Tove Lo has released her new single ‘I like u’ – you can hear the track and read NME‘s latest interview with the Swedish artist below.‘I like u’ follows on from Tove Lo’s fifth album ‘Dirt Femme’, which arrived in October 2022, and her recent single ‘Borderline’, which was co-written with Dua Lipa.Speaking to NME about her latest track, Tove Lo said that she wanted “to make another song that was in the vein of the ‘90s [and] Y2K-era dance music” that similarly inspired her previous single ‘2 Die 4’. Working with producer Timfromthehouse – who previously worked with Tove Lo on several tracks on ‘Dirt Femme’ – on the song between tours, she explained that the producer “worked on the track without me for a long time” before eventually finding “the perfect way to make the melodies shine, and dared to make it not the classic pop arrangement”.“We tried a bunch of different ways, and I was just like, ‘No, this is the way – it needs to be this epic dance moment before you get the chorus melody,’” she added to NME of the tune’s untraditional structure.Further inspired by “what was going through my head” the first time she ever saw her husband, Tove Lo said that she views ‘I like u’ as being part of the ‘Dirt Femme’ world: “Obviously it’s going more in the direction of the dance stuff I’ve done, but I still think it ties into what I’ve been writing about on this album.”Asked if ‘I like u’ might feature on a future re-release of ‘Dirt Femme’, Tove Lo replied: “The deluxe [version] is coming, it’s just, like, [going to be] a little bit later.

There’s no coming back from that,” he explained, adding that he was stopped from climbing the railing by Scott Nicholson, who played Colin.“I tried to go into the water after we cut — I got up from that bench and went as fast as I could over the barrier and onto the pilings, and the actor playing Colin raced over,” he said.
