Ellis Ludwig-Leone talked about "The Hunger": "I think there's something heroic in the process of getting your hopes up time and again, even in the face of constant disappointment.

In the verse, she describes an endless string of bad dates-even the melody is a relentless monotone that leaves her out of breath." Read more about the song and see the official video: bit.ly
