My Life Story is back with a catchy and thought-provoking single, “I’m A God.” This track, set to release on August 30th, offers a glimpse into their signature style of epic pop paired with witty lyricism.
Despite the conceited title, “I’m A God” is not an exercise in arrogance but rather a clever exploration of the concept of divinity in today’s world. Frontman Jake Shillingford takes us on a lyrical journey where he says various deities, some more deserving of reverence than others. Through these verses, the song questions how the media often hastily confers divine status upon various subjects, prompting us to ponder if our inclination to worship false idols is an inherent part of our human nature.
Shillingford’s lyrical approach is characterized by its playfulness, akin to their previous hit “12 Reasons Why I Love Her.” In “I’m A God,” he creates a lyrical collage by placing real gods alongside false idols, which adds depth and contrast to the song’s thematic exploration.
The track’s production and arrangement are in line with My Life Story’s signature epic pop sound. It’s evident that they’ve honed their craft over the years, and “I’m A God” showcases their ability to create infectious melodies and memorable hooks.
As My Life Story readies for their fifth studio album, “I’m A God” serves as an enticing preview of what’s to come. With its clever lyrics and catchy pop sensibilities, it’s clear that My Life Story continues to be a force to be reckoned with in the world of pop music.
