Setting the tone with a cerebral, guitar soundscape with shooting, astral nuances and a dimensional bass line, before exploding into a fierce screamo-adjacent delivery of the title of the track, Love Ghost and Cinnamon Babe open Do You Like Me Now? with subversion and an assertive nature.
The opus expands with thought-provoking prose from Love Ghost‘s superstar lead singer Finnegan Bell, before switching up into a stripped back, emo pre-chorus. The hook is a captivating and empowering earworm, and we deeply connect with the ferocious passion that Finn delivers his message with.
Cinnamon Babe‘s verse feels consciously astute, oozing philosophical depth within an atmospheric vocal design and poetic prowess. The anthemic finale of the piece showcases an interwoven energy between Finnegan and Cinnamon Babe as they convey a holistic and cathartic conclusion to the song, which leaves us feeling fulfilled, and appreciating the overarching intention of the track.
The creators confess that Do You Like Me Now? is intended as an “alternative metal punch to the gut for the haters who want to destroy [us]”. The track itself is produced by the talented MIKE SUMMERS, who has previously worked with the likes of Tech N9ne, Kendrick Lamar, and Lil Wayne.
Do You Like Me Now? serves as a potent anthem, embodying resilience and defiance against the forces of adversity. Through its raw intensity and unapologetic lyrics, Do You Like Me Now? becomes a rallying cry for empowerment, emboldening us all to stand tall in the face of criticism and condemnation.
Its importance lies not only in its sonic impact but also in its ability to inspire self-assurance and solidarity among those of us who refuse to be silenced or diminished. In a world where voices are often stifled and individuality is challenged, this song stands as a defiant declaration of self-worth and defiance against the haters who seek to destroy.
