And if your hope starts to die
Please bury me so I can sleep forever
With a memory of you by my side
So we can always be together
From the neon-lit nerve center of New York City, Bunny X return with Never Give You Up, a radiant reverie glistening with devotion and drive. Known for their glitter-drenched odes to ‘80s romance and retro futurism, this release finds the duo stepping into more shadowed territory, swapping flirtation for fierce fidelity, and wide-eyed longing for unwavering resolve.
The track moves with purpose: sweat-slicked, synth-kissed, and brimming with boldness. Drawing from the cool command of early Madonna, the sleek restraint of Depeche Mode, and the lush longing of Pet Shop Boys, Never Give You Up ventures into deeper emotional terrain. It explores the fine line between dedication and desire, between connection and compulsion.
Here, love is loyalty etched in neon. The lyrics circle like a mantra, sealing promises in rhythm and repetition. No escape, no forgetting—only the echo of devotion, persistent and pure. Even in despair, there’s a glint of something unbreakable: commitment that outlasts pain, hope that outpaces endings. This is pop as perseverance. Romance with roots. A synth-soaked vow whispered through the static. Bunny X have found a new kind of power…one that holds tight, not to possess, but to endure. An anthem for anyone who’s ever loved without letting go.
For Never Give You Up, Bunny X rekindles their electric alliance with long-time producer Gosteffects, conjuring a blend of synthwave swagger and pop/phonk punch. The remix arrives supercharged—Ukrainian spacewave sorcerer Earmake returns, dialing up the BPM and dousing the track in dancefloor adrenaline. It’s sweat-slicked nostalgia with a neon heartbeat, retro romance rigged for the rave. Bunny X keep one foot in the future, the other stomping hard on memory’s mirrorball.
