![]() Tell me if you still miss me,” the song opens. What will you do with all this poison? Nothing good. “Tell me if you miss me, tell me if you don’t forgive me yet. With tender melodies and synths, in “Lo Vas A Olvidar,” the two singers’ soprano voices melt together like liquid velvet to elevate the raw, heartwrenching lyrics even more. I do feel like it’s weird and different.” The time I heard it when it was done I was just like ‘this is so weird.’ I don’t feel like I’ve heard a song that sounds like this. “Usually the production we do is the production we end up with. “ went through lots of stages, which is kinda rare for us,” Billie said in an interview with Apple Music's Zane Lowe. Unlike "Part 1: Rue," which did feature a Labrinth-backed score, the Jules episode highlighted music by the likes of Lorde, Billie Eilish and Rosalía, Arca, and newcomer Ai Bendr.įeaturing both Spanish and English lyrics, the song is written by the two singers in tandem with their respective long-time collaborators FINNEAS and El Guincho, and produced by the former. Musically, one of the first things you’ll notice is Labrinth is nowhere to be seen in the new special. As the title makes clear, this episode centers around Jules Vaughn, played by Hunter Schafer, who’s also listed as one of the writers and executive producers for the episode. “F*ck Anyone Who's Not A Sea Blob” (or, “Part Two: Jules”) premiered on HBO on January 24 as a continuation of December 2020’s "Trouble Don't Last Always" (or, "Part 1: Rue"). However, Jules’s special gives the music of Euphoria a new spin. He even put on a theatrical live performance of some of the tracks via YouTube in August 2019.

Elliot (Dominc Fike) listens to contemporary rap and trap, such as Baby Keem and Fleacoo.

There are some memorable moments where the songs made the scenes that much more iconic. Despite him being a popular musician, Labrinth has a long career in film scoring ahead of him.
