Lean into the gentle pull of “Soft,” the tender opener to LANY‘s sixth studio album of the same name, arriving October 10, 2025, via Virgin Music Group. Now a streamlined duo of Paul Jason Klein and Jake Goss, LANY strips back to their indie-pop roots on this 10-track set, trading the experimental edges of their A Beautiful Blur era for raw vulnerability and heartfelt hooks. Fresh from a globe-spanning tour that packed arenas from Manila to Madison Square Garden, the band dives deep into staying open amid life’s rough patches, as Klein puts it: the fight to remain soft when everything pushes you to harden up.
As track one, “Soft” sets a hushed, intimate tone with Klein’s soaring falsetto over shimmering synths and subtle percussion, exploring the quiet strength in emotional exposure. Lines weave through love’s fragile side, echoing the album’s core of embracing imperfection, much like the lead single “Know You Naked” that dropped in August and quickly climbed streaming charts. Fans on Reddit and TikTok are sharing how it feels like a reset, linking to the full arc from “Why” to “Last Forever,” where themes of destiny and forgetting pain unfold in that signature LANY glow. It’s a project born from Klein’s personal reflections post-tour, blending the nostalgia of their self-titled debut with matured introspection, all while keeping the melodies that make late-night drives addictive. Dive into the Soft lyrics below and unpack its quiet strength. Don’t miss other Soft tracks like Know You Naked for more of LANY’s heartfelt indie glow.
Lyrics of Soft by LANY
[Verse 1]
I’ve Never Been So High
From Sittin’ Here Just Lookin’ Back At You
I’m Swimmin’ In Your Eyes
I’d Let You Drown Me If You Want To
You’re The Only Light Left In The Room
How Is It That I Get To Be The One That Gets To
[Chorus]
Take You Upstairs?
Closer To Heaven
Tell You How Beautiful You Are
Lips Like A Prayer
Undone In Your Presence
Worship Your Body In The Dark
You’re So Soft
Nothin’ ‘Bout You Ever Hurts Me
You’re So Soft
I’m A Lover At Your Mercy
[Verse 2]
The Way You Say My Name
The Way You’re Takin’ Off My T-shirt
I Want You Every Day, Mm
The Way I Wouldn’t Change A Thing About My Baby Girl
How Is It True (It’s True)
That There’s A Whole World,
But I’m The Only One That Gets To (Ooh)
[Chorus]
Take You Upstairs?
Closer To Heaven
Tell You How Beautiful You Are
Lips Like A Prayer
Undone In Your Presence
Worship Your Body In The Dark
You’re So Soft
Nothin’ ‘Bout You Ever Hurts Me
(Nothin’ ‘Bout You Ever Hurts Me)
You’re So Soft
I’m A Lover At Your Mercy
[Post-Chorus]
Na-na-na-na
Na-na-na-na-na
Na-na-na-na, Na-na-na-na
[Outro]
You’re So Soft
Nothin’ ’bout You Ever Hurts Me
You’re So Soft
I’m A Lover At Your Mercy
