Tove Lo’s “Blood In Your Eyes” might be as exciting as the release of Grand Theft Auto 6, and fans have been waiting for GTA6 for years.

“Blood In Your Eyes” is about a woman who has fallen for a local criminal, and it’s a fun adrenaline rush for her. At the same time, she knows that he’s definitely hiding something. Tove Lo’s track is very clever and catchy, and definitely fits the criminal theme of the Grand Theft Auto series.

Sonically, “Blood In Your Eyes” is a synth-pop track with strong retro inspirations. The drum machine beat feels very nostalgic, and I love how funky the synth bassline is. Tove Lo encourages the listener to “party hard,” and “Blood In Your Eyes” definitely makes me want to.

“Blood In Your Eyes” balances being a fun pop song with being a track on the GTA6 album. She mentions bank robbery in the line “Deep scars, hunger for green bags,” and bank robbery is very common in the Grand Theft Auto series of games.

Overall, this track is definitely a good time. I have a feeling that a lot of fandoms will latch onto this for pairings that include a good character and a “bad boy” (or girl) type, because it’s practically genetically engineered for that. I’ll definitely be coming back to this, and it makes me curious about the other GTA6 songs.
