We know Fridays are a mess of new releases, but we are loving the new track from Japan, Man. She released her infectious new single "Air Conditioner" today.

The new song is the latest from the Lebanon born-and-bred artist, who released her debut Bad Days EP in 2020. And while the song itself is instantly catchy, the lyrics are very earnest.

"The song is basically written about my relationship with Lebanon, which is where I’m from and where I grew up," says the artist. "It also explores my relationship with being mixed, as I am British/Lebanese and don’t really feel like I belong or truly am anywhere, there’s just always a sensation of disassociation. That’s why that second verse clarified the emotion behind the song for me since a Cedar tree is the national symbol of Lebanon, representative of resilience and strength."
