Ginger Taylor is back with her second single of the year. The Toronto-by-way-of-New York artist has shared "Arcadia" along with a music video.

A soft, acoustic-led track, "Arcadia" details a first crush that helps its narrator discover her sexuality. "I think 'Arcadia' is a love song that doesn't know what love is yet. I wrote it about my high-school crush (hey, Ms. J!), trying to capture the confused sincerity of a teenage obsession," Taylor says of the track. "Confusion actually played a big part in writing the song — in remembering a woman who was obviously very special to me, I needed to face years of thoughts and desires I had previously spent trying to ignore."

"Arcadia" follows February's single "Starfucker," and will be featured on Taylor's upcoming EP.

Shot by her sister Willa Taylor and partner Will Agnew, the music video for "Arcadia" shows Taylor frolicking through the University of Toronto's campus. Watch it below.
