The song’s lyrics delve into the complex emotions experienced after a relationship ends, particularly the bittersweet realization that the other person is happier without you.
Lines like “Walking down 29th and Park / I saw you in another’s arms / Only a month we’ve been apart / You look happier” highlight the protagonist’s observation of their former partner’s newfound joy, which contrasts sharply with their own lingering sadness.
The chorus, “I hope you’re happier, I hope you’re prouder, of the paths that you walk down / I found a future in a broken heart,” underscores the protagonist’s mixed feelings of hope for the other person’s happiness and their own internal struggle.
The song’s melancholic tone and electronic production by Marshmello enhance the emotional depth, making it a relatable anthem for anyone grappling with the aftermath of a breakup.
