The fact that it’s solely written by Lily makes it even better. Shout out to both Different girl and Heavy Serenade as well!
Here’s the song if you haven’t heard it yet: [LOUD]
LAURA SIRIKUL: This album is a declaration of love, but one really resonated with me – “Loud,” because it is a revelation of love. Lily, you had a part in writing this song (as well as “Crescendo”). I feel many in the queer community will resonate with this song.
The lyrics, “Don’t tell me to shh, ’cause you know I gotta let it out // I wanna love you loud, I wanna love you loud // Gorgeous, Gorgeous girls // Gorgeous boys,” reminded me of Little Mix’s “Secret Love Song Pt. 2,” which became a queer anthem. “Loud” could be the next queer anthem. I know you don’t need to be queer to feel this emotion. Everyone can resonate. What can you tell me about this song?
LILY: I’m really glad that it resonated with you. I really do hope it becomes a song that resonates with anyone who listens, because you’re so right. I’m sure a lot of people can relate to the lyrics. I was really reminded of that Little Mix song while I was writing it. I was aiming for an overall message that I hope many people can relate to. Forbidden love. [It is] sad that you have this love that’s so big and that you want to tell the whole world, but you can’t because of circumstances.
It’s not just NMIXX that would relate to that feeling; there are lots of people in the world. I really hate that it’s a reality for so many people. I do hope the song can offer some respite to people going through anything like that. It’s just a celebration of all kinds of love. It doesn’t have to be sad because it’s a beautiful thing in itself to love someone that loudly.
