By writing 'Headphones,' “I truly got to know myself and learning to love being alone became my dream,” maudelstatus tells us.
The Steven Mertens-directed fantasy is also laced with real-life anecdotes as Latour sings about “laying on the footsteps to the library” — something she actually did after her break up a student at Columbia University. “They’re also the same steps where I filmed the ‘One More Weekend’ video with a broken heart,” she adds.
Latour — who successfully marries early Lorde-like vocals with a pop-perfect sound — says she wrote “Headphones” after going through that difficult split and was feeling “truly alone” for the first time. “It started with me lying on my dorm room floor, realizing I was going to be alone in my head for my entire life,” she explains. “The world suddenly opened up. I truly got to know myself and learning to love being alone became my dream.
With the help of producer Mike Adubado, Latour finished writing the song nearly a year and a half after she first penned it. The last two lines of the chorus were added in a nod to another defining moment happening in Latour’s life at the time: being signed to Warner Records. “By the end of last summer, as I was adding finishing touches to the song, something changed. I had changed,” the songstress says.
