On the release, Blow Pop mentioned, “‘Nobody’ is a song about desire. Desire to change, desire to love, desire to desire. Depending on how deep you dig, it could also be a song about the desire to desire desire. We wrote it with this theme in mind, given that we had been desiring to do so since we released our first single. Now we desire fame.”

’Nobody’ highlights a change. A change in style, and vibrance, this music is the future. Creating a colourful soundscape with no limitation’s, ‘Nobody’ searches for energy and finds it within it’s emotive lyrics.

A fierce dance track with electro-pop elements, this track’s aim is for you to forget about your problems and get lost in it’s mix.

It’s chord progression is elevating yet somewhere minor. Creating this tense feel for the track, ‘First Date’ is completely different from the traditional mainstream pop track’s out there at the moment. A theatrical experience, this rollercoaster ride single is a track that would instantly get you dancing with it’s infectious beat.
