2021 single by Glaive

It was released by Interscope Records on March 17, 2021, as the EP's lead single. Inspired by online school and quarantine, Glaive wrote the song with its producers and engineers, Cashheart, Glasear, Kidicarus, Kimj, and Whethan. Glaive recorded it himself in a Los Angeles studio as Prash 'Engine-Earz' Mistry handled the song's mixing and mastering.
A hyperpop song, "I Wanna Slam My Head Against the Wall" is driven by an acoustic guitar that develops into a synthesizer-heavy glitch and dance drop during the song's chorus. Its lyrics discuss declining serotonin levels, Glaive's alcohol-infatuated love interest, and self-harm. Its chorus increases in pace as it is sung. The song received positive reviews upon its release; several publications included it in their year-end lists of the best songs of 2021. A music video directed by Steve Cannon premiered alongside the song's release and depicts Glaive singing in a house and neighborhood.

Why this record matters
The subject matters to the general reference register because the source frames it as 2021 single by Glaive. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
