\n\t\u201cThe song \u201cNice Shoes\u201d features a rolling breakbeat as Lacy muses on romance, sexual fluidity, and everything in between before cutting into his classic guitar-driven melody towards the song\u2019s end. The lyrics bounce between absurdist (\u201cIf I had a dollar for the friends I would fuck, I could buy a pair of really nice shoes\u201d) and insightful (\u201ccareful how you spend your time, it adds up\u201d). He muses on \u201cromantic boners,\u201d as he describes it to Rolling Stone<\/em> in his cover story, as well as the sometimes subtle nature of melancholy. \u201cCrazy how you could be sad and not notice,\u201d he sings. \u201cAll I need is my guitar and serotonin.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\tIn an Instagram post announcing the single, he credits producer Nightfeelings and Matthew Castellanos for writing and production help. He described the track as a \u201ctrailer\u201d for his upcoming album Oh Yeah,<\/em> set to arrive in the near future. The album follows 2022\u2019s\u00a0Gemini Rights,<\/em>\u00a0which featured the chart-topping hit \u201cBad Habit,\u201d and earned Lacy a nomination for Song of the Year, Record of the Year, and Best Pop Solo Performance at the 2023 Grammys. Gemini Rights<\/em> would win the award for Best Progressive R&B Al<\/span>bum.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n
