Beabadoobee has shared '10:36' from her forthcoming album Beatopia. The new cut is a sweet love song that rushes by in a blur of guitar and synth that imitate the sensation of having butterflies in the stomach.

Quite adorably, the song is about how Bea needs human contact in order to be able to sleep.

‘10:36’ was written after ‘Fake It Flowers’ and just before ‘Our Extended Play’, and I had envisioned it to be on that EP, but I was just sitting on that riff for ages and then I properly made a demo during lockdown. It was called 10:36 because that was the time I finished writing it. It’s basically about how I have this weird dependency on human contact to sleep,” Bea explains.
