about

Following on from their debut EP release, Way Too Cool For Me, ask elliot return with their newest single Bending over Backwards. Mixed with cool guitar lines and relatable lyrics, ask elliot have delivered with the perfect late-summer tune.

Produced by Rob Whiteley of The Night Cafe and The Wombats, Bending over Backwards starts off with an iconic guitar line that hooks you in from the start. Talking about the track, lead singer Ream elaborates,

‘It’s about the feeling that you’re doing everything you can for something but you feel like it’s never enough.

lyrics

Oh you've been taking me for granted
I'm tryna be just how you wanted
You know I always try my hardest
But it's never enough

And now I'm running around again
Trying to make amends
It's always how it ends
So are we trying to sink or swim
Right now I'm drowning
I guess it's how it ends

But I've been bending over backwards for you
Breaking my neck so I could be good enough for you
Yeah Ive been bending over backwards for you
Breaking my neck so I could prove myself to you

I'm sorry that I didn't call you
My heads a mess and you just caught me falling through
I think there's something I should tell you
I'll never be just how you wanted, but I'll try to

And now I'm running around again
Trying to make amends
It's always how it ends
So are we trying to sink or swim
Right now I'm drowning
I guess it's how it ends

But I've been bending over backwards for you
Breaking my neck so I could be good enough for you
Yeah Ive been bending over backwards for you
Breaking my neck so I could prove myself to you

And I try so hard but we never get far
And I'd crash this car if that was what you want

But I've been bending over backwards for you
Breaking my neck so I could be good enough for you
Yeah Ive been bending over backwards for you
Breaking my neck so I could prove myself to you
Yeah I've been bending over backwards for you
Breaking my neck so I could be good enough for you
