“Wish That You Were Here” by Dasha is a woeful ballad with the polished commercial sound of a well-seasoned artist. While Dasha is only 22-years-old, her songwriting skills go beyond those years to showcase raw vulnerability and self-exploratory honesty.
In this new release, her introspection comes in waves of regret, embarrassment, and self-loathing. All of these unpleasant feelings share a table in breakups, regardless of who experiences them. The rising TikTok star takes it a step further by delving into her own disbelief for how far she really fell when she was in love. Dasha leaves her declaration on a questioning upturn; the notes are pinned to a chord that never resolves, much like her own feelings.
