Yaeji – “Passed Me By”

This week, the producer Yaeji will release her her debut album, With A Hammer. We’ve already written about its lead single “For Granted” and follow-up “Done (Let’s Get It).” Today, Yaeji is back with one more album preview before Friday: “Passed Me By,” which comes with by a video directed by Enayet and Zanzie.

In a recent interview with New York Magazine, Yaeji describes how “Passed Me By” is directed toward her younger self, in particular the Korean-sung lyric “I almost didn’t recognize you”). “She’s always been looking at me, but I was always averting my gaze and rejecting her existence,” Yaeji explains. “And this is the moment I lock eyes with her, and I’m like, You’re there. I see you.”
