Apple Pie

In 'Apple Pie,' XYLØ explores the complexities and uncertainties of falling in love. The song opens with a playful yet skeptical tone, as the narrator's partner compliments her, saying she's 'hot like apple pie.' Despite his charming words, she finds it hard to believe him, hinting at a history of mistrust or past disappointments. The metaphor of being 'hot like apple pie' evokes a sense of warmth and comfort, yet the narrator's hesitation suggests that love, for her, is not as simple or sweet as it might seem.

The recurring imagery of a 'seven-forty-seven in the sky' symbolizes the sudden and unexpected nature of love. Just as a plane appears out of nowhere, her feelings for her partner have taken her by surprise. This unexpected arrival of love is both thrilling and terrifying, as indicated by the internal conflict she experiences. Her mind tells her to 'run, baby, run,' reflecting a fear of getting hurt again, yet she finds herself irresistibly drawn to her partner.

As the song progresses, the narrator admits that falling in love is 'easier said than done.' Despite her fears and past mistakes, she begins to believe in her partner's words and starts to fall in love 'little by little.' The repetition of 'one hundred million and one' underscores the idea that love is a continuous journey filled with countless attempts and failures. However, when she is with her partner, everything else fades away, and it's just 'me and you.' This intimate connection offers a glimmer of hope that perhaps this time, love will be different.
