How Does Music Work In 2025
The alt-pop track opens with pulverized distorted 808s and rapid-fire glitchy drum stutters. Verses surge with stabbing synth blasts and mangled, buried autotuned mumble rap vocals. Sudden sharp transitions launch into aggressive, high-octane EDM drops—every section soaked in relentless, noisy energy.

Lyrics
Verse
Well
If you wanna know how music works in 2025
You got the influencers faking the musician life
You got the record labels making the same song twice
You got the AI that's making everything so trite
But if you make the song catchy
Then it's all alright
Chorus
The songs just gotta be catchy
'Cause nobody really listens to the lyrics anymore
The songs just gotta be catchy
'Cause everybody only wants to hear the same four chords
The songs just gotta be catchy
So that everyone can put it on their TikTok shorts
The songs just gotta be catchy
The songs just gotta be catchy
Verse 2
Well
If you wanna know how music works in 2025
You got the only good music being made DIY
You got the label A&R all acting like AI
And the only real artists are the ones online
But if you make the song catchy
Then it's all alright
Chorus
The songs just gotta be catchy
'Cause nobody really listens to the lyrics anymore
The songs just gotta be catchy
'Cause everybody only wants to hear the same four chords
The songs just gotta be catchy
So that everyone can put it on their TikTok shorts
The songs just gotta be catchy
The songs just gotta be catchy
