Someone feeling suffocated by the crowded streets and fast paced city life that they're craving wanting to move 'back to the country' so they can feel peaceful and their own authentic self. The beat and build of the track reflects a sense of urgency to highlight the lyrics, with the pedal steel creating the emotion of dreaming to leave the city to be free, keeping a country music element to a rockier sound. Making the track a great driving song for a road trip!
Stemmed from the fact Taynee noticed people would always politely ask ‘oh but why are you single’ as if there must be something wrong. So she began to think of all the little things about herself that could potentially annoy someone. The song is essentially full with all the elements you wouldn’t put on a dating app or wouldn’t advertise about yourself and Taynee has openly put her annoying traits into a song to let everybody know, embracing her flaws.
Heavy Air has an ambience around Taynee’s metaphor for someone getting anxiety. The song's lyrics highlight feeling trapped because of someone else’s lies, which then stops you from being able to speak your own truth. ‘Heavy Air’ meaning there’s no space left for your side of the story when the air has already been clouded by other people’s judgment. You let your emotions take over as you can no longer calm down. The tension builds in the music as the song goes on which really reflects this emotion of anxiousness.
Taynee wrote the lyrically brutal, upbeat song "You Think You're All That" when she was a teenager about a friendship turned sideways. It’s filled with the reasons behind the blissfully unaware toxic friendship ending as the trust couldn’t be rebuilt. Writing this song was Taynee’s way of getting out her emotions. The song directly addresses the ex-friend giving them a reality check, hitting some home truths. It’s all the words she could never express to the person’s face.

A love you didn’t know how good you had till it was gone. The story behind the song tells us about a relationship that outgrew each-other as they weren't willing to evolve together, resulting in someone getting left behind... You constantly think about them, knowing you made a mistake letting them leave without you. But all you can do now is wish them well, slightly hoping they will come back to you if you just stay right where you are.
Bet On You
Relating to the dating phrase “they don’t want you but they don’t want anyone else to have you either”. The fact that as soon as you begin to move on and get over someone, only then do they try and come back into your life. They try to win you over because they don’t want to see you happy with someone else who isn’t them. You know their moves, they're so predictable, just as soon as you convince yourself they’re no good for you…You can see it coming from a mile away... you can even BET on it happening! They try and worm their way back to you... But this time they’re too late!
