Lanza, Jessy - Slapped By My Life

‘Slapped By My Life’ is a bittersweet paean to Jessy's husband.

Musically, it leans into a more dancefloor-oriented sound, playful and floaty at a speedy 158bpm. The ‘Existential Edit’ version pushes even further onto the dancefloor, accentuating the sweeping, lush synth textures with just accents and phrases that give it a propulsive bounce.

Lyrically, it flits between open love, gratefulness and uncertainty, and is the most simple, direct and personal thing Jessy has ever written, made with co-production from Pearson sound.
