of ‘i guess i like you (a lot)’ is polished yet brimming with Lucky Iris’ distinctive alt-pop charm. Mixed by Richard Wilkinson (Adele, Amy Winehouse) and mastered by Antony Ryan (Oh Wonder, Sugababes), the track is a sonic masterpiece. With national TV appearances and widespread radio play, ‘i guess i like you (a lot)’ is a shining example of Lucky Iris’ growing reputation in the alt-pop world.

“My girlhood crushes were distinctively differentiated from friendships on the grounds of whether I liked them, or if I like liked them. BIG difference. HUGE! It’s that sickly sweet daydream like fantasy. That slightly delirious feeling of the joy of what could be. Have you ever felt so in crush with someone, that seeing them can completely de-rail your day? But in a good way! It’s so all-consuming that everything that was feeling difficult and heavy suddenly feels lighter and brighter. Because if I like like you, I’m going to tell you! And then everyone else! But who cares when you’re in crush!”
