Electrifying and hard-hitting, “Naive,” is a punk rock song by the female sibling trifecta, Hello Sister. Highly energized and moving, the track centers on feelings of betrayal and toxic relationships. The lyrics touch on the hurt of trusting someone only to have them break it after multiple chances are given to redeem themselves. “Naive” is about discovering that a friend was never really one, the road to healing from a fallen relationship, and realizing that one bad experience does not define future connections. The song's title matches the anger and naivety of the person who holds on to hope that the other person is better than they are. The shame that follows from blinded faith as the band notes, “You took my dignity and wore it like a medal.” Upbeat and measured, “Naive” sums up the leftover emotions of anger and distrust that listeners from a young age can relate to.
Culminating in powerful electric rock waves, “Naive” is riotous and full of teenage exasperation. The band is reminiscent of 2000’s female rock singers like Avril Lavigne and Hayley Williams from Paramore with a more contemporary feel around the edges. Vocally, the track is flawless, with the echoing voices of the singers blending harmoniously in the verses, even amidst the powerful drum chorus. The chorus is exhilarating and thunderous, as the distressed emotions break through the heavy instruments and the hurt seeps through each lyric. Though the track instrumentally provides an outlet for anger and outrage left by the feelings of betrayal, vocally the song displays a raw voice, heavy with hurt and laced with poignancy. The liberating anthem takes on a hopeful ending as the song ends, “I'm really good at putting the pieces together again.” The song lastly promises that despite being betrayed, the other side is truly “the fool” for taking advantage of their kindness.
