ABOUT THE SONG
What does 'nicotine' mean? The song uses a cigarette habit as a metaphor for a relationship: something you know is bad for you and keep coming back to anyway.
Langley wrote it with Zachary Kale, Jon Nite and Joybeth Taylor, and Will Bundy produced it, as he did the rest of Hungover. It was released March 22, 2024 as a promotional single and became track 4 on Hungover (August 2, 2024).
