"Crystalised" is the debut single by English indie pop band the xx. It was released on 27 April 2009 as the first single from their 2009 self-titled debut album. “Crystalised” is about a complicated relationship, and ultimately uses crystallization as a metaphor for love. It’s the lead single from The xx’s eponymous debut album. Romy and Oliver wrote the song when they were 17 and The xx only had written 5 songs. They helped each other finish their verses, so it is fitting that the vocals weave in, out, and on top of each other.
