In Their Words: “‘Up For Air’ is a song about going through tough times, but also knowing that youâre in the exact place youâre meant to be. Sometimes it can be hard to accept that things are the way they are and your only job is to surrender. The lyrics for this song came quickly, but composing it as a full band took a while. We tried many different tempos and vibes for the song over the course of a year and finally landed on an upbeat and happy vibe in the studio. Ultimately the song is saying that whatever youâre going through, things will work out if you take a deep breath and come up for air every once in a while.” — Lena Schiffer, Laney Lou and the Bird Dogs
