Alas, the Era of The Situationship strikes again with Daughter’s latest banger, “What Are We”. Maddi Overy, the genius behind Daughter, is getting real with us about the messy, blurry lines of today’s love stories in this track. It’s all about that age-old question that keeps us up at night: what exactly is going on between us?
In “What Are We,” Daughter taps into those all-too-familiar vibes of not knowing where you stand with someone. It’s like a snapshot of those relationships (if you can call them that?) that are too complicated to label but too intense to ignore. This song nails the frustration and the soul-searching that come with trying to figure out what the heck is happening in your love life.
“What are we we?
Making me feel like I should be sorry
For mis-communicating
But that’s not on me
You said you’ve forgiven me
But I’m not the one to blame”
It’s pretty clear Daughter is speaking to the soul of our generation with this one, throwing us right into the thick of modern romance—or the lack thereof. If you’ve ever found yourself wondering where you stand with someone, this song’s going to hit home.
