About this song
- "Hey Homie" is a high-energy electronic music track by American duo Sofi Tukker, featuring a blend of drum and bass rhythms with subtle bossa nova influences. The song's composition reflects the musical interests of its creators, Sophie Hawley-Weld and Tucker Gilmore, who described it as: “one of our favorite songs on the album. It really represents both of us in that I (Sophie) have always wanted to make bossa nova and Tuck has always wanted to make drum and bass, and we managed to do both with this one.” The lyrics describe an unrequited love that never develops into a romantic relationship, a theme reflected in the duo's own friendship which they celebrate through the music video for "Hey Homie". The visuals feature footage from throughout the band's history, interspersed with low-key scenes of natural beauty as a complement to the fast-paced track. The band writes: “We didn't originally write Hey Homie about each other, but for the video, we wanted to make a tribute to our friendship. It's such a unique and special friendship--we love each other lowkey like homies, it's special even though it's not romantic. We wanted to celebrate that kind of love too, the kind between friends that will always have an enduring bond.” .
