Lizzy McAlpine - Staying
Lizzy McAlpine tells the story behind her song "Staying."
Lizzy McAlpine released her first album in 2020, and her second album in 2022. And between the two, she鈥檚 had a lot of success. One of her songs, "Ceilings," was a viral TikTok hit, and has been streamed over half a billion times. So you might think with all that success, you鈥檇 want to keep working in way that鈥檚 been working. But while Lizzy was making her third album, Older, after almost a year into the process of recording, she threw the whole thing out, hired a whole new band, and started over with a totally different approach. I talked to her about the song "Staying," from her new album. You鈥檒l hear her original voice memos, as well as the first version she made in the studio, and then how it really came to life once she re-imagined it.
