The jazzy intro, made up of groovy basslines, punchy drums, and bright guitar tones, is upbeat, letting you dance through your fears.
Lyrics including “what if I run into your arms, would you hold my hand? / don’t let me go” paint a narrative of going into a new relationship and the questions of doubt that come along with it. The song reflects on the messiness of being human and somehow manages to find the beauty within that.
Moniah’s honey-sweet, layered vocals and pop harmonies add an addictive and easy quality to the song. They’re rich and soulful, expressing all the emotions that the song confesses, making it one for the repeat button.
Her impressive high notes and vocal riffs, which are demonstrated throughout, further the appeal and the charm that ‘What if I Cry About It?’ has - firmly establishing itself as one of the finest tracks in the singer/songwriter’s discography.
In all, ‘What If I Cry About It?’ showcases the best of Moniah; her talent and passion for music know no bounds, and we can’t wait to see where she goes next.
