Caroline talked about the song and using it as the album's name on a V Magazine interview:

> *"I was having adrenaline surges right around the time I was starting to work on this music. I was traveling constantly and my personal life was about to become totally uprooted. One morning in England, I was lying awake at 6 AM, watching the sun come up, and had an adrenaline surge for no reason. My heart started beating really fast—that fight or flight adrenaline response you can feel between your ribs. It’s like you’re being pricked from the inside. I thought, ‘How do I describe this feeling? It’s a… pang.’ Then I started thinking about that word. It’s only really used to describe a feeling of lack. We use it to describe hunger, envy, desire, nostalgia and jealousy — all those things that are forms of hunger."*

## Lyrics

[Verse 1]

There's a look in your eyes when you're hungry for me

It's a beautiful knife cutting right where the fear should be

[Chorus]

Into me

Pang, and I go

Into you

Pang, and you go

Into me

Pang, and I go

Into you

Pang, and you go

Into me

[Verse 2]

Tell me what you're afraid of

Tell me what night is made of

What can I not destroy for you?

Color the night electric

Killing me like a secret

I open the door and you run through

[Chorus]

Into me

Pang, and I go

Into you

Pang, and you go

Into me

Pang, and I go

Into you

Pang, and you go

Into me

[Post-Chorus]

Color the night electric

Killing me like a secret

I open the door and you run through

[Chorus]

Into me

Pang, and I go

Into you

Pang, and you go

Into me

[Bridge]

(Tell me what you're afraid of)

There's a look in your eyes when you're hungry for me

(Tell me what you're afraid of)

It's a beautiful knife cutting right where the fear should be

[Chorus]

Into me

Pang, and I go

Into you

Pang, and you go

Into me

Pang, and I go

Into you

Pang, and you go

Into me

[Post-Chorus]

Color the night electric

Killing me like a secret

I open the door and you run through

[Chorus]

Into me

Pang, and I go

Into you

Pang, and you go

Into me

[Outro]

Into you (Pang)

Into me (Pang)

Into you (Pang)

Into me (Pang)

Oh, woah, oh

Into me (Pang)

Into you (Pang)
