Following the introspective ‘Sad In Hawaii’ and the lively ‘123’, Claire’s latest venture into upbeat pop music comes in the form of the carefree and energetic ‘Screw Time’. With its catchy guitar melodies and pulsating beats, Claire sings about her desire to pause the blissful moments of adolescence and maintain a carefree attitude indefinitely (“All of a sudden I need a pause button”).
Melodic and utterly captivating, ‘Screw Time’ provides a glimpse into Claire’s life and the anxieties that come with approaching adulthood, as her teenage years rapidly draw to a close (“‘Cause it feels like I was just seventeen / Wondering what’s next for me / They say time flies, but time just steals from me… Running from a world made up of nine to fives”).
Regarding the track, Claire explains: “The song is about the sensation of being in the midst of your most formative years and yearning to preserve all the memories you’ve created. Instead, you find yourself watching time pull you further away from your favorite moments at an increasingly rapid pace. Screw time!”
