Moments

Tove Lo's 'Moments' is a candid reflection on self-acceptance and the embrace of one's imperfections. The song begins with the artist recounting her upbringing, surrounded by 'a lot of green' and 'nice things,' indicating a comfortable and secure environment. However, she quickly points out that the dreams and plans she was surrounded by were not her own, suggesting a sense of disconnection from the expectations placed upon her.

The chorus of 'Moments' is a powerful affirmation of self, with Tove Lo declaring that although she may not be the 'prettiest' or 'flawless,' she acknowledges and owns her moments of charm and allure. The repetition of 'I have my moments' serves as a mantra of self-empowerment, emphasizing that everyone has times when they shine, despite their flaws. The lyrics 'I can get a little drunk, I get into all the don'ts / But on good days I am charming as fuck' reveal a duality within her personality – she is both the rule-breaker and the enchantress, depending on the day.

The song also celebrates individuality and the acceptance of others, with the lines 'I love freaks, I don't care if you're a wild one.' This suggests a kinship with those who are different or unconventional, further reinforcing the theme of embracing one's true self. Tove Lo's musical style, often characterized by its raw and honest lyricism, perfectly complements the message of 'Moments,' making it an anthem for anyone who has ever felt imperfect or out of place.
