Mellow Fellow has dropped the first single to his upcoming album, and it’s perhaps one of his saddest songs yet. Titled “new year’s eve,” he’s gotten together with Canadian artist Floor Cry a.k.a. Felicia Sekundiak for this heartbreaking tune about almost lovers. As the song goes:

it’s new year’s eve
and she begins to leave
even though
i want you to be mine
i only let you show from time to time
it’s alright
we’ll figure this one out
but for now
it’s getting late
on new year’s eve
and i know
i shouldn’t come knocking
on the door

The two have encapsulated the bittersweet feeling of being together, but not belonging to each other.

Listen to the song here:
