‘I Never Wanna Be In Love’ by LÖNA

LÖNA have never shied away from human insecurity, but with ‘I Never Wanna Be In Love’, the identical twin altpop duo sharpens heartbreak into a blade you can dance to. Fueled by tension, neon synths, and the ache of almost-love, the track is a melancholic banger tailor-made for crying under strobe lights.

Built on a foundation of four-on-the-floor beats, ‘I Never Wanna Be In Love’ distils the agony of unrequited love into a track that’s as emotionally resonant as it is club-ready. Danielle’s icy, skeletal production – finished with co-producer Mischa Dirksen – echoes the sonic lineage of Robyn and MUNA, balancing vulnerability with bite. The result: a song that hits you where it hurts, then makes you move anyway.

“This one’s about the heartbreak of something that never had a name,” the duo says. “That in-between space where you’re giving more than you’re getting, but can’t let go.” That tension climaxes in the bridge, where the synths grow jagged and restless, and the standout lyric lands like a confession: “I bit my tongue till I tasted blood, I don’t want to be loved.” As Dutch-born sisters turning pain into pop, LÖNA continues to carve out their own space, one where darkness and euphoria coexist.
