Cian Ducrot Reflects On Relationships On New Single ‘Everyone Who Falls In Love’

Rising Irish singer-songwriter Cian Ducrot has shared his new single “Everyone Who Falls In Love (Has Someone Else They’re Thinking Of)” ahead of the August 4 release of his debut album, Victory, through Polydor Records. You can check the track out below.

‘Everyone Who Falls In Love (Has Someone Else They’re Thinking Of)” kicks off with a melancholy piano intro that indicates the song is heading in one direction, but those expectations are spun around as Cian sings the ear-catching lyric, “She still thinks of him when she touches my skin.” Like many of Ducrot’s songs to date, “Everyone Who Falls In Love” shows that for all the joys that come with it, romance can be messy, contradictory and confusing. That mood is emphasized by the production, which reflects the turmoil of the lyrics with dashes of corrosive beats and darker synth textures.

Reflecting on the song, Cian says, “‘Everyone Who Falls In Love’ is based on the idea that as you get older and enter relationships, both parties usually have a lot of baggage from past relationships that still affects them and that they still think about on a daily basis. Whether it be love or pain or trauma or just simple memories, the truth is it takes time to escape those things that affected us so deeply and only time will help them pass. Everyone who falls in love has someone else they’re thinking of.”

Ducrot wrote the song with Bill Maybury (Lewis Capaldi, Mimi Webb) and solo artist Cate (‘Groupie’, ‘Can’t Wait To Be Pretty’), and produced it alongside Jacob Manson (Elderbrook, Aitch).

Victory compiles this new song to all of the biggest and best moments of Cian’s career to date (“I’ll Be Waiting,” “Heaven,” “All For You” and “Part Of Me”) as well as another seven future fan favourites. A range of formats, bundles and merch designs includes a spatter-colored vinyl as well as two CDs with a bonus disc: one featuring string arrangements of select songs, the other featuring performances from Cian’s choir.

Having just played three huge outdoor shows with Dermot Kennedy, Cian Ducrot’s international touring in support of Victory will take him North America, Europe, the UK and back home to Ireland. He will also play some intimate album launch shows and will be hosting signing sessions at select HMV.

Pre-order Victory.
