Friend breakups can hurt just as much, if not more than a relationship breakup. All the groundwork laid out just crumbles and you question if it was ever really worth it at all. As sad as it is, sometimes people truly aren’t meant to be in our lives forever. We can’t pause our growth mourning the ones meant to stay in the past, we have to move forward. EMME’s new song “No Really, I’m Good” is all about realizing you’ve moved on and are much better off without the friends who tear you down. It’s an indie pop anthem full of bright acoustic guitars, a chugging rhythm and lyrics that explore the power of healing. It was made to remind us that sure, this might suck now but it’s exactly what needs to happen for you to find joy. If you’ve ever outgrown someone in your life, this is the song for you.
“No Really, I’m Good” is the breath of fresh air you need after unloading the weight you should’ve never had to carry on your shoulders. “I’m feeling light as a feather so much better since I got you out.” She took inspiration from artists like HAIM and Maggie Rogers, but added her own unique style that leaves this track feeling like a breath of fresh air. It’s upbeat and carefree, leaving you wondering why the loss ever affected you at all. I love that instead of dwelling, EMME explored the positive spin on losing a friend and turned it into a bop! The hook is so catchy it will have you moving on before the song’s over. “Honey I’m, honey I’m good. Now that you’re gone, I’ve been sleeping like a baby.”
