"Everyone has a smartphone that measures their pulse. We learn to decode emotions through the hormones and chemical substances within us. It's almost as if we no longer accept that we are human, as if we're trying to detach ourselves and explain everything down to the smallest detail, which I actually find amazing. But that's also the reason why the world is in such a mess: this notion that we can somehow figure life out"
""Dopamine" is a song that encapsulates desire and doubt, authenticity and illusion, a pulsating and exhilarating piece of pop music that makes the tension between feeling and physicality palpable. Robyn muses, "Everyone has a smartphone that measures their pulse. We learn to decode emotions through the hormones and chemical substances within us. It's almost as if we no longer accept that we are human, as if we're trying"
Robyn returns after more than seven years with the single "Dopamine," created in collaboration with long-time collaborator Klas Åhlund and released on her new label, Young. The track captures the intoxicating high of falling in love, where emotion and chemistry meld into one. The song balances desire and doubt, authenticity and illusion with pulsating, exhilarating pop production that heightens the tension between feeling and physicality. Lyrical themes examine how technology and biology mediate emotion, noting smartphones, hormones, and the impulse to decode experience. The release follows the 2018 album Honey and recent high-profile performances.
