However, it was the release of debut single ‘Glu’ in October last year that really made things happen – leading to an almost fully booked festival summer and an unexpected new fan in Elton John! In January, Norwegian music journalists and concert bookers also named her as the one they believe in the most for the year to come.

Following the superb single ‘Glu’, the rising jazz pop star and her 8-piece band now release a second track – the perfectly chilled ’25’. Led by Fieh’s soothing and heavenly vocals, the song presents a perfect combination of being both blissfully laid-back, and tantalisingly danceable.

Doyuwanna
Fieh Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I put you in that zone, my friend
Then you stopped caring
And then I started getting too
Conscious about stuff
Like what you're wearing
Like what your hair's like and your eyes
And now I hate goodbyes
Especially when millions of miles

Will part us friday when I hit the skies
And how I thought this really
Wasn't the situation at all
When I take seat on a high horse
We're talking forty feet tall
Then I should understand how many walls
Will break when I fall

Doyuwanna hang out with me
Sometime before I go?
And doyuwanna hang out with me
Sometime before I go?

I started feeling we should be
Guess that wasn't very nice of me
Summer child a year before me december 1993
The moon, the air, a cold city was the magic
But I told you don't touch
And ever since that day, my love
You haven't been saying too much
Thought we could be friends, we could
Be friendly, could show love
But not make it though
That's not how it works I guess
Just put on a music video

Doyuwanna hang out with me
Sometime before I go?
And doyuwanna hang out with me
Sometime before I go?
And doyuwanna hang out with me
Sometime before I go?

And doyuwanna and doyuwanna and
Doyuwanna and doyuwanna

Overall Meaning

In "Doyuwanna," Fieh navigates a complex emotional journey of longing for connection and understanding, yet feeling the weight of self-consciousness and distance. The song begins with the singer acknowledging their role in isolating their friend, putting them in a metaphorical "zone" where they stopped caring. This shift in the dynamics of their relationship sparks a sense of self-awareness in the singer, causing them to become overly conscious of external factors like their friend's appearance. They express a dislike for goodbyes, especially when they anticipate being physically separated by distance.

The second verse delves into the singer's conflicting emotions and desires. They confess their initial feelings of wanting to be with their friend, but also acknowledge their own shortcomings in their approach. The reference to the specific year of December 1993 suggests a personal connection or significance to that time. The singer describes a magical atmosphere created by the moon, air, and a cold city, but then reveals a moment of caution where they warned their friend not to touch. Since that incident, their friend has become more distant and less expressive. There is a hint of disappointment in the realization that their hopeful vision of friendship, love, and connection didn't unfold as expected, perhaps even influenced by unrealistic expectations set by media representations such as music videos.

The repeated refrain of "Doyuwanna hang out with me?" emphasizes the singer's persistent longing for companionship and human connection, urging their friend to spend time together before the singer departs. The repetition of the phrase adds a sense of pleading and vulnerability, as if they desperately seek validation and affirmation. Overall, the lyrics paint a poignant narrative of frustration, self-reflection, and a longing for genuine friendship.

Line by Line Meaning

I put you in that zone, my friend
I placed you in a specific emotional state, my friend

Then you stopped caring
Subsequently, you lost interest and stopped showing concern

And then I started getting too conscious about stuff
Afterwards, I began becoming overly aware and concerned about things

Like what you're wearing
For example, your choice of clothing

Like what your hair's like and your eyes
Such as the style of your hair and the appearance of your eyes

And now I hate goodbyes
Presently, I strongly dislike parting ways

Especially when millions of miles will part us Friday when I hit the skies
Particularly because a great distance will separate us on Friday when I travel by air

And how I thought this really wasn't the situation at all
Reflecting on my previous belief that this was not the actual circumstance

When I take seat on a high horse, we're talking forty feet tall
When I adopt a self-righteous and superior attitude, exaggerating my confidence

Then I should understand how many walls will break when I fall
In that case, I should realize the numerous barriers that will be shattered when I experience a downfall

Doyuwanna hang out with me sometime before I go?
Do you want to spend time with me before I depart?

And doyuwanna hang out with me sometime before I go?
And do you want to spend time with me before I depart?

I started feeling we should be
I began to have a sense or belief that we should have a certain connection

Guess that wasn't very nice of me
I suppose that was not particularly kind of me

Summer child a year before me December 1993
Someone who is naïve or inexperienced, born a year before me in December 1993

The moon, the air, a cold city was the magic
The combination of the moon, the air, and a chilly city created a sense of wonder or enchantment

But I told you don't touch
However, I advised you not to make any physical contact

And ever since that day, my love, you haven't been saying too much
And since that specific day, my dear, you haven't been speaking much

Thought we could be friends, we could be friendly, could show love
I believed we could establish a friendship, treat each other kindly, and express affection

But not make it though, that's not how it works, I guess
However, it didn't happen as expected, as that's not how things typically unfold, I suppose

Just put on a music video
Instead, simply watch a music video together

And doyuwanna hang out with me sometime before I go?
And do you want to spend time with me before I depart?

And doyuwanna and doyuwanna and doyuwanna and doyuwanna
And do you want to, and do you want to, and do you want to, and do you want to
