Ahead of her upcoming sophomore album, Surrender, Maggie Rogers is back with yet another single, “Horses.”
Following the releases of “Want Want” and “That’s Where I Am“, “Horses” is now the third single from Surrender.
And to no one’s surprise, this latest track is our newest song on repeat.
After starting off as a soft and dreamy ballad, Rogers takes us into a powerful and belted chorus as she sings, “I see horses running wild, I wish / I could feel like that for just a minute/ Would you come with me, or would you resist?”
In speaking with Zane Lowe on Apple Music 1, Rogers shared how “Horses” came to be,
“I’ve never had a day in my life where I have written two songs at once. And I certainly have never had a day where I’ve written three. Started out the day with “That’s Where I Am”, came back after lunch and wrote, “I’ve Got a Friend.” Came back after dinner and wrote “Horses. “And “Horses” is a one take vocal… And so is “I’ve Got a Friend,” but “Horses” specifically, I was so… I started writing the song and I was like, “Ugh, I don’t want to do it.” And Tom [Hull aka producer Kid Harpoon] was like, “Finish it.” And I was like, “No, I want to go to bed.” He was like, “Finish it.” And I finished it and he was like, “Okay, one vocal.” And I was like, ” Could you just do it in the morning?” He was just like, ” No do it.”
“Horses” — out now.
