The nostalgic dream pop tune will appear on the British singer-songwriter’s upcoming LP, In the End It Always Does
The 1975’s Matty Healy has joined British singer-songwriter the Japanese House (a.k.a. Amber Bain) for a new single, “Sunshine Baby.”
“Sunshine Baby” is a glimmering piece of nostalgic, solemn dream pop, with Healy joining Bain on the hook, “Sitting in the backseat/Driving with my sunshine baby/We’ll have gone a little crazy/Surely someone’s gonna save me.” The song was co-produced by Chloe Kraemer and Healy’s 1975 bandmate George Daniel.
“Sunshine Baby is my nickname for my dog, and my ex and I always used to lay on the beach together being sunshine babies,” Bain recalled in a statement. “The chorus is kind of a submission to the end of our relationship, but singing it in a positive light. There’s a transience in every part of a relationship, and in the circle of everything it comes back around.”
