Out now, HAiG’s new single ‘Did I Just Make You Smile?’ is pure melodious, yet intricate rock, that has radio written all over it. It radiates a rich tapestry of interwoven influences that will definitely make you smile. British Rock at its absolute best meshing classic rock with a progressively indie vibe. “This song started as an idea whilst I was driving late at night listening to the Mumford & Sons song Tompkin Square Park,” says Bibby. “Now, I’m not a massive Mumford fan, but that song is a masterpiece and a night-time driving song. It’s what inspired me most when writing Did I Just Make You Smile?, and I loved more than anything the atmosphere created when driving and listening to the pumping, straight-but-unique drum beat.”
Bibby continues, “I took all that into consideration when writing as I didn’t want to force this song in the same way I usually do, so I just started writing lyrics to go with the music. Lyrically, it’s mostly about a recent relationship I’ve been in, but I always like lyrics to mean whatever they might mean to anyone and to be relatable to those who’ve been in similar situations.”
The song took a whole new lease of life when Bibby took it to his band. The bare bones of the acoustic version he wrote was turned on its head when everyone put their parts on it.
“It’s up there in the clouds and I can sing this song from the heart every time we blast it live,” says Bibby.
