JENNIE & Dominic Fike, Love Hangover | Song Review

Pop  singer JENNIE and alternative musician Dominic Fike collaborate on the fun, ‘just can’t call it quits’ single, “Love Hangover.”

“We say it’s over (uh) / But I keep fucking with you (Yeah) / And every time I do, I wake up with this love hangover.” Wow, JENNIE. They say, ‘honesty is the best policy,’ and the pop singer is honest AF throughout “Love Hangover”.  She collaborates with the talented Dominic Fike on this single, where ending a relationship for good doesn’t happen. When she says, “I keep fucking with you,” she’s not lying! Fike, Blaise Railey, Cary Gibert, Devin Workman, Ido Zmishlany, and Megan Bülow penned “Love Hangover.” JENNIE and Ido Zmishlany produced it.

“Love Hangover” runs a respectable three minutes long. The groove and instrumental riffs are incredibly funky.  The bass line is the sugar honey iced tea.  An uncertain JENNIE excels with her breathy, upper register, and sexy vocals.  “Fight me, fight me, fight me / You made me so unlike me,” she sings in the first verse, adding, “I don’t really mind when you play me / Wanna switch it up, go crazy / I ain’t gonna leave ‘til you hate me.” Wow.  Interestingly, the melody has some bluesy moments, which are C-O-O-L. Dominic raps instead of singing, spitting ‘real talk’:

“I had woke up in a daze, my sweat was cold, my lip was cracked

I can’t leave this bitch, I had to single, double triple back

She gon’ leave me, but she wants to keep me on, what’s up with that?”

The chorus, excerpted at the top, is quite catchy, speaking to them continuing to be tethered. Even though it is somewhat quirky, “Love Hangover” is an enjoyable, fun song by JENNIE and Dominic Fike. This is a song that gets better with each listen.
