“If The Shoe Fits” offers an introspective view into a person’s self-reflective journey post-breakup. In the aftermath of a messy breakup, nothing looks as put together and healthy as they once seemed. Your mind gravitates towards a reflective healing journey, your relationship had more flaws than you initially believed. Your ex’s behavior during and after your breakup has shown you their true colors to which you were once blind to. Past comforts offer little solace anymore as you realize they are tainted by your ex’s existence. Their constant prodding does little to sway your feelings as you stand firm in abandoning places like your favorite bar. Little things you once did with them taint other experiences. As you move forward, however, you come to understand how much better life is. You could and always can do better than them, no matter what your feelings may throw at you.
“If The Shoe Fits” is an alt indie rock anthem which offers many different working elements to bring this piece together. One of the most standout aspects of this piece is the consistent background vocals. These “ooo’s” almost serve as another instrument for everything to build itself around. Each section change, such as the bridge, changes tone based on the vocals. The instrumentation follows closely behind as everything. The guitar riffs are another noticeable aspect, as they feel reminiscent of early 2000s summer hits. It introduces us to an energetic and invigorating experience to follow along with the narrator’s self reflective journey.
