Nostalgia Lyrics
I remember the first time I was in love
It was all the way back in 1997
I stole my mama's cell phone, yes, and I was turning it up
Tracked down your number, boy
I was so in love, I thought I was in heaven
[Pre-Chorus]
It was so beautiful, the love we had, the love we had
Can't believe we let it pass, we let it pass
So beautiful, but you were right, yes you were right
We couldn't last, but what a blast we had
[Chorus]
I know you're hurting, I know your heart, it aches
For someone's lovin', ooh ooh
But the sun shines when the cloud breaks
I know you're hurting, I know your heart, it aches
For someone's lovin', ooh ooh
But the sun shines when the cloud breaks
[Verse 2]
I remember the first time they caught us drinking
We were out there hanging on our bicycles blowing wheels
I had stole my dad's liquor, yeah, and we were turning it up
High as a kite and we were so in love, so high above
So beautiful, the love we had, the love we had
Can't believe we let it pass, we let it pass
So beautiful, but you were right, yes you were right
We couldn't last, but what a blast we had
[Chorus]
I know you're hurting, I know your heart, it aches
For someone's lovin', ooh ooh
But the sun shines when the cloud breaks
I know you're hurting, I know your heart, it aches
For someone's lovin', ooh ooh
But the sun shines when the cloud breaks
[Bridge]
Come and grab my hand, honey
Don't you wanna be wild with me?
Just like we used to be back then, oh, oh, oh, oh
Come and grab my hand, honey
Don't you wanna dance with me?
Just like we used to do so devoted to the music
[Chorus]
I know you're hurting, I know your heart, it aches
For someone's lovin', ooh ooh
But the sun shines when the cloud breaks
I know you're hurting, I know your heart, it aches
For someone's lovin', ooh ooh
But the sun shines when the cloud breaks
I know you're hurting, I know your heart, it aches
For someone's lovin', ooh ooh
But the sun shines when the cloud breaks
I know you're hurting, I know your heart, it aches
For someone's lovin', ooh ooh
But the sun shines when the cloud breaks
About
“Nostalgia” is the first material MØ has dropped since 2017’s When I Was Young. When asked if this song would be a part of a new EP or her greatly anticipated sophomore album, she told Idolator that it’s “the beginning of a bigger rollout.”
In an interview with PAPER, MØ explains the song:
‘Nostalgia’ is a very honest song. […] I’m a super nostalgic person, but at the same time, I’m obsessed with moving forward and constant change. I feel addicted to the nostalgia, as well because that’s where I draw 70 percent of my inspiration from. So having that feeling with me as I’m rushing into the future is a good compromise I think.

From an interview with PAPER:
[‘Nostalgia’] all started with a demo beat that I had received from a producer friend of mine a while ago. The moment I heard the drums I opened my mouth and started talking over the beat. I did the verses and the pre-chorus like that, and when I played it for my producer Stint, whom I’ve worked a lot with recently, he got this idea for a chorus that he had done with a couple of other producer/songwriter friends of ours a while ago. So it was kind of like a patchwork — a mishmash of beautiful coincidences.
