IAN SWEET is back with a new single called ‘FIGHT’. Following last year’s ‘f*ckthat’, the track arrives with an accompanying video directed by Lucy Sandler. Watch and listen below.
Talking about the new song in a press release, Jilian Medford said: “Spending everyday with someone, doing everything together, not knowing if the world was going to end. Leaning on someone with such heaviness, putting our entire weight and being onto each other because it’s all we had. The song plays into both the monotony of the relationship and the catastrophe that I went through after it ended. I felt so content in the relationship but then my entire world fell apart when it ended and I didn’t know how to pick myself back up and move forward.”
Sandler added: “I can only describe making ‘FIGHT’ as a true celebration, a giant family affair. By the end of the day all our friends became friends, the bar owners were taking shots with everyone, and Jilian got to crowd surf which made me tear up because she was so happy. I just wanted to capture the rawness and excited vulnerability that comes with a karaoke performance.”
‘FIGHT’ is set to appear on a forthcoming EP called Star Stuff. Medford released her third studio album as IAN SWEET, Show Me How You Disappear, last year via Polyvinyl.
