^I feel like that’s the reason why she never sung it live. Just isn’t engaging

I really love HDIF. It has a slightly different vibe from the album as a whole, but it doesn't feel like a pain in the ass. The verses are so much better than the chorus, which I don't understand at all. To whom does she dedicate these lines? The only thing that comes to mind is that she talks about what it's like to live differently, like ordinary people. Going to work every day, what's it like not being a star?

From what I recall her saying about the song it's just about anyone. What is it like to be anyone but yourself because you can only really know your own experiences and she's wondering what connects people

How Does It Feel is my least favorite song on UMS Same! I always found it boring. It’s nice to have a ballad after so many heavy songs to sort of quiet things down, but after the first chorus it just starts to feel sleepy. The chorus is too repetitive. I never got the hype about this song. Boring is right! I like Slipped Away much better. I don't know, maybe it's because she/her team always feels the need to have one ballad into the album so they like, "forced" it to be there?

I think she just liked that HDIF sounded a little different and thought the subject was more mature or something. I wish we knew more about the songs that didn't make the album so we could compare more. UMS is such a mystery era

I loved the fact Avril was different then from everything else on the radio and people still listened because it was different, songs like freak out and even my happy ending had something that is unexplainable. I feel like now any of her albums don't compare, like they are all different in their own way but I feel like TBDT and LoveSux are similar in their own way but nothing comes close to UMS or let go. I'd say those are my favourite albums ❤

Upbeat fun songs like Sippin on Sunshine then there's Falling Fast and Hush Hush. That makes it feel refreshing to listen too, pure and new everytime. I also love that Avril produced the album with LA Reid.

Yeah I think AL is a great album, maybe it's the album cover that throws everyone off...

I’ve been warming up to AL5 more.
As an album it’s weak, but the songs individually as it’s own are really good

I used to not like it much at all, but I'm slowly warming up to it. I understand why it's not as loved as Avril's three albums before it, but the album really deserves more love.

HDIF is one of her best songs imo! To be fair, I'm not the biggest fan of the lyrics (they're a bit too simple imo), but everything else about it is absolute *chef's kiss*, especially the instrumentation. And once the bridge kicks in, it's just .
As for AL5, I'm in the majority here, I guess. I don't like this album. I actually like it less now than I used to. Idk, there just isn't a single song on there I ever feel like coming back to, not even GYWYL or "Hush Hush" or "Falling Fast".
