Conan Gray, Killing Me | Song Review 🎵

The talented Conan Gray continues his consistent track record of marvelous singles with “Killing Me,” which is fueled by L-O-V-E.

“Now you’re tossin’ a rock 🪨 at my windowpane 🪟 / Said, ‘I don’t wanna talk, just go away’ / But you claw at the locks 🔒 ‘til I let you invade.” Those are some emotionally driven lyrics, 🎙 Conan Gray. Of course, Conan is renowned for honest lyricism, as well as his magnificent voice.  His looks don’t hurt either – just throwing that out there 😍.  Gray is back with another single in the year of our Lord, 2023, 🎵 “Killing Me”. He penned “Killing Me” alongside elite, super producers 🎛 Max Martin and Oscar Holter.  The results are incredibly positive despite the fact that the talented musician finds himself being killed.

Thematically, matters of the heart ❤️ dominate “Killing Me.” Conan Gray is in pain – love pain! Oh, the plight! “I love you bad, that’s the problem occurrin’,” he sings in the first verse, continuing, “Better love I deserve, and I’m hurtin’ / But sadly, I worship every moment we meet.” So relatable! Ultimately, in the chorus, where the tempo picks up, and the kick-@$$ groove kicks in, he makes it clear his lover is killing him, yet, despite this, “I can’t let go of your heart ❤️.” It all comes to head in the bridge, where he asserts, “I wanna die, but you keep me alive /… Fight to survive, oh, love of my life / You’re killing me.” Dramatic! The ear candy is decadent AF on 🎵 “Killing Me”, period. High-flying vocals, tuneful melodies, stellar production, and relatable songwriting make this joint right here a surefire bop.
