Valentine’s Day is here, which means we are celebrating (very very single) with our favorite Galentine, Zolita! She’s painting our hearts red with her newest single, ‘Bloodstream’ 🩸. We are head over heels for this song, and we have every convincing reason why you should be too! If you are celebrating this holiday lonely and unbothered by a man, consider streaming Zolita’s entire discography for the perfect evening of self-love 🌹!
Yes, the most perfect music video does exist and it’s on Zolita’s YouTube page!
“When I first heard that Miss Argentina and Miss Puerto Rico from the Miss Universe pageant had gotten married in 2022, I couldn’t get enough of their love story. I was obsessed with the idea that these two women found each other in an environment that seems so heteronormative and traditionally feminine. As I started thinking about my next music video, I found myself coming back to their story of connection in an unlikely place. I wanted to create something that spoke to that tension of being your true self or meeting the expectations of your environment.”
Zolita told a press release about the music video
Verse 1
“Two years / They say the serotonin clears / They say the feeling disappears / I must be an outlier”
Listen, we’ve all been there. Sometimes when we go through heartbreak 💔, we tell ourselves that we will never ever (and I mean never ever) have feelings for that person again. Well…that is just not reality. Feelings often never fade, and if they do, it takes a long time for them to disappear forever. If you’ve ever been in love with someone, you will find that those feelings live with you for a long time. Zolita is not the only outlier!
Refrain
“Lately it’s all too much / Nothing is close enough / I want more than your touch”
Zolita just continues to spit realistic facts! Here at THP, we are lover girls to the max and that means wanting to be with the person we love as much as possible. It may give stalker vibes, but hey, we can’t deny when we are in L-O-V-E! 😍
Chorus
“I wanna be in your bloodstream / Run through your veins / I wanna know how it feels to / Be in your DNA / Under your skin / The oxygen that you breathe / When I say I love you / What I really mean / Is I wanna be in your bloodstream”
Like we said, when we love, we love heavily. Zolita knows what it’s like to be so in love that you literally need to be in this person’s DNA…too much? When Ariana Grande said “don’t want you in my bloodline, just wanna have a good time,” we simply couldn’t relate. Now every time we hear the chorus to ‘Bloodstream,’ we say “real” and hit replay! ▶️
Verse 2
“Wearing your shirt / Only really makes it worse / ‘Cause I wanna drown in your whole world / I know that sounds insane”
No, Zolita, you do not sound insane! Wearing your partner’s t-shirt 👕 is probably one of the best perks of being in a long-term committed relationship (or a situationship, we don’t judge!) 😉. We all have the one super comfy super soft t-shirt we stole from that special someone. Maybe we will get another this Valentine’s Day? *hint hint*
