HMPRY's 'Wanting To Love Me' finally sees the light, with the infectious synth-pop track with city-pop flair finally being unveiled.
Paying homage to unspoken feelings that stay concealed, the tune is a cocktail of warm melodies, smooth R&B beats, and a sound that is reminiscent of the groove of the 80s. The overall vibe of the song makes listeners feel like they're taking a walk through Tokyo — experiencing the desperation for someone to reciprocate the love that they have for a person.
Originally drafted in 2023 and nearly forgotten, HMPRY’s 'Wanting To Love Me' was rediscovered and carefully refined this year. Adding new synths, warm bass, and crisp percussion while keeping its intimate lo-fi core, the track emerges as a modern city-pop confession — personal, diary-like, and timelessly evocative.
The lyrics feel like the shimmer of neon lights and sparkles of a disco ball while gliding across the dance floor, supported by lyrics that say, "cause your heart’s wanting to love me" — putting in a silent plea for equal effort in a relationship to establish a balance in the feelings that are shared between two people.
'Wanting To Love Me' evolved from a shelved demo into a heartfelt track that embodies HMPRY’s signature blend of introspection and melody. Nostalgic yet contemporary, it’s the kind of song made for late-night drives, cozy mornings, and moments of longing for connection.
