Following up on the evocative, decadent gem ‘This Moment’, talented singer-songwriter Lana Crow has now returned with a decisively more uplifting, summer-powered banger. ‘If He Loved Me Back Then’ is the perfect pick, with romantic-filled, relatable lyricism gently drawing the listeners into the Spain-based songstress’s enticing artistry. Built on a dancy, disco-flavoured production, the single benefits from a contemporary aural livery, an euphoric blend of synths and funky guitars that are a joy to listen to.
Curiously, ‘If He Loved Me Back Then’ was previously released in 2024, with a more intimate and emotional arrangement. This year’s version feels more mature and complete, also offering a different perspective on Crow’s luscious, elegant vocals. Boasting a bold, clear tone, Lana connects with the listeners from the first note. The track’s playful quality is also a notable element.
Speaking about the inspiration behind the song, Crow explains: “It’s about looking back on heartbreak with gratitude rather than regret — turning past pain into personal power. I want people to celebrate failed relationships, because I don’t believe they’re really failures. Every connection teaches us something about ourselves, and all of them — the good, the bad, and the ugly — deserve to be celebrated with a good old dance move.”
