With a backdrop of mellow R&B and chilling vocals, “Against Me” reflects on relationship woes and feelings of being unappreciated. Accompanied by smooth sax and mood-setting finger snaps, we also get melodic vocals from Claire Maisto, who shares her side of the story. Lyrics like “Why you gotta do me so wrong, it’s never good enough, it’s never ever what you want” and “I’m gonna do what I want, at the end of the day, don’t forget that I do things for you too” explore the artist’s feelings towards his partner while hitting the right places in one’s mind. These infectious beats and relatable, touching reflections are exactly what makes Landon Sears’s “Against Me” so ideal. This is one single you’ll be adding to your “favorites” playlist.
