Melbourne artist/producer Kids At Midnight has just dropped the infectious It’s Too Late To Say You’ve Got A Crush, and it captures the feeling of a high school crush coming back once you’ve undergone a glow-up. It’s the sugary pop track that’ll give you the energy to take on the day, without the sugar crash that comes afterward. KAM takes influence from the likes of Charli XCX and Robyn, and you can hear the same flair for experimentation on It’s Too Late To Say You’ve Got A Crush.
I really enjoy the bassline of It’s Too Late To Say You’ve Got A Crush, and I think that KAM’s high register vocals capture that slightly breathless feeling of seeing a long-forgotten crush. You don’t quite know how to react, and your body starts to lock up. This song looks to the future but is grounded in the huge pop moments of the ’80s, which creates a nice balance. This is sweeter than even the most delicious after-dinner snacks.
Speaking about the track, KAM says, “It's about my high school crush ignoring me for a decade and then liking me on Tinder”. If you’ve ever had an unrequited crush on someone, only for them to come back into your life later, then you’ll feel powerful after listening to It’s Too Late To Say You’ve Got A Crush. It’s truly infectious pop, and you’ll feel yourself wanting to scream along to the hook. This is one to whip out when you’re with your friends.

Check out It’s Too Late To Say You’ve Got A Crush below. I can see this track soundtracking the pivotal scene of a movie, where the main character sees someone they’ve had a crush on, but previously curved them. KAM combines the past, present and future of pop with ease on the track, and it’s a good taste of what’s to come from her in 2021. Last year saw her release her debut album, and 2021 is set to continue that momentum. Grab your best ‘80s-inspired costume and get ready to boogie. You deserve it.
