GREEN APPLE’s fourth album, ANTENNA, was released in the summer of 2023.
Its lead track is also titled ANTENNA.

The lyrics are crafted with a diversity that allows them to shift into many colors depending on the listener’s interpretation.
One way to read them is as a positive life-affirming anthem: even after heartbreak, the next love is surely out there—trust your own antenna and keep moving forward.
It’s the kind of song that, if you listen to it in the morning, will keep you energized all day.

But listening to these lyrics—urging you to keep moving forward and search for a better version of yourself—you can’t help but feel, “I can’t let myself lose!” It’s a powerful song that gives you momentum.
