This track takes a real and vulnerable look into what it feels like to miss a partner. The hook line of the chorus sings “everybody sees this hole in my heart, and it’s shaped like you.” When you’re hurting, it really does feel like a chunk has been taken out of your heart, and it seems like it’s incredibly obvious to everyone around you that you are suffering. A new lack of love is hard to adjust to and move on from, and the line “now it’s so clear to me, some wounds never heal” addresses the fear over whether recovering from that pain is even an option.
“Shaped Like You” tells an emotional story while also offering a soulful, dancehall pop soundscape. The danceable and fun production of the song, contrasted with the regretful lyrics, makes this a cathartic track representative of the push and pull of heartbreak. A passionate vocal delivery, rippling drum crashes, and endless moments of electronic ear candy come together to create a unique combination of grooving arrangements and poignant storytelling.
