“On and Off” by Maggie Rogers
“On and Off” by Maggie Rogers appears on 1 radio countdown from 1 station in 2017. Its best result is #72 on the WFUV Top 90 Songs of 2017. In the combined RockLists rankings it is the #367 indie & aaa song of 2017.
Maggie Rogers made "On and Off" (styled "On + Off") right after "Alaska", which puts it among her very first songs; Debay Sounds and Capitol issued it on January 17, 2017, the third single lifted from her debut EP, Now That the Light Is Fading. She wrote it with Nick Das and produced it with Das and Doug Schadt.
The title sounds like an easy come-on, and Rogers has admitted the song plays with that cliché, but she says it's really about emotional stability, the push and pull of being on and off, and finding someone who keeps you grounded. It's made to move to, she's said, with plenty of heart underneath, and Idolator's Mike Wass heard a giddy love song, all breathy vocals and warm, stacked-up production.
