The band's profile enjoyed a healthy boost following some favorable media coverage (the band's 2009 split 7" with Woven Bones was featured on Pitchfork) and an endorsement from none other than Iggy Pop, who dropped the band's name in an interview with Urban Outfitters, and it wasn't long before they found themselves on the roster of Sub Pop offshoot Hardly Art. Jacuzzi Boys' sophomore album, Glazin', was released in August of 2011. After spending a bunch of time touring and getting a song in the Seth Rogan movie 50/50, the Boys headed to the Key Club Recording Co. to lay down their third album. The results were mastered by legendary sound wizard Kramer and released to the public as Jacuzzi Boys via Hardly Art in the early autumn of 2013.
After taking a bit of a break, the trio hit the studio in Miami with Torche's Jonathan Nunez in the producer's chair. The resulting batch of back-to-basics garage rockers arrived on the six-song EP Happy Damage, which the band decided to release on its newly formed Mag Mag label in September of 2015. Their next album, the '90s indie rock and grunge-leaning Ping Pong, was recorded in Los Angeles and similarly self-released in late 2016.

watch the sun go down while my face starts to crystallize
you could be the one, you could be the one who'll make me feel all right
take me anywhere, take me anywhere, i wanna be your guy
i can't go through
without you
it's holding me back
glazin' for you
glazin' for you
glazin' for you
sugar in my hair meltin' everywhere in the sunshine
watch the sun go down while my face starts to crystallize
you could be the one, you could be the one who'll make me feel all right
take me anywhere, take me anywhere, i wanna be your guy
i can't go through

it's holding me back
it's all i could do

The lyrics of Jacuzzi Boys's song Glazin’ exude a summery and carefree vibe, with its references to melting sugar and sunsets. It is about a desire for someone to make the singer feel alright and take them anywhere. The repeated refrain of "glazin' for you" seems to be about the singer doing everything they can to win over this person they desire.
The image of "sugar in my hair meltin' everywhere in the sunshine" paints a picture of the singer's joyful abandon in the moment, with their hair sticky from sweet treats and their surroundings awash in warmth and light. As the sun sets and their face starts to crystallize, there is a sense of bittersweet nostalgia - a moment of beauty and happiness that is fleeting and already slipping away. The repeated lines "i can't go through without you" and "it's holding me back" suggest that the singer feels incomplete or stuck without this person they desire, and that their longing for them is profound.
However, amidst all this wistful yearning there is also a sense of determination, as shown in the lines "glazin' for you // well i'm glazin' glazin' glazin' for you". The singer is persistently showing their affection, persistently trying to win over this person, and perhaps even stubbornly refusing to give up despite the odds. This sense of tenacity and perseverance in the face of romantic obstacles is makes the song both poignant and uplifting.
