Tungz's "Can't We Just Be Friends Again" is a funk-pop tale of reconciliation

"Can't We Just Be Friends Again" is the London-via-Bristol group's first offering since releasing their 2019 EP Okay.

Opening with a nostalgic crash of drums and warbling, wavy synths, Tungz's new single weaves through vibrant funk-pop melodies while vocalist Jamie tries to passionately put across their want for reconciliation.

The tropical chopped beat crashes like waves against a rocky shore, while the pulsating '70s synths erupt in colourful melodies, providing a funky foundation for the intense vocals.

The band say of the new track, "In a previous song, Jamie said, 'Maybe sometimes we should [fight]'. In this song he's like 'Actually no'. It's about two people who've never really started an argument trying to end one. This track feels like a statement to us. But it's also a question. That's why we left off the question mark. We went heavy on the production - it's gonna be a nightmare to work out how to play it live."
