Continuing her streak of releases this year, phem has now unveiled her latest song titled “IKEA”. You can check out the new song in the lyric video below.
Drawing inspiration from the renowned Swedish furniture retailer and a relationship that was falling apart, phem delves into the song’s context, saying, “I was building a life with them and furniture. We went to IKEA several times and enjoyed every minute of it. We would always run into random friends, usually accompanied by their partners… shopping for things to make them feel adult and equipped to be in their first ‘real adult relationship’.”
She goes on to explain the atmosphere inside IKEA: “Everyone in there is hopeful and ready for more… but the view is narrow. Playing house for the day and all the rooms make the future look so bright and easy. Yea… we passed the IKEA stress test, but we failed all the others.”
