No dia 13 de maio, site e redes sociais intituladas The S.L.P. foram divulgadas através das redes oficiais do Kasabian. A novidade se tratava do recém projeto solo de Sergio Pizzorno, que o nomeou com as iniciais do próprio nome. Um teaser de 30 segundos e uma imagem do rosto do guitarrista indicavam o lançamento de uma música: Favourites – com estreia marcada para o dia seguinte (14), nas rádios britânicas BBC e Radio X. O single Favourites conta com a participação da rapper inglesa Little Simz, que segundo Sergio, a colaboração surgiu através de um amigo comum entre os dois, mas que ele sempre quis trabalhar com a cantora.
Nas entrevistas realizadas no dia da estreia da track, Sergio deixou claro que o novo projeto é experimental, uma exploração de estilos e mundos que agora ele pode visitar e continuar trabalhando enquanto o Kasabian está em uma pausa de um ano até o próximo álbum – a turnê do último álbum da banda, For Crying Out Loud, terminou em setembro de 2018. Pizzorno também disse que “tem muito mais, há mais por vir” quando questionado se haverá mais músicas para o The S.L.P..
“Favourites é sobre identidade na era digital. Vivemos em uma época em que a maioria das pessoas finge ser outra pessoa por meio de sua persona online e de alguma forma essa identidade falsa nos afasta mais de quem realmente somos. Eu estava interessado em como o namoro online é uma espécie de reflexo dessa crise de identidade. Através da velocidade e estrutura da música eu quis capturar a sensação do verdadeiro você dentro da sua cabeça, tentando sair e escapar durante um primeiro encontro. É um diálogo entre duas pessoas que estão chegando a um acordo com o seu verdadeiro eu, através da interação digital se tornando física.”

Letra: She was my favourite / Yeah, she was my favourite / Well, she was my favourite / And I hope tonight it stays that way / But you’re on thin ice / You’re on thin ice / You’re on cracked ice and on a slippery road / Now then, what’s your poison? Are you even listening? / Sat there with your fish bites and your eye lids flickering / Taking photos of your side dish, you’re so modern and you’re free / When I piece this all together, I said “this ain’t no life for me” / Can’t you see? / Now I don’t know why I swiped it / Now I don’t know what to do / Now I’ve got to spend my evening sitting here with you / There’s a discrepancy in the bill, there’s a discrepancy in the bill / I think I paid too much / She was my favourite / Yeah, she was my favourite / Well, she was my favourite / And I hope tonight it stays that way / But you’re on thin ice / You’re on thin ice / You’re on cracked ice and on a slippery road / Where do I fit into this, where do I fit into this, where do I fit into this? / With all your noise / Where do I fit into this, where do I fit into this, where do I fit into this? / With all your noise / She was in a hot mess / He probably wanted to see her in a hot dress / His mind is focussed on other things like / When is it the time to initiate / Got a very big ego and pack of cigarettes / Order what you want but it won’t be on my cheque / She was thinking about the future in her long term mind / Sucks cause he’s never been a long term guy / How the f*ck did I just take the wrong turn, I’m stuck / This date is a slow burn, I just don’t learn / Tell me how the scenario doesn’t come with escape plans / Need a little back door, she just chat more / Bout her dreams ambitions on a deep one / Talking bout the world and sh*t / Tell me what you stand for / Forcing a connection is a no no / Plus you look taller in your profile pic / How the f*ck did I just take a wrong turn / This date is a slow burn, I just don’t learn / Now I don’t know why I swiped it / Now I don’t know what to do / Now I’ve got to spend my evening talking shit to you / They ain’t your candles, don’t blow me out / They’re not your candles, it’s not your birthday / They’re not your candles, it’s not your birthday, so please don’t blow ‘em out girl / He was my favourite / He was my favourite / He was my favourite / And I hope tonight it stays that way / She was my favourite / Yeah, she was my favourite / Well, she was my favourite / And I hope tonight it stays that way / But you’re on thin ice / You’re on thin ice / You’re on thin ice / You’re on thin ice / Thin ice / You’re on cracked ice and on a slippery road / Bring the bill to me
