Produced by Oscar Sharah (OSRLD / Mel Blue / Hallie / Lola Scott), “Aloe Vera” delves deep into the heart of pessimism, exploring the constant battle between the desire to be open and the instinct to protect oneself from potential hurt. Through the lens of a relationship teetering on the edge, Darcy Lane captures the universal struggle of questioning the worth of putting oneself out there, only to be burnt by the outcomes.

The track serves as a metaphor for the insufficiency of temporary fixes in healing emotional wounds. Despite its thematic depth, “Aloe Vera” surprises listeners with its upbeat, electric production. The track’s contrast mirrors the complex layers of human emotion, pairing a bittersweet narrative with a lively melody and subtle ‘80s-inspired' undertones that compels movement.
