On Left Hand, Mancari offers us a collection of songs that should be played in moments when we are in need of reassurance and encouragement.

No song exemplifies this better than the ebullient track 'Over and Over,' which is a reminder to friends that happiness doesn’t need to be fleeting.

“I wanted to write a queer pop song that has meat on its bones,” they say.

Inspired by one of many reckless and joyful hangs with dear friends in Nashville, the enlivening pop song makes a promise to them, and to the greater community Mancari embraces on this album.

“There is something to the feeling/ head hanging out of the window/ being ok that we don’t know,” sung on the chorus over a beat replete with congas and shakers. What follows is a promise to anyone who ever feels like the greatest moments of their life are disappearing in the rear-view: “We can have it like we used to, over and over and over and over again.”
