“Backward in Love” is catchy pop with an undercurrent of melancholy, courtesy of a Canadian indie outfit called shy kids.

In its lo-fi verses, the song describes an ailing relationship where the passion once felt is noticeably starting to fade, accompanied powerfully by the melodic chorus that expresses a sincere desire to fall “backward in love.”
