Why Do I Feel Like I Stole It

Coupdekat “Superglue”

“Superglue” does a nice trick of contrasting a very simple and obvious chorus about having a powerful crush with verses that put this pure ecstatic feeling in the context of guilt, economic status, and family dynamics. By the second time Coupdekat hits the chorus it sounds the same but feels much different, with lines about “I don’t know what to do” and “I’m stuck to you” seeming more helpless and frustrated than joyful or playful. The ambivalence carries through the rest of the song, with her sounding like she doesn’t quite know how to process any of this but fully invested in the thrill of it whether it turns out to be a good or bad thing.
