save for later’s debut rock single, “Treating Me Bad,” is a delightful blend of dreamy guitar riffs, upbeat drums, and charming vocals that will have you hooked from the first chord. Hailing from Brooklyn, this pop duo delivers a feel-good energy that is both refreshing and infectious.
“Treating Me Bad” kicks off with shimmering, fuzzy guitar riffs that pleasantly surprise you like a hit of fresh air on a breezy spring day. As the drums pick up the pace, the song comes replete with a soothing trail of violin touching the instrumental with subtle warmth, creating a lush soundscape that invites you to get lost in the music.
The singer also steals the show with his golden retriever-energy, mounting the song with an innate cuteness. His youthful, charming voice exudes a sense of hopefulness and insouciance, perfectly complementing the dreamy vibe of the music.
With a straightforward delivery and a touch of confusion in his heart, he unsuccessfully navigates the paradoxes of his relationship, returning to square one each time. With lines like “You say you’re happy just to feel sad” and “Oh, let me steal your heart back,” the song strikes a perfect balance between vulnerability and optimism. However, the chorus is a catchy earworm you’ll find yourself singing along to in no time.
save for later comes out strong with “Treating Me Bad” while relating hard to the rest of us still confused in love. Stay tuned with the duo for more effortless hits.
