MUST BE NICE

Ruel Ruel

The Bittersweet Struggle of Moving On

Ruel's song "MUST BE NICE" delves into the emotional turmoil of seeing an ex-partner move on while still grappling with the pain of the breakup. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of longing and heartache, as the protagonist repeatedly finds themselves thinking about their former lover. The repetition of the line "Oh my God, I'm thinkin' of you again" underscores the persistent nature of these thoughts, highlighting the difficulty of letting go.

The song's chorus is particularly poignant, as Ruel questions how his ex can appear so effortlessly happy and well-adjusted. Lines like "You make it look so easy" and "To sleep well every night" contrast sharply with the protagonist's own struggle to find peace and happiness. This juxtaposition creates a sense of envy and frustration, as the protagonist yearns for the same sense of closure and contentment that their ex seems to have achieved.

Ruel's raw and honest delivery adds depth to the song, making the listener feel the weight of his emotions. The repeated phrase "Fuck, it must be nice" serves as a cathartic release, capturing the intense mix of sadness, jealousy, and resignation. The song ultimately speaks to the universal experience of heartbreak and the challenging journey of moving on, resonating with anyone who has ever felt left behind in the wake of a breakup.
