Lykke Li shares new single ‘Knife In The Heart’: “This is my brutalist nursery rhyme anthem — the emo girl in me, fully unleashed”

Summary: Lykke Li is back with a new song called "Knife In The Heart" from her upcoming sixth album, The Afterparty, which comes out on May 8. She calls the new track a "brutalist nursery rhyme" that fully unleashes her inner "emo girl." The song features her son and his friend singing the chorus over intense music.

Instead of singing about romance or trying to find her "best self," Lykke Li says this new album deals with darker feelings. She is focusing on the "lower self," which includes feelings like shame, despair, and the need for revenge. She says the song captures what it feels like to be alive right now while the world feels like it is collapsing.
