REVIEW: In The Mourning Gets Real With 'If He Wanted To, He Would'

Paige Bachmann

“What's a good girl to do?” 

Be prepared to blast this absolute banger in your car. Trust me, you will. The anticipated second single from LA-based punk rock band, In The Mourning, takes the reflection of being in a one sided relationship and turns it into an anthem. 

The nostalgic instrumental makes this track feel extremely relatable and bound to have you belting out the words into your hairbrush. A classic in the making. 

The production is amazing. Singer-songwriter Amanda Tran’s vocals shine brightly amongst the angsty instrumental making you listen with feeling. When you think the words were already reading you like a book, Kenny Lu’s guitar solo comes out of nowhere and knocks you back into your seat. By the end of the song you’re already planning on pressing replay. 

I can't wait to see what else In The Mourning has in store. I absolutely loved this song and can confirm it sounds amazing in your car. Like seriously what are you doing? 

Buckle up and go belt your heart out!

LYRICS

Be a good girl for you

I’d do anything for you

But when I come around

“I’m too nice, too needy”

Too available for you


If he wanted to, he would 

I keep telling that to myself 

But when you come around 

I can’t help but need it 

Too accessible for you


Oh, I’ll be a fool for a higher love 

The truth is cruel but I’ll go in just to feel something 

Yeah, you say that you could be the one for me

But inconsistency, well, that could not be for me 


Sometimes I hang on a little too long 

Give you way too much slack

But now I can’t go back to where I was 

Guess I’m a softie now for you 

 

A little too much forgiveness

Took advantage of my kindness 

Who do you think you are?

A little too much forgiveness

Took advantage of my kindness 

Who do you think you are?


Oh, I’ll be a fool for a higher love 

The truth is cruel but I’ll go in just to feel something 

Yeah, you say that you could be the one for me

But inconsistency, well, that could not be for me 

What’s a good girl to do?
