"lucy" was the first taste of Color Theory, Soccer Mommy's second album, arriving as its lead single in November 2019, and it finds Sophie Allison playing with fire. She wrote it about wrestling with inner demons and her own morality, then dressed the whole thing up as a seduction by the devil, a song she has called fun precisely because of its dark, evil vibe.
Gabe Wax produced and recorded it and Lars Stalfors mixed, with Rodrigo Avendano and Julian Powell on guitars beside Allison, Graeme Goetz on bass and Ryan Elwell on drums. Critics heard it as airier and more jangly than the grunge-leaning songs on Clean, bigger and darker but still carried by her dreamy delivery. It came out as a seven-inch, with a lyric video that drew comparisons to The Matrix.
