Don't Think Too Much

About this Song

KAYLS TURNS A LATE-NIGHT ‘CRUSH’ INTO A BRIGHT, BOUNCY INDIE POP MOMENT ON ‘DON’T THINK TOO MUCH’ Eora-based singer-songwriter kayls continues to turn heads, introducing their next single Don’t Think Too Much, a bright indie-pop tune that dives into the world of falling for a love that was just a one-sided crush. Serving as the canonical sequel to their debut single ‘I Wanna Die’, kayls next single explores the comedown of falling head over heels for someone, and then realising it was more fantasy than love, all while quietly holding onto hope it could still change. Inspired by the indie-pop grit of RAGEFLOWER and jnr., the track pairs punchy, bright production with self-aware lyricism, landing as a hook-driven moment that captures both the clarity and contradiction of trying to move on. “It's actually part 2 of ‘I Wanna Die’ Although I wrote it before ‘I Wanna Die’, canonically it's a sequel/continuation of the story.” Originally sparked in 2023 as a demo titled ‘favourite person’ with Logan Stone, the song came from that first real moment of realising the person kayls was obsessed with was never going to feel the same. Revisiting it in a 2025 session with jnr., what once felt a little too raw and dated was reworked into something new, pulling through the strongest melodies and ideas to become ‘Don’t Think Too Much’. Following the releases of ‘I Wanna Die’ and ‘moon song’, which both saw support from triple j and triple j Unearthed, alongside spins on 2SER, 4ZZZ, JOY 94.9 and FBi Radio, and support slots for Miya Zawa, Worm Girlz and Sophie Edwards, ‘Don’t Think Too Much’ continues kayls’ unfiltered approach to songwriting, centring big feelings, honesty and emotional oversharing while carving out a space for listeners who feel too much and struggle to put it into words.
