tour de force in 2006 are on display in the new track. Vulnerable yet remarkably relatable lyrics about isolation such as “I dumb it down with Jeopardy and late-night TV/And I don’t even like it” give a contemporary context to the song while driving riffs provide a timeless edge. The track has more pop-punk elements than is typical of Pale Waves, but that didn’t stop lead singer Heather Baron-Graciefrom putting forward an excellent performance. As melancholy rhythms ebb and flow, the singer’s melodic delivery creates an image of melatonin losing its touch and the fear of fireworks.
