Nashville’s very own Caroline Romano is back with another indie pop gem that puts her intimate songwriting abilities on full display.
“IDK These Days” confronts feelings of not fully feeling your best when it seems like everyone around you expects you to. The song is a preview of her upcoming EP, ‘How The Good Girls Die,’ arriving on February 21st.
“I wrote ‘IDK These Days’ during a period of inexplicable anger and frustration,” Caroline shares. “It’s about the little things—like snow and traffic—that used to be trivial, suddenly becoming overwhelming. It’s that unsettling feeling when even your mom notices you’re not yourself, and you’re stuck in this state of discontent, feeling like a middle schooler again. The song speaks to the fear that these emotions might linger longer than desired. It’s about the struggle of being honest when asked how you’re doing and admitting, ‘I don’t know these days.’ While these feelings are fleeting, in the moment, they feel all-consuming. This song is my way of confronting those emotions head-on, admitting them aloud, and finding solace in that admission.”
