Wish I (feat. Tory Lanez)

Zoey Dollaz's song 'Wish I (feat. Tory Lanez)' delves into the tumultuous emotions that follow a painful breakup. The lyrics are a raw and unfiltered expression of regret, anger, and lingering affection. The repetitive counting in the chorus, 'One, two, three and four, I'm leaving you walking out that door,' symbolizes the finality and determination to move on from a toxic relationship. This counting also adds a rhythmic structure that underscores the inevitability of the breakup, making it feel almost like a countdown to freedom.

The song oscillates between feelings of deep regret and moments of nostalgia. Lines like 'Wish I never met you, Wish I never loved you' highlight the intense regret and the desire to erase the past. However, the conflicting emotions are evident in the repeated lines 'Sometimes I miss you, Sometimes it's fuck you,' showcasing the internal battle between missing the good times and resenting the betrayal. This duality is a common theme in post-breakup songs, reflecting the complexity of human emotions when dealing with loss and betrayal.

Tory Lanez's verse adds another layer to the narrative, emphasizing the hedonistic escape from the pain. His lines, 'I'm lit, I'm drunk, I'm juiced up,' suggest a turn to partying and substance use as a coping mechanism. The mention of 'May weather in the ring' and 'Big money on my line' introduces a sense of bravado and self-assurance, masking the underlying hurt. The song's raw honesty and emotional depth make it a relatable anthem for anyone who has experienced the highs and lows of a broken relationship, capturing the essence of love, regret, and the struggle to move on.
