Florida-based artist Alek Oni released his recent track “ICU”. the song can be categorized as hyper pop. Hyper pop is a genre of music that combines both EDM and traditional pop. The genre puts an extreme emphasis on cuteness, femininity, and intoxication. This is achieved by extreme pitching and warping of both the bass and rhythm and upbeat, bubbly synths. Alek oni is a rising star who got viral with this song. The song has the perfect beats with strong lyrical section.
The lyrical section of the song is very meaningful and related to daily life. The first chorus shows us that sometimes the day starts but our soul doesn’t wake up from the night. We want to find peace and the only way to find peace is to walk away from all the problems of life. The damage we take from the problems always comes back ever we do it eventually comes back. And being in an ICU the pain cannot be recovered.
“Day breaks into clear skies
Watching as the clouds pass me by
I wouldn’t lighten up, just let it sink in
This time
All the times I never gave a damn
Was because my weak mind made me uncomfortable
Walked away from all of my problems
I was finally at peace, made me feel invulnerable”
“The song isn’t meant for any particular person, rather it depicts situations that I’ve been in and the type of people I’ve been around. Especially in the chorus, when I say “Walked away from all my problems I was finally at peace, mad me invulnerable” which depicts when I walked out of my job after a bad day at work and being extremely stressed out”.
– Alek Oni
In the middle of the verse there he ghosted a burden. Cause when someone expects from you so much and if are not able to fulfill the expectation then it becomes a pain in the chest. So its better to ghost the pain cause life has many things to fight with and if you can just simply ignore something you should do.
“Nothing more nothing less
Had to get it off my chest
That’s why I ghosted you
I don’t know what you’d expect from me
What was I supposed to choose
Please watch your tone, behind I go repeat
I could give a damn about features”
