doomsday

“doomsday” was released as the first single for Lizzy McAlpine's sophomore studio album five seconds flat following her When The World Stopped Moving EP. Like many of her tracks, it is a breakup song.

The song was released alongside a music video. A grim and gifted retelling of heartbreak, “doomsday” is McAlpine’s latest work, and a story of a love that lies beneath the elms. McAlpine carries her heart and mind through a graphic retelling of heartbreak.

Lizzy has shared very little about the exact background of the song, and although not much explanation is needed, she did quote singer-songwriter, Ella Jane, saying:

"my ex (who "doomsday" is about) did this. red flags all over that one".

“This song is about being in a relationship that is so toxic that you know it’s doomed and preparing yourself for that eventuality. It’s heavy in funeral metaphors, because heartbreak to me is like a death.” - via Atwood Magazine
