Skyreaders leans straight into the mess on “Even When It’s Wrong,” a late-night R&B / alt-pop cut that knows it’s playing with fire, and does it anyway. This is a song about choosing the wrong person on purpose, eyes open, heart racing, fully aware of how it’s going to end. If toxic love had a soundtrack for night drives and unanswered texts, this would be in heavy rotation.
The lyrics don’t sugarcoat anything. From the opening lines, you’re dropped into a push-and-pull dynamic where desire keeps winning over logic. Phrases like “your eyes are poison, your kiss is a lie” and “we’ve got no future, but it’s worth the lies” hit because they’re brutally honest. There’s no pretending this is healthy, just admitting it feels good anyway.

What makes the track stick is how catchy it stays while sitting in that darkness. The chorus is built to loop in your head, especially with the central line repeating like a bad decision you keep making: even when it’s wrong, it feels right. It’s sensual without being glossy, emotional without falling apart, and that balance is hard to pull off.
Skyreaders keeps things moody and sleek. You can imagine this playing through dim dashboard lights, rain streaking the windshield, bass humming low while everything else fades out. The production leaves space for the vocals to feel close, almost confessional, like something you weren’t supposed to hear but did anyway.

By the time the song closes on “I’d rather lose than be alone,” it doesn’t feel dramatic. It feels real. “Even When It’s Wrong” doesn’t try to teach a lesson, it just documents the spiral. And that’s exactly why it works for situational playlists, late-night listening, and anyone who’s ever gone back knowing better.
