"Insomnia" is a song by American singer Daya, released as a single on March 8, 2019, through Interscope Records.[2] The song was produced by Oscar Görres, and its music video was released on March 26, 2019.[3] It peaked in top 15 in Czech Republic and Norway.
Daya described the song as a "gritty club pop anthem about missing the person you love".[3] She told Billboard that the song is partially about having "serious sleep issues from touring and everything". Along with its meaning of having a "new love interest", the song's "trance music roots are intended to simulate an all-night party and give the song a third meaning", with Daya saying she also wanted to take the song in a "rave direction".[2]
Critical reception
Billboard said the track had "shuddering pop production" and an "oscillating beat",[2] while Idolator called it "one of the best pop songs of 2019" as well as "ruthless catchy and endlessly danceable."[3] Paper described the song as a "nervy, heart-racing bop with a jittery beat (a little reminiscent of "Disturbia") about being unable to sleep without an absent lover".[4]
