About “molly”:
A cleverly written exploration of the dopamine rush of desire and crash of reality, Vitalia’s “molly” is a romantically charged track set to a haunting Indie-Pop backdrop. Stemming from a whirlwind romance, the song delves into the complexity of attraction and betrayal. With its eerie, atmospheric production inspired by artists like Billie Eilish and Lizzie McAlpine, “molly” plays with the idea of a person becoming as intoxicating as a drug, using its melody to leave an unsettling feeling that something isn’t quite right.
