Queer artist Déyyess has released her new single “Claire” via London-based indie label Common Knowledge. This latest track blends a dreamy yet grungy indie-rock vibe, featuring Déyyess’ delicate vocals paired with thoughtful, introspective lyrics. Produced by her frequent collaborator Bluegirl, “Claire” dives deep into the emotional complexities of unrequited love, particularly within women-loving-women relationships.
“Claire” is a deeply personal track for Déyyess, drawing from her own experiences. The song explores the intense emotions that come with being in love with someone who cannot return those feelings. According to Déyyess, the single is about “the all-consuming and gut-wrenching feelings that come with being in love with a straight girl.”
The lyrics depict the frustration of loving a best friend who is romantically unavailable, which is captured in the chorus: “you just go round in my head, and I feel like you don’t even care.” The song effectively conveys the pain of unrequited love, a theme that resonates with many listeners.
The release of “Claire” has already gained significant traction online, especially on TikTok, where audio snippets of the song have been viewed over 7 million times. Fans have embraced the song’s narrative, using it to share their own experiences of unrequited love. This online buzz has helped build anticipation for the full release, as listeners connect with the universal emotions expressed in the track.
As Déyyess continues to explore the themes of unrequited love and queer relationships, “Claire” sets the stage for what’s to come. The track is expected to be a pivotal part of her upcoming debut EP, as she continues to share her story through music and reaches an ever-growing audience.
