The song starts off with a strong beat and a soft guitar that leads us into HAIM’s gritty vocals. One person commented on “Everybody’s Trying To Figure Me Out,” saying, “Danielle’s vocals are so insane in this song!! especially the way she sings “figure me out” gets me every time ” This song is not only, audibly refreshing, but the lyrics are relatable.The chorus of the song goes as, “Oh, my God/ I feel like I might live inside of everyone’s thoughts/ I wish I could slow the tape down to the point where everything stops/ Everybody’s tryna figure me out now/ And I don’t know why/ There are things I’ve done I can’t deny/ They might have saved my life (Ah-ah)/ Everybody’s got their own decisions/ And I know that I’ve got mine.” HAIM is talking about gossip that circulates about her. She brings to light how hard it is to know that people are speaking about you and misunderstanding your persona. The feeling, which is usually hard to describe, is amplified by the tempo of the song. The “rock influence,” showcases how intense these feelings can be.
