Step into the introspective world of Sunset Tower, the evocative tenth track from Conan Gray’s fourth studio album Wishbone, set to release on August 15, 2025, via Republic Records. The album marks a significant chapter in Gray’s artistry, reflecting deeply personal themes and a return to his singer-songwriter roots, with an intimate and emotional sound shaped over two years during his touring.
This indie-pop ballad, crafted with longtime collaborator Dan Nigro, weaves Conan’s tender lyricism with shimmering melodies, reflecting Wishbone’s themes of self-discovery and love’s complexities. Unlike the upbeat defiance of Never Ending Song, the raw vulnerability of Winner, or the cinematic romance of Alley Rose from Found Heaven, Sunset Tower captures a bittersweet nostalgia, possibly inspired by the iconic Los Angeles landmark. Following This Song and Vodka Cranberry’s emotional depth, it promises to be a standout in Conan’s most personal work yet. Dive into the Sunset Tower lyrics below, and feel the glow of Conan’s soulful storytelling.

Lyrics of Sunset Tower by Conan Gray
[Verse 1]
Heard You’re In The City, I Felt Like Total Shit
Walking Past The Tower Hotel
I Used To Pick You Up After Shooting All Day
We’d Drive Around Talking ’bout How We Hate This Place
Luka Says You’re Dating Again, It’s Horrible
Getting All Your News Through A Friend
Been Tryna Hide That I’m Still Here Stuck In Your Hell
So Really, Man, If You’re Out Here Doing Well
[Chorus]
Don’t Tell Me
Don’t Tell Me
I Can Hear It
Don’t Tell Me
[Verse 2]
Spare Me All The Stories Of How You’re Moving On
Lying To Myself When I Say That’s What I Want
Part Of Me Just Wanted Some Proof
It’s Hurting You In The Way It’s Hurting Me Too
And I Know What You Said As I Was Leaving Your Place
You’ve Got A Messed-up Head And You Need Some Space
I Said, “Yeah, That’s Clear, Go Get Some Help,”
But If You’re Working On Yourself
[Chorus]
Don’t Tell Me
Don’t Tell Me
I Can Hear It
Don’t Tell Me
[Bridge]
I Wish You The Best But Hope That You Die Inside
Every Time I’m Playing In London
If There Is Someone New That You’re Out Here F**king
[Chorus]
Don’t Tell Me (It’s Easier To Never Know)
Don’t Tell Me (Than Face It That You’re Letting Go)
I Can Hear It (Sometimes There’s Just So Much To Say)
Don’t Tell Me (That It Don’t Matter Anyway)
Don’t Tell Me (It’s Easier To Never Know)
Don’t Tell Me (’cause I’ve Still Got A Little Hope)
I Can Hear It (That You Might Want Me Back One Day)
Don’t Tell Me (And I Can Be The One To Walk Away)
[Outro]
Walk Away
Walk Away
Walk Away
Walk Away
Don’t Tell Me
No, Don’t Tell Me
