LOVE YOU LATER – “Mouth To Mouth”

Love You Later, the shimmering alt-pop project of Nashville-based artist Lexi Aviles, returns with “Mouth To Mouth”—a cathartic, cinematic reflection on loss, longing, and the futile act of resuscitating a dying relationship. The track captures that out-of-control feeling of trying to save something that’s already slipping away, like giving love CPR long after the pulse is gone.

Sonically, “Mouth To Mouth” is an intoxicating blend of airy synths, glimmering guitar riffs, and Lexi’s signature ethereal vocals. The production feels expansive yet deeply intimate—each note suspended between hope and heartbreak. Her voice soars with an almost desperate sincerity, echoing the push-and-pull dynamic of love on the brink. Lyrically, the song balances humor and heartbreak (“kinda like giving the relationship CPR, haha”) with self-awareness, transforming emotional chaos into something poetic and universally relatable.

Love You Later has long mastered the art of building dreamlike soundscapes that pulse with emotional depth, and “Mouth To Mouth” is no exception. It sits comfortably alongside artists like MUNA, The Japanese House, and Maggie Rogers—alt-pop visionaries who turn vulnerability into power.

Following her acclaimed project From the Window Seat, which earned features on Spotify’s Indie Pop and New Pop Picks, and praise from tastemakers like Ones to Watch, The Line of Best Fit, and EUPHORIA, Lexi continues to evolve her sound while staying rooted in emotional honesty. Collaborating with members of The Band CAMINO and Madi Diaz, her music feels increasingly refined yet still drenched in feeling.

Mouth To Mouth is heartbreak rendered in pastel tones—glittering, raw, and achingly human. It’s a song for anyone still gasping for air after love’s last breath.
