Doing Great (Don’t Ask) (Indie pop instrumentation leads with bright, jangly guitars and a punchy bass, underpinned by crisp drums and subtle synth pads, Verses are sparse and rhythmic, while the chorus blooms into richly layered harmonies, creating lush, bittersweet textures that contrast the steady optimism of the arrangement, The bridge introduces off-kilter keys and syncopated claps, retaining melodic catchiness as the harmonies swell and twist in unexpected directions before a final anthemic chorus) [Instrumental Intro – Machine-Gun Palm Mutes + Crash Count-In] (HEY! HEY! HEY!) [Verse 1] Saw you laughing in the parking lot, Guess I’m the joke you forgot you got. You look lighter, I look pissed, Guess that’s what freedom looks like, right? I told my friends I’m killing it, They nodded like they didn’t buy it. I sleep just fine with one eye shut, Dreams still screaming “what the f—?” [Pre-Chorus] I don’t hate you — that’s the worst part, I just hope you choke on our old parts. I’m so mature, I’m so evolved… Still memorized your voicemail, call— [Chorus – Big, Fast, Gang Shout Friendly] (HEY!) I’m doing great — don’t ask me how, I lie so loud it counts as sound. You say my name, my knees give out, Yeah, I’m fine until you come around. (HEY!) I don’t need you — that’s a joke, Say it quick before I choke. I’m over you — except I’m not, So let’s pretend that I forgot! [Verse 2] Your hoodie’s still in my backseat, Smells like smoke and bad decisions. I tried to toss it out last week, But nostalgia’s got good precision. Your new guy posts inspirational quotes, Says “growth” like he invented it. I’d rather burn than play it cool, So here I am — still petulant. [Pre-Chorus] I don’t check up — I doomscroll, Just to see if you still glow. If happiness is winning big, Why does losing feel like home? [Chorus – Louder, More Aggressive] (HEY!) I’m doing great — don’t ask me how, I lie so loud it counts as sound. You say my name, my knees give out, Yeah, I’m fine until you come around. (HEY!) I don’t need you — that’s a joke, Say it quick before I choke. I’m over you — except I’m not, So let’s pretend that I forgot! [Bridge – Half-Time Drop, Shouted Lines] [half-time, dry vocal] You won — congrats, you’re bulletproof, I’m still bleeding sarcasm and truth. [build, full band creeps back in] I hope you’re happy — swear I do, Just not on nights I think of you. [Final Chorus – Double-Time Energy, Extra Gang Vocals] (HEY! HEY!) I’m doing great — don’t ask me how, I lie so loud it counts as sound. You say my name, my knees give out, Yeah, I’m fine until you come around. (HEY! HEY!) I don’t need you — that’s a joke, Say it quick before I choke. I’m over you — except I’m not, So scream it back — I FORGOT! (I FORGOT!) (I FORGOT!) [Outro – Fast Stops + Final Shout] I’M DOING GREAT! [kick-snare-hit — CUT]
