"Two Weeks" was the song that introduced LP1, FKA twigs' 2014 debut album, and it announced her as a pop singer with a mind of her own. She wrote it with Emile Haynie, who produced it and played drums, while twigs ran the drum machine, took an extra production credit and sang it; Arca added synthesizer and David Wrench mixed.
The critics fell hard. Pitchfork crowned it Best New Track on arrival, later put it at No. 3 on its list of the year's best tracks, and at 64 among the best of the decade so far; the Village Voice's Pazz & Jop poll placed it second, behind Future Islands' "Seasons (Waiting on You)". It also landed in the book 1001 Songs You Must Hear Before You Die. The 12-inch carried "Pendulum" on the flip.
