LA-based artist Lil Lotus teamed up with Toronto-based pop artist Sophie Powers for a new pop-punk song entitled “When Life Gives You Lemons.” The song was released yesterday via Epitaph Records. Matt Malpass, who’s worked with Blink-182 and Machine Gun Kelly, produced the track.
“I wanted to write a song about how it feels to be caught up in a relationship where you’re constantly playing the blame game with each other instead of actually communicating,” explains Lil Lotus. “Adding Sophie in made it really upbeat and fun, so I thought it would be a cute twist on a negative situation.”
“I knew I wanted to be a part of the song the second I heard Lotus’s catchy hook,” says Powers. “His vulnerability is commendable, although there are two sides to every story. I enjoyed writing from the perspective of the heartbreaker, as I’ve often found myself in that position. It doesn’t feel good, either. People on the receiving end often forget that. It’s totally understandable, although we shouldn’t villainize someone for simply wanting to move on. The music video is ironic in that sense, as we are visually calling out societal norms. I am literally dressed as a villain. So glad Lotus and I came together for this track. He’s so talented!”
