""Everyone has a phone where they see their heart rate, and we're learning how to decode our emotions through the hormones and chemical substances in our bodies," she said. "It's almost like we don't even accept that we're human anymore, like we're trying to shoot ourselves out of it and explain every single thing-which I think is great, but that's also why the world is shit, this idea that you can figure out and win life or something.""
"The doubleness of 'Dopamine' is having an emotion that is super real, super strong, intense, enjoyable or painful, and at the same time knowing that this is just a biological process in my body-and then not to choose religion or science. To just accept that they're there together and to be able to go in between. Teased for the past several weeks, Robyn's comeback reunites her with longtime collaborator Klas Åhlund, whose work with the Swedish pop star includes four songs on her last album,"
Robyn released her first single in seven years, "Dopamine," accompanied by a performance video directed by Marili Andre. The song draws inspiration from hormones and chemical substances and reflects on how devices allow people to monitor heart rate and attempt to decode emotions. The concept centers on the doubleness of intense emotion as both a deeply felt experience and a biological process. The track rejects choosing between religion and science, urging acceptance of both together. The comeback reunites Robyn with longtime collaborator Klas Åhlund, and follows numerous guest appearances since her last album.
