“Optimist” is the newest single from Sloan Treacy, a song that points out the many flaws and errors a former significant other made that lead to the breaking up of the relationship they were in. Treacy describes the very poor qualities that this person possesses, some being oblivious, narcissistic, and too nonchalant in regards to the relationship, which is why it had to end. What mostly contributed to Treacy wanting to break up with this person is that they did not care about her or their relationship and she did not want to be with someone who disregarded these things despite their importance They were not willing to put in the work to keep the relationship alive, and it is hypocritical for her ex to call themselves an “optimist” when there was no future of them still being together.
The production and instrumentation of “Optimist” progresses from acoustic to guitar pop to pop rock throughout the song’s timeline, making it musically diverse. The first section contains the strumming of a guitar to begin the song, which is shortly followed by more guitars layered with it and the introduction of drums. This then increases to finish out the rest of the single. “Optimist” was very creatively produced and is a perfect mix of pop and alternative music. Treacy is also an amazing vocalist and provides great melodies and harmonies during the song. Her voice is a fantastic match for the genres of the song and to how the instruments are played.
