"At Least It's Something" by Coria is an evocative indie pop dive into self-reflection after a breakup. The speaker of this song uses tantalizing lyrics to express the lasting impact they know they made on their ex. Words like "get it out, let it linger" urge the speaker's ex to give them the validation they both crave and know they deserve. Through this confidence bleeds a sense of doubt with lyrics like "say I'm fine, cross my fingers" as echoes of intimacy and longing pulse through repetition throughout the tune. In a breakup, there is no clear-cut correct way to feel, and this track beautifully tackles the sleepless nights and confusion that comes with romantic loss.
Acoustic guitar starts the track, giving an intimate warmth to the song that lasts throughout its entirety. A testament to the vulnerability of post-breakup emotion, Coria's throaty vocals feel personal and expressive. The first verse hits the ear conversationally, with singing that borders a whisper in its fluctuations. Through the pre-chorus, the song builds in energy and Coria's articulation grows melodic as strings and a high whistling melody pepper their way into the song. From that point, drums emerge, emphasizing the strong wave of emotion felt in the lyrics. Layered vocals bring an all-consuming feeling to the song.
