I posted about EXES a while back hoping that there is going to be new material soon and there we go, it's here and I'm oh so excited.

"Like You" is the best follow up I could think of - it has the same bittersweet vibe and delicacy to it, but a different soundscape. This delicacy and sweet vocals paired with bassy/trappy production is the definition of this slightly bratty pop music that has been picking up lately. EXES are definitely on top of their game. The track has this very chilled feel to it and it's an absolute best way to ease into whatever you're doing. Check out below how EXES' Allie McDonald describes the track. Sounds very relatable, doesn't it?

“Like You” is a very real song about a very real boy I fell quickly and unrealistically for.  Although the subject matter is a bit sad, the bouncy playfulness of the production adds an aspect of teenage naivety.  Even in adulthood, relationships can be immature and overdramatic, and I think “Like You” really showcases that.
