… Read Full Bio ↴“Cutie” is an upbeat love song that marks COIN’s first release of 2022.
The title refers to a common brand name for clementines, a type of orange. Though it does not appear in the song’s lyrics, the reoccurring term of endearment “tangerine,” which is also an orange, is heard in the chorus.
“Cutie” was first teased by frontman Chase Lawrence’s Instagram on January 4, 2022 where he shared an eight-second snippet. The band’s page officially announced its release three weeks later. Chase commented on this post “Track 3”, appearing on their studio album Uncanny Valley.
“Three versions of us exist at all times – the actual, superficial, & digital. These identities are always changing, each one informing the other. How can we know which is even ‘real’? How can I expect to limit someone to the context of my own self-awareness? ‘Cutie’ zooms in on control, change, and confusion. On a lighter note, the song is about AI tasting a tangerine for the first time. Throw the ingredients in the musical blender.“

Coin Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Like it won't stop (no way around it)
Every night with you is
The cherry on top (how do I live without it?)
Stars get a little bit crossed
And wires get tangled in the dark
Can't hold on to the light
But I swear we've still got time
'Cause you'll always be my
Tangerine
On my mind forever
Got me spinning between now and never
Tangerine
We go so good together
A lot can happen between now and never
Woke up in your orbit
Now where do I start? (No way around it)
With gravity like that
Oh, how did I get so far?
Yeah, you should know that
Stars get a little bit crossed
And wires get tangled in the dark
Can't hold on to the light
I got a little bit lost
But I swear we've still got time
'Cause you'll always be my
Tangerine
On my mind forever
Got me spinning between now and never
Tangerine
We go so good together
A lot can happen between now and never
Doo-doo-doo-doo (tangerine)
Doo-doo-doo-doo (you'll always be my)
Doo-doo-doo-doo (tangerine)
Doo-doo-doo-doo
Is there something I could say?
Something I could do?
'Cause you'll always be my
Something in my brain
Telling me it's true
You'll always be my
Tangerine
On my mind forever
Got me spinning between now and never
Tangerine
We go so good together (good together)
A lot can happen between now and never (yeah, yeah, woo, woo)
Doo-doo-doo-doo (tangerine)
Doo-doo-doo-doo (you'll always be my)
Doo-doo-doo-doo (tangerine)
Doo-doo-doo-doo (you'll always be my)
