Why Not Me (feat. Biskwiq)

Forrest Frank's song 'Why Not Me (feat. Biskwiq)' is a celebration of life's simple and free pleasures. The lyrics emphasize the idea that the best things in life, such as sunshine and a sense of freedom, are available to everyone without the need for material wealth. The recurring line, 'All the best in life are free, so why not me?' suggests a rhetorical question, encouraging listeners to recognize and appreciate the inherent beauty and joy in everyday experiences.

The song also delves into the artist's personal journey of overcoming mental struggles. The lines 'I've been stuck inside my head from November to May' reflect a period of introspection and perhaps depression. However, the arrival of 'blue skies' and 'palm trees' symbolizes a newfound perspective and a return to a more carefree, youthful state of mind. This transformation is further highlighted by the contrast between the artist's introverted nature and the newfound desire to engage with the world, driven by the uplifting weather.

Additionally, the song critiques modern society's obsession with material possessions and social media. The verse 'You’da probably noticed, but your way too possessed by your possessions' points out how people often miss out on life's true joys because they are too focused on their belongings and online presence. The call to 'put your phone down' serves as a reminder to disconnect from the digital world and reconnect with the real, tangible experiences that bring genuine happiness. The song ultimately encourages a shift in perspective, urging listeners to find contentment in the simple, free aspects of life and to prioritize meaningful connections over superficial ones.
