Eleanor Gebrou gets a little lighter and more playful with her latest single, "Waste My Time." The track is a blend of flirtation, charm, and irresistible vocal energy all in one refreshingly carefree release. Written by Eleanor Gebrou and John Fellner, the song is a departure from the album's emotional heaviness, a celebration of the excitement and uncertainty of a friendship blossoming into something more.
The song has a confident wink from the get go, with cheeky storytelling and a warm sense of self awareness. Eleanor isn't overcomplicating the emotions here, but instead letting the song breathe in a space that feels spontaneous, youthful, and fun. Its lightness is one of its greatest strengths.
What gives the track its pulse is the tension between curiosity and caution, the thrill of wondering whether someone is prepared to take a risk or pass the time. It's relatable without being saccharine, and makes the listening experience feel easy and real.
Throughout the record, Eleanor's signature vocal style is ever-present. The harmonies are stacked to create richness and texture, giving the song a bright, even dreamy feel that matches the flirty tone. The unexpected nod to Disney's The Little Mermaid adds an extra layer of charm, making the track feel inventive without sacrificing its contemporary pop appeal.
