"Hey You" by ROMI is a bold track fueled by self-assurance. Its lyrics question the genuine care the speaker's partner has for her, delving into the complexities of their relationship. Bold statements like "say you're sorry but you don't really care" allow listeners to understand the patterns of remorseless hurt the speaker's partner has inflicted. Cathartically calling out mistreatment, the lyrics "what's the deal will you" are unapologetically authentic, giving a driven message that poor behavior does not go unnoticed. This track is motivational, telling listeners to be confident and true to themselves by getting out of a toxic relationship.
Glowing synth chords open the track before keys and ROMI's slow and emotional vocals work through the verse, picking up in speed through the pre-chorus. Ambient, distorted echoes of the vocals and layers of electronic instrumentals fold into the sound of the track, adding atmospheric percussion and whooshing sounds into the mix. A somber tone hangs onto the the song, with emotional delves into introspection punctuated by the entrancing sound. Layers of vocalizing create an exciting depth, and as the song moves on, fast-paced percussion, cinematic strings, and expressive vocalizing create a beautiful intensity. With an increasingly forceful sound and electronic instrumentals that build and emulate the freeing feeling of letting go of a toxic relationship, this song is captivatingly powerful.
