\nWhen your love life is as disposable as a pair of dimestore shades, all you can really do\u2026is dance along to John K\u2019s new energetic song, \u2018Cheap Sunglasses,\u2019 a track he tells HL is his \u2018one of my favorite\u2019 ever!
\nMany familiar with the gospel of the Cheap Sunglasses will recall how, in 1979, ZZ Top bestowed the blessing in song, encouraging the devoted to \u201chit those streets a-running \/ and try to beat the masses \/ and go get yourself some cheap sunglasses.\u201d For decades since, there hasn\u2019t been a hymnal worthy of such inexpensive eyewear\u2014until today. The creative tour de force known as John K has delivered the good word with his own song, \u201cCheap Sunglasses.\u201d By turning the titular sunglasses into a clever metaphor for his love life \u2013 one that breaks or gets misplaced like a knockoff pair of Ray-bans \u2014 John K admits he can never invest something more expensive \u201cbecause I can\u2019t keep anything \/ can\u2019t keep you.\u201d
\nSo, how did your new favorite song come about? \u201cWriting \u2018Cheap Sunglasses\u2019 was the most fun I\u2019ve ever had in a session,\u201d John shares EXCLUSIVELY with HollywoodLife. \u201cI can put myself right back in the moment we came up with the title. Someone in the room said they don\u2019t buy expensive sunglasses because they always lose them, and someone else said, \u201ccould that be something?\u201d so we ran with it. This is one of my favorite songs ever, and I\u2019m so ready for my fans to hear it.\u201d
\nJohn K has been making sure that his fans have had the best year possible despite what\u2019s been going on in 2020. \u201cCheap Sunglasses\u201d comes on the heels of his single, \u201cHappiness.\u201d The joyous bop earned him the title of \u201cone of the breakout stars of 2020\u201d by Idolator, and listeners clearly agree. Since its release in September, \u201cHappiness\u201d has racked up over 1.5 million streams, his fastest-growing hit yet. He started off the year with \u201cif we never met,\u201d a song with more than 250 million streams and a version featuring Kelsea Ballerini.\n<\/div>\n
