From heartbreak to existential dread, this indie-pop trio knows exactly how to put your messy, complicated feelings into words.
Here are 5 Wallows songs that perfectly capture the chaos of being a teen—and why they’ll hit you right in the feels.
1. “Are You Bored Yet?” (feat. Clairo) — The Uncertainty of Young Love

Remember that relationship where you weren’t sure if you were both still into it? Yeah, Wallows nailed it.
The lyrics, “Are you bored yet? / Do you want me yet?” perfectly encapsulate the awkward, insecure dance of young love.
It’s that moment when you’re overthinking every text and silence, wondering if the spark is fading—or if it was ever there at all.
2. “Scrawny” — The Insecurity Anthem

If you’ve ever felt like you don’t measure up, “Scrawny” is your battle cry.
Lines like “I’m a scrawny motherf***er with a cool hairstyle” are equal parts self-deprecating and empowering.
It’s a reminder that everyone feels inadequate sometimes, but you’re still out here trying—and that’s what matters.
3. “1980s Horror Film” — The Overwhelm of Growing Up

Teenage life can feel like a horror movie, and Wallows turns that metaphor into a bop.
The song’s eerie vibe and lyrics like “I’m paranoid / I hear voices” mirror the anxiety of figuring out who you are.
It’s the soundtrack to those nights when adulthood feels like a looming monster, and you’re not sure you’re ready to face it.
4. “Pleaser” — The Exhaustion of People-Pleasing
Tired of bending over backward to make everyone happy? “Pleaser” gets it.
The chorus, “I’m a pleaser / I just wanna make you happier,” hits hard for anyone who’s ever felt like they’re losing themselves to keep others satisfied.
It’s a wake-up call to prioritize your own happiness—even if it’s easier said than done.
5. “I’m Full” — The Chaos of Self-Discovery

This underrated gem is a messy, honest ode to figuring yourself out.
With lines like “I’m full of doubt / I’m full of fear,” it captures the whirlwind of emotions that come with growing up.
It’s not pretty, but it’s real—and sometimes, that’s all you need to hear.
Wallows doesn’t just make music; they make mirrors for your teenage soul.
So next time you’re feeling lost, angry, or just plain confused, press play—you’ll probably find exactly what you needed to hear.
