“Eugene” by Arlo Parks

Arlo Parks led her debut album, Collapsed in Sunbeams, with "Eugene", and the English singer-songwriter made her case fast. She wrote the words and co-wrote the music with GianLuca Buccellati, who produced it and plays drums, bass, guitar and synthesizer on it, with David Wrench mixing.

The video, directed by the Coyle-Larner Brothers (Loyle Carner and his brother Ryan), follows Parks and an unnamed acquaintance whose bond is hard to read until the title character turns up and seems to be with the acquaintance, much to Parks' dismay. The Forty-Five ranked it the fourth-best song of 2020, and Dua Lipa covered it in 2021.
