Olly Alexander Tries to Get Over a Dystopian Lover in the New 'If You're Over Me' Video
"This is a song about trying to stay friends with an ex. Spoiler alert—it doesn’t often work."
Olly Alexander's struggles to get over an ex in Years & Years' new, bubbly track, "If You're Over Me."
The visuals, released yesterday, are the second in a series of dystopian music videos set in a future metropolis called Palo Santo, where enslaved humans now entertain emotionless androids.
Alexander talked about the track with NME, saying, "This is a song about trying to stay friends with an ex. Spoiler alert—it doesn’t often work. In fact, in my experience, the relationship often ends up ruined."
He continued:
"'If You’re Over Me' is about the emotional torture that ensues—meeting up and making out, then breaking up all over again, then making out some more."
Watch "If You're Over Me" in the video below!
