Don't Think About It

Justine Skye's 'Don't Think About It' delves into the complexities of modern, casual relationships. The song's lyrics paint a vivid picture of a relationship that is purely physical, devoid of deeper emotional connections like love or trust. Skye repeatedly reassures herself that she is 'cool' because she understands the nature of the relationship—it's all about the physical connection, not emotional entanglement. This self-awareness is a recurring theme, as she emphasizes that she knows what this is and is comfortable with it.

The song also explores the duality of such relationships. On one hand, there's an undeniable physical attraction and chemistry that keeps the two individuals coming back to each other. On the other hand, there's a clear understanding that they are 'better apart' emotionally. This dichotomy is highlighted in lines like 'Keeping me up like insomnia, but when we’re done, I’m back in my car.' The physical connection is intense and consuming, yet it lacks the emotional depth that would make it a lasting relationship.

Cultural references, such as mentions of Calabasas and Hennessy, add a layer of modernity and relatability to the song. These elements ground the song in a specific social context, making it resonate with listeners who navigate similar relationships in today's fast-paced, often superficial world. The repeated refrain 'Don’t think about it' serves as a mantra for maintaining emotional distance, a reminder to keep things simple and not overcomplicate the relationship with feelings or expectations.
