'A Song You Won’t Forget' is about the memories we carry with us from one place to the next, the rituals we did with friends, the playlists that soundtrack the lives of people we see and never speak to. It’s about the small moments we don’t see happening at the time, and a year later you hear a song and you’re immediately back, but you’re a bit different and it’s like looking through a window into a past moment. 

This song is for friendships and the cities where we become more ourselves, it’s a song for queer love and for understanding ourselves more. A purple nostalgia in a big, rainy city. 

A SONG YOU WON'T FORGET

‘Nonsense’ is solid and energetic and raises many questions by confronting the blindness of being in a toxic relationship. Despite the painful origin of the meaning and message of the song, ‘Nonsense’ sounds bright, bouncy, and powerful, serving practically as a positive anthem for Luan when they wrote it.

Originally written by Luan between leaving their hometown of Madrid and moving to Brighton at 18, while being in a tumultuous relationship, a lot was happening at that precise moment. It is one of their earliest songs in their catalogue, and it took its final shape after recording it in 2024 with the full band, and in which, also, for the first time, you can hear Luan’s saxophone, the latest addition to their signature sound.

‘Nonsense’ is the first track out of 4 of Luan Luan’s debut EP, recorded in Brighton (UK), mixed and mastered by Paul Winstanley, and planned to be released at the end of 2025.

‘Would Be Better’, a sequel that follows the story of their previous release,
‘Nonsense’. While the same unhealthy romantic relationship ties both songs together, ‘Would
Be Better’ unconsciously seeks an ending by questioning the possibility of a better reality.

It's dynamic and bright, embodying Luan’s high spirit and optimistic mindset
despite the circumstances under which it was created. It was the first song written by Luan in
Brighton, shortly after moving from Madrid, while being in a toxic relationship. The thought of
concluding that relationship, and the possibility of living a genuine and more joyous life,
directly manifests in the melodic side of the song, portraying a hopeful sound.

Would Be Better

A real love story between two queer people in summer, a poet and a musician. Their short but intense summer together allows them to discover a different perception of love and art, finding themselves freer being with each other, sharing their art with the world, and experiencing beautiful and delicate moments under the Spanish sun. When the summer ends, they have to part ways and will miss each other, but that summer will remain forever.

“I wrote 'Yellow' after I lived this experience, from a poem gifted to me called 'Del Verano' ('From Summer') - based on a real story. It explores themes of love, queer liberation, and the bittersweet feeling of a summer relationship ending as they have to go their separate ways,” shares Luan Luan.

Driven by shimmering indie-pop instrumentation and Luan’s smooth, expressive vocals, ‘Yellow’ offers more than just a catchy melody; it’s an expression of emotion and colour. Inspired by their experience of synaesthesia, a condition that allows them to perceive sound as colour, the track is designed to emulate the sound and feeling of the colour yellow - bright, warm, and full of light.

At its core, 'Northern Lights' is about finding freedom in nightlife, in clubs, as an escape from the daily struggles and social surveillance. It captures the feeling of dancing with the person that you are attracted to freely, between the colourful lights of the club (hence the ''northern lights'') where nothing else matters but the moment itself. A moment that enables a profound sense of freedom and self-expression on the dancefloor, without fear of judgment or harassment; a moment reserved only for the night. 'Northern Lights' is liberation, self-expression, attraction, community and joy.
