Why (remix) (feat. Lizzen)

Robin Thicke's 'Why (remix) (feat. Lizzen)' is a poignant exploration of the emotional turmoil that comes with being trapped in a toxic relationship. The song delves into the repetitive cycle of heartbreak and the internal conflict of wanting to leave but feeling unable to do so. Thicke's lyrics are a raw and honest portrayal of the struggle to break free from a partner who continuously causes pain, yet still holds a significant place in the heart.

The recurring question, 'Why do I keep on putting up with basic?' reflects the frustration and confusion of staying in a relationship that is unfulfilling and harmful. Thicke's use of the word 'basic' suggests a sense of settling for less than what one deserves, highlighting the emotional compromise involved. The repetition of falling for the 'same shit' emphasizes the cyclical nature of the relationship, where the same issues and disappointments resurface time and again.

Thicke's collaboration with Lizzen adds another layer to the song, as their voices intertwine to convey the shared experience of heartache. The lyrics, 'It's about time that I let you go, but seeing you with someone else gon' break my soul,' capture the fear of loneliness and the pain of imagining the partner with someone new. This line underscores the complexity of emotions involved in leaving a toxic relationship, where the fear of loss and the hope for change create a paralyzing dilemma.

The song's emotional depth is further enhanced by its soulful melody and Thicke's heartfelt delivery. 'Why (remix) (feat. Lizzen)' is a powerful reminder of the difficulty of breaking free from toxic relationships and the importance of self-worth and emotional resilience.
