The right kind of love connection can feel almost holy. On mazie’s new single, “Heaven Is Your Lips,” the pop singer explores that idea, drawing parallels between religion and lust, all over the ethereal sounds of some 80s-style pop. 

mazie lays it all out from the very start of the song, declaring, “Heaven is your lips on mine” over some angelic chimes that bring to mind classic Cyndi Lauper — or an After Hours-era The Weeknd. 

“God, I’m seeing God when we kiss,” she sings seductively, calling the touch of her lover her “favorite sin.” It’s a familiar analogy — Madonna famously sang that the sound of her partner’s name was “like a prayer” — but mazie’s earnestness puts a fresh spin on it. The lyrics about bruised knees and breathy sighs are delivered with a sweetness that matches the uplifting production. 

“‘Heaven Is Your Lips’ was an emotional reprieve in both my life and for my creative process making this project,” mazie said in a statement about the track. “This song started in my bedroom from a splice loop and the line ‘heaven just might be your lips’ that I had written in my

notes after starting to see someone new. It let me take a moment to enjoy all these new feelings about love after going through a diabolical breakup — and gave me a moment of pure joy while writing after months of tearing my hair out making other songs.”

She added, “‘Heaven Is Your Lips’ is for car rides with the windows down and in moments of i-have-a-new-crush-mania. I love this song and kissing and I hope you do too!”

“Heaven Is Your Lips” is the first single off of mazie’s upcoming EP, Glitter Tears, due out next year — her first project in three years. With a retro-fresh sound and lyrics that perfectly emulate that “crushing so hard, it’s my new religion” feeling, “Heaven Is Your Lips” is the perfect re-introduction for the artist. mazie’s return can’t come soon enough!
