It's never easy to realize your mistakes in a relationship, especially once the romance is over. "Hindsight" by Sage Elton explores the way taking your partner for granted can haunt you when you look back at the past. The speaker dives into vulnerable spirals of self-reflection with lyrics exploring regrets like, "how I wish I saw all the good things." Memories, dreams, and aspirations as a couple are presented alongside explanations of moving on "you've been good after we drowned." This bittersweet song takes on love and regrets, standing in solidarity with those who have loved and lost. It reminds listeners to embrace the good in their relationships while they can.
Pulsing low chords and high, enticing vocals draw listeners into the cinematic start of the song before percussion folds in. A brightness shines through the uplifting, ambient atmosphere of the instrumentals of the chorus as Sage's voice takes on a catchy vocal pattern that will have you humming the tune long after the track ends. Electronic instrumentals and the way the verses carry a reflective tone of recitation give a nostalgic sound to the song, mirroring the feeling of looking back held in the lyrics. The singing truly glows with layers of vocals blending harmoniously with the groovy instrumentals.
