If you have been on TikTok lately, you might have heard a catchy song with the lyrics “Sometimes all I think about is you, late nights in the middle of June<\/em>“. The song is called Heat Waves by Glass Animals<\/a>, a British experimental rock band that has been making waves in the music industry with their unique sound and style. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But what is the story behind this viral hit? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

How did it go from being a personal song about loss and longing to a global anthem of nostalgia and romance?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here is everything you need to know about Glass Animals\u2019 Heat Waves lyrics and their journey to the top charts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Origin of Heat Waves<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Heat Waves is the fourth single from Glass Animals\u2019 third studio album, Dreamland, which was released in August 2020. The song was written and produced by the band\u2019s frontman, Dave Bayley, who also plays guitar, keyboards, and drums. Bayley said that he wrote the song in just an hour, late at night, while playing around with his guitar. He said that he was feeling nostalgic and reflective, as he had lost someone close to him whose birthday was in June. He also said that he was inspired by the heat waves that were happening in London at the time, which made him feel like he was “swimming in a mirror”.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The song is about being unable to get over a relationship that has ended but also accepting that it was for the best. Bayley sings from the perspective of someone who still thinks about their ex-lover but also realises that they need a better life than he can offer. He also acknowledges that he has lost touch with himself, as he is so caught up in his memories and emotions. He sings:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You just need a better life than this. You need something I can never give Fake water all across the road It\u2019s gone now the night has come but You can\u2019t fight it You can\u2019t breathe You say something so loving but Now I\u2019ve got to let you go<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The chorus of the song repeats the hook “sometimes all I think about is you, late nights in the middle of June<\/em>“, which has become a popular phrase on TikTok and other social media platforms. The line captures the feeling of missing someone who was once a part of your life, especially during the summer months when everything seems more romantic and carefree. The song also features a psychedelic pop sound that blends elements of R&B, pop rock, and hip hop, creating a contrast between the upbeat melody and the melancholy lyrics.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n
