MUNA have released Anything But Me as the latest single from their forthcoming eponymous album.
The indie-pop trio’s ‘throwback track is about stepping away from a relationship as soon as it stops serving you.
“Breaking up is hard to do. In the past we’ve stayed in relationships for a long time, waiting until we hit low lows to admit it was over,” they said. Anything But Me is a song about leaving a partnership simply because it doesn’t feel right.
“It’s about trusting yourself and your instincts enough to walk away from someone while you still have love for each other and before it gets too bad.”
Alongside the track, they released a music video which “plays with the idea that we’ve been our own captors in relationships, keeping ourselves in unhealthy dynamics, maybe because that’s what feels familiar.
“The song embodies the lightness and a playfulness that floods in when you realise that there’s no lock on the door, no one’s holding you back — you can untie the knot and skip into the sunset whenever you’re ready.
“Now, who can guess what attachment style I have?”
MUNA’s eponymous third album is released June 24 and available to pre-order now.
