Background

edit

"Sunroof" is a collaboration between Dazy and Youre, and was born from a voice memo that Dazy received from Youre.[7] Elaborating on the creation of their song, Youre has said, "I wanted to make a song that captured the feeling of excitement you get when you meet someone that you can't stop thinking about. I wanted to have a product that was fun and high-energy while still being easy to listen to. When I meet someone like this, the thought of them is like an itch in my brain that I can't scratch. So I wanted the song to be catchy so it sticks in your head just like when you're stuck thinking about someone".[8]

Critical reception

edit

Benjamin Kronenberg at Early Rising praised the song and described it as a track that sticks "in your head all day" thanks to the "bright production" by Dazy and Youre's "bubbling and poppy vocals".[8] Miles Opton of Sheesh Media called the song an "immediate ear-worm pop track" that features "crisp production" by Dazy and "high-energy vocal melodies".[9]

The song was also called a contender for song of the summer 2022.[10]
