<\/div>\n

Oscar Scheller and Lily Allen<\/a> express all the existential angst you feel when you\u2019re waiting to hear back from someone and your phone is dying on Scheller\u2019s new track, \u201c1%.\u201d \u201cThree dots, they can mean anything,\u201d he sings of the ominous \u201csomeone\u2019s typing\u201d glyph on most phones early in the song, over a plucky backdrop.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, after the \u201cphone dying\u201d song chimes in, Allen explains her tentativeness to reply to him as she sings about how her relationship with Scheller was \u201cno strings attached\u201d and how he has trumped up the idea of their love in his head. \u201cDon\u2019t understand what you meant,\u201d the sing together in the chorus. \u201cLet me know now, \u2019cause I\u2019m only on one percent.\u201d<\/p>\n

The song will appear on Scheller\u2019s upcoming album, HTTP404<\/em>, which is due out September 6th. The record features collaborations with many of the artists Scheller has worked with as a songwriter and producer, including Pawws, Vera Hotsauce, Jevon, and Havelock.<\/p>\n

For Allen, he based \u201c1%\u201d on a somewhat true story. \u201cI wrote this song after getting really lost in the suburbs of Stockholm on my way back from the studio \u2019cause my phone died,\u201d he told The Fader<\/a><\/em>. \u201cIt was inspired mostly by a conversation I was having with a girl who was taking ages to reply when I was on one percent. Then I made friends with Lily and thought she\u2019d sound really good on it which she does.\u201d<\/p>\n

Allen put out her most recent album, No Shame<\/em>, last year. She told Rolling Stone<\/em> she was especially proud of the song \u201cCake\u201d on the album because it was optimistic. \u201cI\u2019d been really fucking depressed for the past few years, so yeah, [it\u2019s been hard to be optimistic],\u201d she said. \u201cI mean, it was a relief, not because of it being good for the album, but personally. It\u2019s just like, \u2018Oh, I haven\u2019t written something that makes me want to slit my wrists. It must mean that the light at the end of the tunnel is making itself apparent or the horizon is getting closer or whatever.’\u201d<\/p>\n
