Lauren Presley's latest pop track "Nice Guy" chronicles her experiences with men that initially seemed to be "nice" and supportive, but later, would turn out to be manipulative and disingenuous. She grapples with self-blame, resentment and pain from falling for people that did not actually turn out to be different from the rest of her former lovers. If you have also dealt with a string of terrible exes that tried to portray themselves in a better light until you got together, this song will hit deeply. Between infectious pop hooks and storytelling lyricism, Presley brings you along on her journey of heartbreak and realization.
Presley starts off the song "Nice Guy" with describing how this guy would push her to the side and ignore his phone when out with his friends. In the pre-chorus, she gets vulnerable with the lyrics, "I still blame myself for falling / Held on way too long for nothing." Sometimes, even when we know we deserve to be treated better, we hold onto the relationship. In the engaging chorus, Presley expresses the regret she has for the relationship and the anger that she has for him to faking that "nice guy" persona. This message is communicated through upbeat pop production and emotive vocals.
