Taking shape as a playful break-up anthem, ‘Overdid It’ is a self-deprecating jam that touches on ‘overdoing it’ in a relationship. Japan, Man’s signature groovy alt-pop vibes lead the way as front woman Laeticia leans into the irony of the situation. The result is a charming and reflective final teaser ahead of debut album Metropolis. Sharing a little more Laeticia shares: “The song attempts to capture the embarrassment of overdoing it in a relationship, or situation-ship, especially with a rather complicated label.

“I think we all try to remove ourselves from the category of being an ‘emotional’ or ‘sensitive’ person these days. I think we all internalize this and try to be as unbothered and as nonchalant as possible, but we all end up forgetting how significant our tendencies to over-love, over-care, overcomplicate, and over feel really are when intimacy and romantic passion enters the picture, and that’s completely normal and definitely what I was feeling while writing the song.

“The song definitely carries sass and arrogance which was very fun for me to write, and sing, as most of my songs are more serious in tone when it comes to lyrics, but I was feeling particularly playful while writing this, and wanted to take a more ironic approach.”

The mesmerizing new single, ‘Nowhere to Hide’ was born from feeling overwhelmed and overstimulated with no quick fix in sight. Finding your feet in today’s world has never been harder, but Japan, Man is here to remind you that you are not alone.

Sharing more, Laeticia said: “In the midst of big and frightening emotions I think people, including myself, get tied up in the illusion that they are alone in the process of feeling these things, and that no one in the world could ever understand. Through the song I also want to emphasize the panic of being unable to escape negative emotions, and being trapped inside a feeling, routine, or bad habit. The thing I want people to take from the song is that feelings are big, and can feel like a tsunami of overstimulation, and all in all that is a human experience, and really, the human experience.”

Born from reflecting on her relationship with Lebanon, where she was born and bred, the new single is a stand-out coming of age moment from this special talent. Sharing more behind the song Japan, Man explains: “The song is basically written about my relationship with Lebanon, which is where I’m from and where I grew up. It also explores my relationship with being mixed, as I am British/Lebanese and don’t really feel like I belong or truly am anywhere, there’s just always a sensation of disassociation. That’s why that second verse clarified the emotion behind the song for me since a Cedar tree is the national symbol of Lebanon, representative of resilience and strength

“Feeling like you don’t belong or fit in isn’t really a bad thing, it just pushes you to grow into yourself, which ends up being so perfect and natural since you haven’t fallen in the trap of following social trends or cliques of people you don’t even like.”
