Adam Kenyon - “Fool For You” is basically about thinking you’ve found something real, like, things feel good at first, you’re vibing, and you slowly start to let your guard down. But then it turns out that the other person isn’t in it for the right reasons. You open up to them about your past, your heartbreaks, stuff that really hurt and they act like they get it, like they care. But they end up using all of that against you. The chorus is that moment of, “Damn, I really went back to this person… again.” It’s about being mad at yourself for not seeing it, and wondering how you ended up getting treated like that when you were just trying to be honest. Sound-wise, it starts with this eerie little music box that sets the tone, kind of creepy, kinda pretty, and that melody keeps coming back throughout. Then the verses get heavier, more frustrated, and it all builds into these big, emotional choruses. There’s this gritty energy to it, but also a kinda dreamy 80s synth feel woven in too. It’s a whole journey."
