Vicki Lovelee is a Chinese-Canadian alt-pop sensation based in Markham, Ontario. She merges the luminosity of pop with brooding shadows of dark drama and orchestral instrumentations. Her latest single, “Click,” stirs anticipation for a new album in fall 2024.
When you hear the word “Click,” you usually think of three different contexts for the word, but they all relate to the meaning of the song. “Click” – for pieces to fit together. In this case, Vicki is speaking about not clicking with certain people. “Click” – like a computer mouse when you’re selecting something. It’s the same for the meaning of the song – the feeling of wanting to be chosen; to be “clicked” on. The final word is clique: a group of people with shared interests who don’t let others join.I wrote “Click” because I started feeling like an outsider in the music industry. Sometimes I feel like no matter what I do or how hard I try, nothing ever clicks. Even though I’m not in school anymore, there are still social groups or “cliques” everywhere. And the music industry is no exception. There’s always cliques that everyone wants to be a part of. And because I wasn’t part of it, I felt like such an outsider.
