Dru Chen pens an R&B track about laying one’s heart on the line for something which is never quite guaranteed. Jointly written by Joel Tan of Gentle Bones and Dru Chen, and solely produced by Dru, “Eiffel Tower” is the latest single from the Singapore-based singer-songwriter and speaks about transporting its audience to its namesake and impart that high, giddy feeling you get when experiencing happy moments with a loved one.
With its smooth vocal delivery and soulful arrangement, “Eiffel Tower” redefines a romantic slow jam with confessional sentiments that feel closest to his heart. “It was written during a time of intense vulnerability, when life and love went through tumultuous ups and downs,” shares Dru.
The track starts off slow and steady, the verses are quiet and intimate, a contrast to the bustling, explosive chorus that makes us feel like we’re in celebration of love, especially with Dru singing, “Pray you don’t let me go / ‘Cause who’s gonna catch me / When I fall for you”. Exploring relationships of any kind, while revelling to unexpected twists and turns, the song is also about discovering the world through new lenses and constantly pushing one another to be better.
The song opens with the hook, “It’s all because of your love” and is peppered throughout the rest of the song – in varying degrees of emotion and melody. We also hear a satisfying electric guitar riff in the bridge, representing a culmination of the Pop/R&B track’s wonder and whimsy in this warm feeling we call love.
“Eiffel Tower” shows maturity in both its production and lyrics – inspiring audiences to help each other pursue their dreams instead of tearing them down. “We can choose to come out stronger, more invigorated, and more alive than ever,” Dru observes, “That is the ultimate human experience.”
