Speaking about the new track, Kieran says, "The hook just came to me and it refused to leave! I brought it to the boys the next day and it all came together in the first jam. They say the best tunes come easy and this felt like one of those for us.
"There's a bit of mystery around the lyrics that makes this song different from our previous releases - it’s got that femme fatale vibe. Who is this admirer? Is she a real obsession, or could she be a Catfish? It leaves you wondering - are you gonna run and hide, or give in to her charms?"
