“Animal” illuminates BENEE’s penchant for undeniable and unpredictable pop songcraft. A quirky beat sets the track in motion, which is accented by a glimmering loop and glitchy echoes. BENEE transfixes with a hummable hook, singing, “And you can’t stay mad at me, I’m just an animal. A micro-celebrity, but I mean nothing at all.” Stay tuned for the release of the music video, coming soon.
On the song, BENEE shares, “‘Animal’ is a song I wrote when I felt extreme existential dread. When flying in a plane on tour, looking down onto what looks like an ant-like world really inspired the lyrics. How huge something feels when you’re in it, but zoomed out so SMALL. I love thinking about life like that.”
“I thought about this concept long and hard, and I feel we can only be playful with the thought of how insignificant and small we are compared to the universe. There’s peace in not knowing what anything is here for. It makes me want to enjoy everything in life even more,” she says.
