"Fairweather Friends" by Will Sass (featuring Nina Nesbitt) is a reflective song about coming to terms with a connection's end, with the speaker understanding that they deserve better than the way they were treated in the relationship. The song opens with the statement "you loved me on the good days, then ran when things got heavy." Immediately, listeners are immersed in the non-committal and half-hearted nature of the speaker's ex. It's a lonely feeling, having your partner not go all-in on your relationship, understanding that not every day can be fun. Exploring the positive change in the speaker's life that came from cutting the draining and unsupportive person off, this track inspires listeners to escape from relationships in which they feel unheard.
Pulsing electronic instrumentals, keys, and rhythmic percussion accompany Nina's soft vocals, which start off soulful and breathy before speeding up and reaching impressive heights. Through the chorus, percussion sounds like a clap as the vocals move through the lyrics with a rounded and uplifting feeling. An electropop instrumental interlude comes in after the chorus before gliding back into the second verse. Showcasing impressive high vocals, through the beginning of the second chorus the instrumentals are faded before joining in with an exciting energy. This is the type of song you can play on repeat, perfect for hyping yourself up and basking in the freedom of cutting ties with those that drag you down.
