Butterflies

About the Artist

Australian indie-pop sensation merci, mercy today makes her commanding return with new single and video, 'Butterflies'. To celebrate, merci, mercy has announced a single launch show at Sydney’s Golden Age on Saturday 3 October. Tickets are on sale now! ‘Butterflies’ captures the initial surge of falling in love for the first time - that exciting anticipation of discovering someone who makes your world feel brighter. Exploring the delicate blending of identities in a relationship, the single serves as a reminder that the best kind of love lets you grow without losing who you are. Written across two days in the studio with long-time producer Robby De Sá, the track seamlessly bridges merci, mercy’s present with her songwriting roots—anchored by opening lyrics drawn directly from a song she wrote as a 16-year-old. "’Butterflies’ was just one of those songs that came together real easy," shares merci, mercy. "The first two lyrics were from an original song I wrote when I was 16, the rest was all magic created in Robby's studio over two studio days. It’s about falling in love with someone for the first time and how euphoric it feels, but also how that intense feeling can make you lose sight of yourself. “ “I love how the song turned out and, as per usual, I’m grateful that Robby pushed me to try out things I haven't before vocally and lyrically."
