In her new single, “Okay I Guess,” singer-songwriter She Is Jules covers the feeling of not knowing how to answer the lingering question of how we are during the hard times of our lives. Trying to keep yourself together while feeling like you’re barely hanging on by a thread can be a hard situation to be in, and when asked how you are, is it better to answer with the actual answer of falling apart, or act like everything's fine? With Jules in this situation due to personal reasons at the time of writing this song, “Okay I Guess” looks back onto the emotional dissonance while going through the trying times, and explores how looking perfectly fine on the outside sometimes couldn’t be further from the truth.
“Okay I Guess” not only covers important topics such as mental health struggles and the struggle to accept support, but also is just a great song in general. “Okay I Guess” is not only gut-wrenching to hear, but also really relatable to anyone who’s felt the need to be strong despite the circumstances that are slowly breaking them down. With Jules’ incredibly vulnerable lyrics comes a sense of not being alone in this feeling, which can be the most isolating of them all. Whether it’d be a lack of knowing what to say or being able to function while wanting to push the emotions one feels deep down, Jules hit the nail when it comes to the feelings in “Okay I Guess.”
