Despite the lyrics of “Desert Island Lover” illustrating feelings of imprisonment in a relationship, they are seamlessly juxtaposed by the breezy guitar melodies and a bouncy percussion line. On the track, BAD CHILD explains, “’Desert Island Lover’ is a paradox – to me it’s about how two people can willingly participate in a relationship founded on entrapment. It’s about becoming comfortable in that cycle.
The song was built to sound like a really good time on the surface but beneath have a deeper tone. The video was shot in Paris country side and was designed to be a beautiful take on the loneliness that happens in being trapped.”
