Lizzo discovers love among dancing zombies in real life
Lizzo, the iconic artist known for hits like “Good as Hell,” surprised fans with the release of her latest single “Love in Real Life.” This track marks her return to the music scene after a hiatus of about two years and offers a taste of what’s to come on her upcoming album, showcasing a pop-rock vibe.
The song’s lyrics delve into the concept of genuine love in real life, emphasizing the importance of authentic connections over the superficiality of social media validation. Lizzo sings about the desire for a simpler way of life and the need for real, meaningful relationships in a world dominated by virtual interactions. The chorus echoes this sentiment, expressing the longing for genuine experiences and connections: “Give me something with a little tempo/ Hey, ho, hey, ho/ Give me something I can throw it back for/ By the end of the world, by the end of the night/ Baby come over here, I need love in real life.”
Accompanying the single is a music video that features Lizzo embarking on a night out that takes a bizarre turn when she encounters a group of dancing zombies. Despite her initial fear, she eventually joins in on the dance, illustrating the theme of embracing spontaneity and joy in the face of unexpected challenges.
“Love in Real Life” serves as a preview of Lizzo’s upcoming fifth album, slated for release this summer, according to Billboard. This single is a significant milestone in her discography, marking her first solo track since the release of “Pink” on the Barbie soundtrack and her last album, Special, from 2022.
In addition to the single release, Lizzo has announced a series of three intimate shows in various cities next month. Fans can catch her live performances on March 12 at Wiltern Theater in Los Angeles, March 16 at Irving Plaza in New York, and March 18 at First Ave. in Minneapolis.
