Parker Matthews Brings A Provocative Beat With Latest Single ‘What You Wanna Do?’

Situation-ships are difficult, but Parker Matthews has put all of our thoughts and feelings into words with the second single off his forthcoming EP, “What You Wanna Do?” Coming off of the hype from Parker’s debut single, fans are excited for this next release.

Similar to the first single, “What You Wanna Do?” showcases Parker’s signature neon-hued electric pop sound while providing a new perspective on a relationship. It highlights the case of liking someone and knowing that they like you back, but they won’t make the move to take the relationship to the next level. This single will have you wishing you were at an ‘80s roller rink holding hands with your potential significant other, skating under the disco ball, hoping that he or she is going to pop the question at any moment.

Another important topic that this song explores is the toxicity of today’s dating and hookup culture. The illusion of “it’s cool to not care” and going with the flow gets destroyed with that one question – What are we? People want to feel in control of their emotions, but Parker’s single gives us that space of air to feel free and do what you wanna do. With it being a very topical subject, there is no better time than now for this song to be top of your list.

Kicking off the song with a bang, the single opens with an ascending drum beat into electronic synths, immediately catching the listener’s attention and enticing him or her with fresh, melodic lyrics. It’s electrifying and illicitly desirable. You will feel entranced with every beat and line –

Don’t tell me what I need to know

There’s something possible here, let it show

If you’re not afraid to be you, I can be me too

Watch what we gonna do

It’s feeling like the energy is right with you

Give me a pass tonight, live like your last tonight

Just admit to your intuition its true

Give me a pass tonight, live like your last tonight

I know that you’re in the mood

So why don’t you do what you wanna do?

Don’t be shy, don’t be rude

So why don’t you do what you wanna do?

“When something casual has the potential to turn into something more, people tend to run away… this record is about seeing the beauty of a relationship and not being afraid to be in one.” – Parker Matthews

There is no easy way to put these emotions into words, but Parker has taken on the challenge for us. He wants his listeners to know that they aren’t alone in these strange and confusing feelings, and give space to reflect through music.

“What You Wanna Do?” will be Parker’s second single release of 2021 and off of ‘No Regular Love,’ the highly anticipated debut EP about falling in love, heartbreak, and how there is nothing normal about that special connection. He has worked hard to create this masterpiece of music and is excited to share his experiences with the world and find commonalities in all of our irregular loves.
