La Roux es un dúo de synthpop de Brixton (Londres, Inglaterra) formado por la cantante y compositora Eleanor Jackson (más conocida como Elly Jackson) y Ben Langmaid, co-productor y co-escritor a la sombra, motivo por el cual Elly es conocida por el nombre del grupo.
Elly y Ben se conocieron en 2006 y su amistad les llevó a empezar a grabar cosas juntos bajo el nombre de "Automan", aunque tenían un sonido más acústico. Dos años después lanzarían, respaldados por la discográfica francesa Kitsuné, su primer sencillo "Quicksand".

verse 2: C#m I won't let you turn around, F# and tell me now, I'm much too proud AC#m To walk away from something when it's dead C#m Do do do your dirty words F# Come out to play when you are hurt AC#m There's certain things that should be left unsaid C#m Tick tick tick tick on the watch F# Life's too short for me to stop AC#m Oh baby, your time is running out C#m I won't let you turn around F# And tell me now, I'm much too proud AC#m All you do is fill be up with doubt
