“Happier Alone” showcases mlady’s lush, layered sound, which evokes dream-pop bands such as Beach House. Beeghly says the bones for the song came about quickly while she was messing around on her guitar one day, thinking about how to turn a feeling into a story.
Bourdon says he likes how Beeghly sings"Thank you" throughout the song and saves “Fuck you” for the very end. It makes him curious about the sentiment expressed in the lyrics and its exact meaning. “Whenever I hear it, I think of it in a way like, 'Is that like a sarcastic thank-you or is it both? I-thank-you-for-this-now-fuck-off type of thing?' I don’t know,” he says.“So it’s really a fuck-you every time?,” he asks.
“The electric lines are pretty different than what I would normally do,” he says. “I think they took some more abstract thinking to get there. It was more of an effort to really set the vibe than [it was with] other works in the past.”” — as he laid down the guitar. “It’s lots of low end and really smooth, rather than a really cutting and high gain,” he explains. “It’s more like an almost jazz-type tone that fits the ambient vibe a lot better.
“I’ve been listening to a lot of ambient music,” she says. “Some of the movement in the song can be so slow, but just the tiniest bit of change in the texture can be so powerful and efficient at getting a message or feeling across.”
