Expressing the importance of a grounded and sensible mindset when it comes to romance, "Delusional" by Maggie Ries takes on the way social constructs and internal thought processes impact us. This immersive and relatable track goes through the way self-sabotage and fantastical expectations intersect to cloud our judgement. Illuminating wisdom comes through the lyrics "I guess I don't wanna wait for Mr. Perfectly Fake," with a message for listeners to step out of the fairytale and into an expectation-free exploration of human connection. At the same time, the lyrics still long for movie-like romance. Ultimately, this song will comfort you with its romanticism while it grounds you with its level-headed wisdom.
A bright dream pop style will energize you with the upbeat sound of this energetic track. Electronic percussion infuses the tune with a bright feeling that will make you want to dance as a deep electronic bass riff repeats a cool and exciting tone. Maggie's vocals are light, working through the verse with a breathy narrative tune, punctuated with layers of shout-singing at the end of each line. Bask in the high, uplifting sound of the chorus as the vocals shine through the lyrics of self-reflection with vibrant electronic instrumentals. A truly fun sound to breaking down perceptions, this exciting pop song is an exciting vocal exploration as much as it is an introspective journey.
