Toronto duo Chrome Daphne return with “Stuck (On You),” a hazy and bittersweet meditation on yearning, attachment, and the quiet ache of not being able to let go. Drifting on lush harmonies and hypnotic grooves, the track captures romantic melancholy with a dreamlike intimacy. “I had a relationship that ended very abruptly,” shares Ben. “We went from best friends to complete strangers overnight. There was a lot left unsaid, and I kept catching myself thinking ‘What if I ran into her?’… Eventually, that anxiety started colouring my day-to-day life.”
“There’s this interesting duality of love, obsession, and self-entrampment,” Ben continues. “There’s sweetness in the devotion, but also pain in the inability to move on. Parts of this song feel like a diary entry – I like the honesty and the vulnerability. It feels like I’m in the room with my therapist.” Chris brings that emotional tension to life through layered production that mirrors the push and pull at the song’s core. “It feels like trying to reach someone through fogged glass,” Ben adds. “There’s this cocoon-like warmth in the harmony, especially when the chorus hits.” Following earlier releases “There,” “Little Bit,” and “Location,” the new single further sharpens Chrome Daphne’s late-night, introspective voice.
