HOLLY’s ‘FIX’ sits in that uncomfortable middle ground where attraction starts to feel like obsession, and that’s exactly why it stands out at LOCK. Dark, intimate, and quietly addictive, the track looks at desire not as something dreamy or idealised, but as something far more unsettling – a pull that chips away at control and turns closeness into dependence.
What makes ‘FIX’ so compelling is its restraint. Instead of chasing big, dramatic moments, the production stays tight and controlled: drifting synths, minimal beats, and a glossy calm that lets the tension build slowly. It creates a sense of pressure, like everything is happening just beneath the surface, mirroring the song’s internal conflict.
Lyrically, HOLLY zeroes in on that point where attraction stops feeling optional. Want becomes instinct, chemistry takes over, and emotion starts to feel more like a habit than a choice. By framing love as something addictive rather than romantic, ‘FIX’ avoids easy answers, leaning into the discomfort instead of resolving it. The result feels honest and self-aware without ever sounding distant.
HOLLY’s years of experience – writing, touring, and collaborating across New York, Sydney, and London – quietly shape the track’s cinematic feel. There are flashes of darker pop in the mix, touching on the emotional shadows explored by artists like The Weeknd, but ‘FIX’ never loses its own identity. The confidence here comes from knowing when to pull back, not when to go bigger.
As she continues to carve out space as a solo artist, ‘FIX’ feels like a moment of real clarity. It’s a song that chooses mood over spectacle, tension over release, and emotional nuance over bold statements. In doing so, HOLLY shows she’s not just emerging – she’s settling into an artistic voice that’s unafraid to sit with discomfort and let it speak.
