Featurette’s latest EP track “Animal” showcases the duo’s knack for blending haunting melodies with raw, confessional lyrics. The song, a standout from the MULTISTATE EP, cements their reputation for pushing emotional boundaries in contemporary indie pop.
“Animal” explores the push‑and‑pull of a turbulent relationship, where desire and frustration collide. The narrator oscillates between yearning and defiance, using animalistic metaphors to depict the primal nature of attraction and the struggle for control.
Animal
You’re animal
Yeah you get high on the chase
Over it
I’m over it
And I’ve been giving you grace
And I was waiting for you
I’ve been climbing up the walls
Inside of my head
I’ve been waiting on your call
But never again
I’ve been diving in your mind
Till I got the bends
I’m not man’s best friend
I’m not man’s best friend
Animal
You’re animal
And you’ve been tempting my fate
Criminal
It’s criminal
How you tied me up and made me wait
And I was sitting pretty for you
I’ve been climbing up the walls
Inside of my head
I’ve been waiting on your call
But never again
I’ve been diving in your mind
Till I got the bends
I’m not man’s best friend
I’m not man’s best friend
And I was waiting
Yeah I was waiting for you
You hesitated
I was waiting for you
I was waiting for you
I was waiting for you
I was waiting (I was waiting)
For you
To put me down
Since its release, “Animal” has resonated with fans who praise its visceral lyricism and atmospheric production, further cementing Featurette’s growing influence in the indie scene.
