About Used To Like

“Used to Like” is the first long-awaited single from the new Neon Trees album. It was first teased on the band’s social media pages on November 4, 2019. It’s the band’s newest song in over two years. On Wednesday evening (Nov. 13), Neon Trees returned with “Used To Like,” a soaring pop-rock anthem that serves as the lead single for their first album in more than five years. On its face, “Used To Like” sounds like a classic Neon Trees record, with syncopated guitars, propulsive drums and an '80s-inspired sheen. However, its lyrics are a far cry from the power-pop flirtations that filled the act’s early hits. Instead, the new single finds frontman Tyler Glenn grasping at the last vestiges of a relationship gone sour. “Oh honey/ Now you’re sayin’ I’m actin’ crazy/ And I don’t see what you see/ Get back to what you used to like about me/ Back to what you used to like about me,” he pleads to his former flame, his wail of a voice reaching for the rafters as it jumps an octave on the track’s propulsive chorus.
