Song Information: This song is diverse from the other songs because of its theme. Anxiety and depression is a very crucial health problem that requires urgent help and should never be neglected. However we still consider mental health as something trivial and are not aware about the seriousness it poses. But this powerful duo has brilliantly brought out these facts and the impacts and effects of isolation and disquietude through this track. The song has a flavour of self-deprecating humour and the experience and the feeling of anxiety. The beat of this track is intensely snappy and feet tapping. The use of just the guitars with the dulcet and mellow vocals imparts that unplugged sensation to this track. Julia and Selena are beyond praise. Selena as usual keeps us hooked onto this song with her mellifluous voice. Julia’s performance is stellar and spell binding. The plucky rhythm, the thought provoking lyrics and the mesmerising crooning compel us to listen to this song on loop.
