"The album starts overtly sad and slow, grounding the songs in heartbreak before picking up more of a partying vibe. "Living, Loving, Partygoing" stands as a theme song of sorts for the album. To a club tempo, Gonson chronicles parties ("we took god knows what/and danced on the lawn") in a slightly detached way that hints at a certain monotony to the wildness without really acknowledging it".
