Tove Lo Releases New Track ‘I like you.’

Following several SOLD OUT DIRT FEMME headline shows and appearances at Hangout Festival and BottleRock Festival, internationally acclaimed, multi-platinum selling, GRAMMY® nominated artist Tove Lo returns today with a brand-new track, ‘I like u.’

Speaking about the track, Tove Lo reveals, “I wanted to make another dance song that sonically felt like a nod to 90’s and Y2K dance music. I wrote this song with Timfromthehouse, we worked on it for months in between tours to figure the perfect arrangement. It’s not the usual pop structure but it’s perfect for this song, I think. Lyrically I’m telling the story of my thoughts the first time I saw the love of my life. They’re not clean but at least I never said any of them out loud.”

Tove will be donating a portion of her streaming proceeds from ‘I like u’ to The Trevor Project, the leading suicide prevention org for LGBTQ young people. For more information please visit www.thetrevorproject.org.

‘I like u’ follows the release of ‘DIRT FEMME (Stripped)’, a new 7-track EP featuring raw and emotionally stripped back versions of tracks from Tove Lo’s critically acclaimed fifth studio album, DIRT FEMME, which includes fan favorites like ‘No One Dies From Love,’ ‘Suburbia,’ ‘Pineapple Slice,’ and ‘Grapefruit,’ plus a vulnerable new version of her latest release, ‘Borderline.’
