“Under My Skin” reminds me of the early 2000 love songs. Sears and Scalco are an interesting mix on this song. They are on two opposite ends of the spectrum sonically, but this adds balance to their dynamic. Scalco has a smooth, soulful voice, while Spears’s raps, in comparison, are harsher. They keep this up throughout the whole piece, even as they speak about a person they are infatuated with. Exactly as the title suggests, this person is stuck under their skin. While this sounds like a serious topic, overall, the song is expressive and fun. Sears and Scalco have a powerful ability to take two different sounds and mash them together perfectly.
