Still, it’s one of those things that we all think about and Mitski sings compellingly about the complicated emotion here.
It’s a love song but it’s still a Mitski love song - and in this one, she’s writing about a love that will consume her to the point where she’s unrecognizable, where she’s wholly lost her identity (a desire that any decent therapist will inform you is toxic and definitely unhealthy).
Thematically, “Love Me More” fits right alongside these iconic standout cuts from Mitski’s catalog.
#I need you more lyrics full
Each of her last albums had one: “Your Best American Girl” from Puberty 2, which involved her wanting to change herself for the object of her desires “Townie” from Bury Me At Makeout Creek, which featured the iconic and maybe disturbing line, “I want a love that falls as fast/ As a body from the balcony ” and “Nobody” from Be The Cowboy, whose upbeat sound belied lyrics full of loneliness and feeling undesirable. Since Mitski began rolling out the singles for Laurel Hell in 2021, beginning with the solemn and stark “Working For The Knife,” the eventual arrival of her latest dispatch on her trials in love was inevitable. Ahead of the release of her new album Laurel Hell, the acclaimed indie singer-songwriter has shared her fourth pre-album single, “Love Me More,” a frenetic, racing synth-pop track that hits all of above boxes, and continues her lineage of crafting turbulent love anthems that might, at times, make you worried for her well-being.
When it comes to writing pining, desperate, and ultimately tragic love songs, no one does it like Mitski.
