As someone who is about to enter her mid-twenties later this year, Libby Whitehouse’s newest single “Something” is a song I can deeply relate to. The track talks about the constant pressure of feeling like we’re supposed to have everything figured out in our twenties. The lyrics, “We’re all trying to make it // (Fake it till we’re famous burning all the pages) // Raise em high to the restless nights ‘cause we know one day we’ll be missing right now,” really sum up what it feels like to be navigating life as a twenty-something. We often spend many of these years trying to plan and figure out the trajectory of our lives, but sometimes it’s just important to live in the moment because all we really have is now. Speaking about her new song, Whitehouse says, “Being a girl in your early twenties feels like the best and worst thing ever, but we’re all trying our best and without realizing it, we all go through the same things. This song is to let you know that it’s ok to feel 100 things at once when trying to be ‘something’.” Overall, I think Whitehouse’s clever and honest lyricism have done the job once again, because “Something” is a song that everyone in their twenties needs to hear.
“Something” is a fun, summer pop song with lyrics that I’m sure everyone at one point in their lives could relate to. The song starts off with electric guitar strums and Whitehouse’s unmistakable voice, prepping listeners for the emotional, up and down roller coaster that is one’s twenties. Just as the first chorus kicks in, a drum beat drops, adding a slight touch of angst that matches the feelings of frustration that Whitehouse belts out. It’s the kind of song that you sing at the top of your lungs after a rough day. Whitehouse described it best when she said, “Make sure you scream it with your friends, it helps!”
