Hailing from Stuttgart, BUNT. was formed by Levi Wijk and Nico Crispin, high school friends who teamed up at the age of 16 to craft dance anthems inspired by Swedish House Mafia. Taking SHM's propulsive festival house approach and enriching it with folksy elements like banjos and harmonicas, they adopted a style strikingly similar to Avicii's on early tracks such as 2014's "Journey" and "Harmonica." BUNT.'s subsequent 2016 output "Old Guitar" and "Coming Home" sounded like Of Monsters and Men or Mumford & Sons spun with an EDM twist, while "Young Hearts" was infused with saxophone. By 2018, Celtic music tones found their way into "On My Way" and "Little Secrets."
With nearly a dozen tracks building a wide audience by the end of the decade, the pair signed with Geffen and made their label debut with 2019's "Oh My Other." Teaming with Seattle R&B band the Dip, they followed with the earthy "Sure Don't Miss You." Borrowing Buena Vista Social Club's Omara Portuondo's "Tiene Sabor," they added Latin flair to their repertoire with that summer's "Cuba (Tiene Sabor)." Moving to Interscope, BUNT. released several singles in 2020, including the Avicii tribute "Crocodile Tears" (featuring Jens Hult), "Unbreakable" (featuring Clarence Coffee, Jr.), and "Nights Like That" (with Georgia Ku). In 2021, BUNT. released "Out of Time" (with Diviners and Tom Bailey) and "Hurricane" (featuring Hon & SMBDY). Crispin announced his departure from BUNT. in May of that year, and Wijk continued using the name as a solo artist.

Tell me why, oh, why you left
Lit a fire in my head
Tell me why, oh, why you left
'Cause when I'm gone
I'm gonna tell you why
When I'm gone, I'm gonna tell you why
When I'm gone, I'm gonna tell you
'Bout my other lover you never wrote to me
And oh, my other you never wrote
Oh, my other you never called for me
And oh, my other
Never let me go, oh woah oh oh oh
Never let me go, oh oh oh oh
Cut me out and pull the thread
Tell me something sweet instead
These old flowers faded red
Why come back and leave again?
'Cause when I'm gone
I'm gonna tell you why
When I'm gone, I'm gonna tell you why
When I'm gone, I'm gonna tell you why
When I'm gone, I'm gonna tell you
'Bout my other love you never wrote to me
And oh, my other you never wrote
Oh, my other you never called for me
And oh, my other
I am sideways
Counting down to the mess you made
Well, it's somehow too late
'Cause when I'm gone
I'm gonna tell you why
When I'm gone, I'm gonna tell you why
When I'm gone, I'm gonna tell you why
When I'm gone, I'm gonna tell you
Never let me go, oh woah oh oh oh
Never let me go, oh oh oh oh
The lyrics of BUNT.'s song "Oh My Other" depict a sense of confusion and heartbreak in a relationship. The singer is longing for answers and closure from their partner, who has left them. The first verse portrays a feeling of abandonment, as the singer questions why they were left behind while igniting a fire within their mind. The repetition of "tell me why, oh, why you left" emphasizes their need for understanding and closure.
The chorus reveals a sense of determination from the singer. Although they have been left behind, they claim that when they are gone, they will tell their partner why. This suggests that they have come to terms with the fact that they may never receive an explanation or apology from their loved one. The reference to their "other lover" implies that their partner had been unfaithful or had divided their attention.
In the second verse, the singer pleads for something sweet instead of being cut out or ignored. The mention of "old flowers faded red" symbolizes a dying love and the pain of the relationship ending. However, their partner keeps coming back and leaving again, keeping the cycle of heartbreak alive.
The bridge adds a sense of frustration and resignation. The singer is caught "sideways," feeling the weight of the mess that their partner has caused. The realization that it may be too late to salvage the relationship is expressed with the line, "Well, it's somehow too late."
Overall, "Oh My Other" explores the aftermath of a broken relationship, the longing for answers, and the struggle to let go.

In your garden, in your bed
I was fully immersed in your world, embracing the intimacy we shared
Tell me why, oh, why you left

Lit a fire in my head
You ignited a passionate and intense desire within me
Tell me why, oh, why you left
Once again, I beg for an explanation regarding your departure
'Cause when I'm gone
Because when I am no longer here
I'm gonna tell you why
I will reveal the reasons behind my absence

I will confide in you about the existence of another person with whom I share a romantic connection, and how you never communicated about this
And oh, my other you never wrote
Oh, my other lover, you never expressed yourself through writing
Oh, my other you never called for me
Oh, my other lover, you never reached out to me
And oh, my other
And oh, my other lover
Never let me go, oh woah oh oh oh
You never allowed our relationship to continue, oh woah oh oh oh
Never let me go, oh oh oh oh
You never allowed our relationship to continue, oh oh oh oh
Cut me out and pull the thread
You severed our connection and removed the ties that held us together
Tell me something sweet instead
Instead, offer me pleasant words to soothe the pain caused by your actions
These old flowers faded red
The once vibrant flowers symbolizing our love have now withered away and lost their vitality
Why come back and leave again?
Why did you return only to depart once more?
'Cause when I'm gone
Because when I am no longer here
I'm gonna tell you why
I will reveal the reasons behind my absence

Counting down to the mess you made
Anticipating the chaos and turmoil caused by your actions
Well, it's somehow too late
Regrettably, it appears that it is now too late to rectify the situation

Because when I am no longer here
I'm gonna tell you why
I will reveal the reasons behind my absence
When I'm gone, I'm gonna tell you why

When I'm gone, I'm gonna tell you why
Once I am no longer present, I will explain my departure
When I'm gone, I'm gonna tell you
Once I am no longer present, I will inform you

Never let me go, oh oh oh oh
You never allowed our relationship to continue, oh oh oh oh

(Bunt Run Run in the forest)
Today I woke up I left my bed I went out very fast to be able to go to a forest without a doubt it was beautiful just as it looked long
Beautiful mountains to then Run Run Run on the road and reach my destination to follow Run Run Run in the forest
Oh oh oh oh Run Run Run the forest
Oh Oh Oh Oh Run Run Run In The Woods
I continued my way more to the bottom of the forest I noticed a wonderful world to which I was amazed and I gave it to be able to be
In the most calm of the whole world
Oh oh oh Run Run Run in the woods
Oh oh oh Run Run Run in the woods
¿What do you think If you want,? you can make improvements

Teh background photo with the music makes me feel free and positive, makes me think of hiking, beautiful scenery, roadtrips, that I can do anything in life. I've always been a fan of folk music, it calms my soul, and hiking makes me feel very free.
