Magdalia's song "Housewife" takes listeners through post-breakup feelings of catharsis and acceptance. This song is about standing up after you have been wronged and making the decision that you will no longer be the only one experiencing the hurt from the fallout of someone else's actions. Its lyrics are a message of finality as the speaker says, "you can't break what's already broken", boldly declaring an end to any damage their ex has caused. Rejecting responsibilities and ties to their ex-partner, the message pushes aside romantic or maternal roles that were once forced upon the speaker. Allow yourself to get lost in post-breakup feeling with this emotional and strong track.
Glowing, ambient chords open the song, setting the stage for a sonic expression of anger and resilience. Magdalia's soulful, breathy vocals start off slow with an immersive atmosphere to her tone. Haunting and assured, her singing is bold in the chorus. She distinctly articulates each word, infusing a feeling of power into the lyrics. Spanning highs and lows, the singing skillfully works through each word, the words taking on the punchy spirit of reclaiming control. Percussion picks up throughout the song, complimenting the strength of the singing with its progression. Cinematic and strong, this is the perfect song to play when you need to remember to put yourself first.
