ILYSB

"ILYSB" is the seventh track on LANY's first studio album, LANY. The track was first released in 2014 as part of their debut EP, Acronyms. It was later included in their first EP, Make Out, after the band signed on to Polydor Records in 2015.

Background
"ILYSB" is a love song, expressing how physically painful it is to have strong feelings for someone. However, the music video twists the song’s seemingly sweet nature into a dark tale of obsession.

In a note, frontman Paul Klein said of the music video:


 * "It would have been the least creative, most predictable thing in the world to run thru a field and fly down the PCH in a convertible with the “love of my life” … hand-in-hand, wind-in-hair. i had an opportunity to flip the script, to beautifully blindside the fan and the critic. i turned "ILYSB" into a tragedy of unhealthy obsession and unrequited love that ultimately led to psychotic behavior and total derailment."

The song appears on Acronyms EP, Make Out EP, and LANY’s self-titled debut album. LANY also released a stripped version of "ILYSB" featured on the second EP and the Live In Los Angeles music video.
