“Said fuck this town and like everyone in it!” Gah-day-um, 🎙 glaive and 🎙 ericdoa! The duo doesn’t mince words – particularly f-bombs – in their single, 🎵 “fuck this town”. “Fuck this town” appeared as the eighth and final track on their 2021 EP, 💿 then I’ll be happy. Clearly on this fierce pop cut, which incorporates numerous styles, this town is NOT it! Neither are some of the town folk, specifically an ex, it appears. Maybe the town is sus but the energy being served up by both artists is impressive by all means!

The first verse sets the tone.  “I turn my home into a ghost town,” ericdoa asserts, with glaive responding, “Maybe that’s why every single person going ghost now.”  Perhaps, perhaps. Trading lines, the duo continues, “I’ve been working too hard, why the fuck would I slow down? / People only care about you when it’s about to go down.” Well, they have a point, right? The fierceness remains potent in the second verse, with ericdoa depicting a defunct relationship while glaive reflects on fakeness: “Remember three months ago, they didn’t care when I talked /… And I’m never coming back, because…” As entertaining as the verses are, the centerpiece is the chorus where the fuckery goes down, apparently for good reason.  The boys bite:

“Said fuck this town and like everyone in it

Say you’re mad at me, I’m just minding my business

She wanna dance with the devil but won’t pay him a visit

I bet I’ll see him soon ‘cause the way that I’m living.”
