Maryon King Turns Romantic Frustration Into A Playful Anthem On “BUILD A MAN”

Maryon King captures a very specific kind of romantic frustration on her new single, “BUILD A MAN”.

The track is for anyone who has given a partner the full girlfriend treatment, from fixing his wardrobe and raising his standards to teaching him a little emotional intelligence, only for somebody else to enjoy the finished product.

Rather than dwelling on the disappointment, Maryon King approaches the situation with humour and a playful sense of chaos. “BUILD A MAN” turns the experience into an unhinged anthem for those who feel as though they did all the hard work without receiving any of the rewards.

There is something instantly relatable about its premise. It speaks to the feeling of helping someone grow, watching them become a better partner and then realising that their improved version might be saved for the next relationship.

With its bold concept and knowing attitude, “BUILD A MAN” gives listeners the chance to laugh at an all-too-familiar situation. Maryon King transforms romantic annoyance into something fun, direct and made to be sung along to.
