Story Behind The Song
I wanted to write desire as something you knowingly expose yourself to rather than something that simply happens to you. "Contaminate Me" came from that reckless moment of knowing someone may be terrible for you and wanting them closer anyway.
Song Description
"Contaminate Me" is dark, provocative alternative pop driven by a tense rhythmic pulse, biting guitar and an intimate low female vocal. Physical attraction is framed as exposure and contamination, turning desire into something invasive, addictive and deliberately reckless. The production balances hypnotic restraint with flashes of aggression, giving the song a modern, slightly dangerous edge.

Lyrics
I can smell you on my sheets... in my hair
You leave trace amounts, pieces of you.
Residue
I still find ghosts of you when you are not here
Your kiss was the catalyst
Your kiss
(Contaminate me)
Your kiss
Was the catalyst
How much of you
can I absorb through my fingertips
Osmosis
You are more than under my skin
Your kiss was the catalyst
Your kiss
(Contaminate me)
Your kiss
Was the catalyst
You can leave but I am still with you
Chemically altered (contaminated)
How much of me can you take before this is
Volatile
Your kiss was the catalyst
Your kiss
(Contaminate me)
Your kiss
Was the catalyst
Contaminate me
