LANY is a three piece alternative band from Los Angeles, California. LANY formed in March 2014 when Paul Klein, who had a small solo career, flew to Nashville to meet up with Jake Goss and Les Priest. Previously, Goss and Priest had a separate project by the name of WRLDS, but this was discontinued after the formation of LANY. The following month they uploaded two songs, 'Hot Lights' and 'Walk Away', to SoundCloud incognito in order to differentiate between their old and new projects. Their debut EP, 'Acronymns' followed later that year, with song 'ILYSB' generating significant traffic online. Singles 'Made In Hollywood' and 'Bad, Bad, Bad' soon followed, along with the reveal of their identities.

Lany Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
They try to twist it, try to make it sound bad
But I don't care, no I don't care
I've broke some hearts and had my heart broken too
And that's the risk I took when I fell for you
But I don't care, no I don't care
This is just the way I am
Sorry I call again when you don't pick up
And tell you you're beautiful but probably too much
I tried but I can't treat ya like the rest of LA
Oh, it's just not in my DNA to love you only halfway
I wanna hold your hand in front of my friends
Say what I'm feelin' and not have to pretend
That I don't care, no, I don't care
I wanna brag about you when you're not around
Hear your name next to mine
'Cause I like the way it sounds
I'm sorry I call again when you don't pick up
And tell you you're beautiful but probably too much
I tried but I can't treat ya like the rest of LA
Oh, it's just not in my DNA to love you only halfway
Love you only halfway (I know)
Love you only halfway (oh)
Love you only halfway
This is just the way I am
I'm sorry I call again when you don't pick up
And tell you you're beautiful but probably too much
I tried but I can't treat ya like the rest of LA
Oh, it's just not in my DNA to love you only halfway
Love you only halfway (I know)
Love you only halfway (oh)
Love you only halfway
The song "DNA" by Lany is about a person who has a reputation for falling in love too quickly. They acknowledge that they have had their heart broken and broken other hearts, but they don't care because loving deeply is just who they are. The lyrics discuss how they want to love the person fully and openly, without pretending and without holding back. However, they also apologize for calling too much and coming on too strong, as they struggle to treat their love interest differently than the rest of Los Angeles. The singer admits that it's just not in their DNA to love someone only halfway.
The song's lyrics are relatable for anyone who has ever struggled with the intensity of their feelings in a relationship, and the fear of being judged for loving too much. It's common for people to deny their true feelings or pretend that they don't care, but Lany encourages listeners to embrace their authentic selves, even if it means risking getting hurt. The song's music is catchy and upbeat, with a synth-pop sound that's reminiscent of the 80s.

I don't let others' opinions affect me
I've broke some hearts and had my heart broken too
I've experienced both sides of heartbreak
