“_A creator of doom-and-gloom alt-pop, she made her 2019 debut with lonesome and
since then has continued to ascend as an enthralling voice of gothic allure. Her
latest single serves as another bleak dive into the depths of her stygian heart —
although this time laye refuses to be the only one suffering_.” – **Grimy Goods**

“_Leaning into the alt space and further cementing her place as an alt princess,
laye is destined for greatness. Her raw emotion and anger shine through in this 
breakup track for the ages_.” – **Incoming & Outgoing Magazine**

“_Her cohesive and striking visuals and Amy Winehouse-esque aesthetics set her apart,
and seeing her face plastered on billboards leaves no doubt that she has the commanding
presence of a rising star_.” – **Ones To Watch**

**laye – “you’re my achilles heel”**

“_This song is a special one to me. It’s a lullaby but it’s also another soft little
rager that fits with the rest of the music on my EP. I think it kind of touches 
on the extremities of an all-consuming love. ‘you’re my achilles heel’ is a love
song but that doesn’t necessarily mean it’s a healthy one. In a way, I think it’s
a good prelude to all the heartbreak songs on this project_.” – laye

**“you’re my achilles heel” lyrics** 
_you are my kryptoniteget a little bit lonely
when we say goodnight lie awake and picture you dreamingnext to me you’re peacefully
sleepingyou are my lullaby

_you get me right where it hurts straight to the heart
you’re dangerous with your
words that’s the best part

_but still it’s no big deal you’re my achilles heel_

_ooh ooh ooh achilles ooh ooh ooh achilles_

_you are my lexapro
you’re the bottle i reach for when i lose control torture me
but nothing comes easyyou can close the door but don’t leave meyou are my life support

_you get me right where it hurts straight to the heart
you’re dangerous with your
words that’s the best part

_but still it’s no big deal you’re my achilles heel_

_cause you’re the parachute when im free falling give it everything i have im all
in
im medusa, turn em all to stonethen you come calm me down

_i wanna wake up next to you each morning
aphrodite got my whole heart soaringon
the days that aren’t a dream you come and make it so serene

_but still it’s no big deal you’re my achilles heel achilles_

_you pull the tears out of me
you bleed me out when i’m weak but still it’s no big
dealyou’re my achilles heel
