Have you ever felt like your emotions are out of control? In “Maybe I’m Psycho” the singer reflects on feeling overcome by emotions. The lyrics describe feeling like they are going crazy because they are overwhelmed. Due to their crazed and wild feelings, they are making questionable decisions, which creates this cycle of everything being chaotic and feeling like there is no way for it to end. By the end, the vocalist acknowledges that they are out of control and that they may be a psycho but that they are trying to mask that. Overall, this is a catchy pop single with a bit of edge that will be stuck in your head and playing on repeat.
The song begins, with intense string strumming and police sirens that add to the dangerous feeling. Then a slightly raspy voice enters and completes the moody vibe, with her dark lyrics. As the chorus starts, the drums begin to build which leads to the perfect payoff when the beat drops. After the first chorus, the producer uses the sound of a gunshot and barrel droppings to enhance the risky and reckless vibe before the vocalist continues. A highlight of the song is the bridge. REBENN knows exactly how to build instrumentals and layer vocals to emphasize a point or add to the intensity of the moment.
