Sure, this song has a much slower tempo when compared to catchy singles “Clarity” and “Bigger Than My Body” off his sophomore project. “Didn’t have a camera by my side this time / Hoping I could see the world through both my eyes” he sings over a cheerful beat. Released nine years before Instagram was even created, it’s as though John was peering into the future on this song, emphasizing the importance of experiencing life’s beauty beyond nailing the right photograph.
When he notes “They’re celebrating broken things / I don’t wanna world of broken things / You can tell that something isn’t right / When all your heroes are in black and white,” it’s a gentle reminder that we don’t have to like something just because others enjoy it.
Meek Mill proportions, nor is it aimed at anyone in particular, but “Speak for Me” is a commentary on pop culture and a lack of exciting music (in his eyes). This song isn’t a diss track of Drake vs.
