In 2016, their breakout moment arrived when the remix of their original song "Lighthouse," produced by Swedish DJ and producer Andrelli, garnered widespread acclaim and reached audiences in Sweden, Norway, and various parts of Europe.

Transitioning from covers to original material, Hearts & Colors signed with Island Records and unveiled their debut original track, "Too Many Friends," in February 2018. Later that year, they simultaneously released "Lying to Myself" and "Waterbed," solidifying their presence as singer-songwriters in the industry.
Continuing their musical journey, Hearts & Colors delivered a string of singles throughout 2018, including "L.A. on a Saturday Night." In 2019, they unveiled "Lion" and "I Don't Care," displaying a return to their acoustic guitar-driven roots.

Hearts & Colors Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I wasn't ready, now I am
Maybe we're part of a bigger plan
I got a plan of loving, loving you
Don't even know what you do
Turned this boy into a fool
I'm a fool for you, fool for ya
How did I turn into somebody that you want, want, want?
I don't even get it how you love me so
I just really gotta let you know
Dude, you deserve so much better, better than me
Got me tripping on my words, I gotta bite my tongue
Don't know what I did to be the lucky one
I just really gotta let you know
Dude, you deserve so much better, better than me
Call me the lucky man, baby, that's all I am
Must be a lucky man
'Cause you turned out a ten
We started out as friends
Then spent a week in bed
Like, are you twenty-one?
When are you twenty-one?
I had a couple too many
And now there's only one
You don't even know what you do
Turned this boy into a fool
I'm a fool for you, fool for ya
How did I turn into somebody that you want, want, want?
I don't even get it how you love me so
I just really gotta let you know
Dude, you deserve so much better, better than me
Got me tripping on my words, I gotta bite my tongue
Don't know what I did to be the lucky one
I just really gotta let you know
Dude, you deserve so much better, better than me
Call me the lucky man (I must be a lucky man)
Baby, that's all I am (I must be a lucky man)
(I must be a lucky man), I must be a lucky man, oh
(I must be a lucky man), oh yeah, yeah
(I must be a lucky man), I must be a lucky man, oh yeah, yeah
(I must be a lucky man), I must be a lucky man
How did I turn into somebody that you want, want, want?
I don't even get it how you love me so
I just really gotta let you know, babe
Dude, you deserve so much better, better than me
Got me tripping on my words, I gotta bite my tongue
Don't know what I did to be the lucky one
I just really gotta let you know
Dude, you deserve so much better, better than me
Call me the lucky man (I must be a lucky man)
Baby, that's all I am (I must be a lucky man)
Call me the lucky man (I must be a lucky man)
Baby, that's all I am (I must be a lucky man)
