Wanna Be Her

In 'Wanna Be Her,' June delves into the emotional turmoil of seeing an ex-partner move on with someone new. The song captures the bittersweet nostalgia and the pangs of jealousy that arise when the protagonist sees her ex with a new girl who seems to be everything she once was. The lyrics, 'Your new girl is beautiful / Looks like she's in love / Made me kinda trip and fall / In memories of us,' set the stage for a journey through past memories and present heartache.

The protagonist struggles with the idea of being the 'first' love, which, instead of being a badge of honor, becomes a source of pain. The line, 'And being your first, is making this worse,' encapsulates the feeling of being a stepping stone for someone else's happiness. The protagonist acknowledges that her ex is likely to love the new girl better, as she was merely a 'trial and error.' This sentiment is poignantly expressed in the lines, 'You're gonna love her better / I was your trial and error.' The song's chorus, 'You coulda been here dancing with me / Under these lies, my feelings on fire / Still crashing my dreams / Back when I was your girl, I wanna be her now,' reveals the depth of her longing and the internal conflict between wanting to move on and being stuck in the past.

June's musical style, often characterized by emotive vocals and introspective lyrics, shines through in 'Wanna Be Her.' The song is a raw and honest portrayal of the complexities of love and loss. It speaks to anyone who has ever felt the sting of seeing an ex-partner find happiness with someone else, while they are left grappling with what could have been. The repetitive 'Oh-aah, oh-aah, oh-aah / Been there too' serves as a haunting reminder of shared experiences and the universal nature of heartbreak.
