[Verse 1]
Wonderin' where you been
Oh my God, I'm thinkin' of you again
Oh my God, I'm thinkin' of you again
I heard it from, from a friend
They told me you were happy with him
They told me you were happy
[Chorus]
Well, tell me, how the hell are you alright?
It's not alright
You make it look so easy
Tell me what it's like
To sleep well every night (Ooh)
Not fake it when you smile (Ooh)
To move on with your life (Ooh)
Fuck, it must be nice
[Verse 2]
Oh-oh, I'm so glad for you
If only I was happy too
If only I was happy
Oh, oh
[Chorus]
Well, tell me, how the hell are you alright?
It's not alright
You make it look so easy
Tell me what it's like
To sleep well every night (Ooh)
Not fake it when you smile (Ooh)
To move on with your life (Ooh)
Fuck, it must be nice
[Bridge]
Well, I'm barely holdin' on
Oh, I'm barely holdin' on
While I'm barely holdin' on
[Outro]
So tell me what it's like
Oh, tell me what it's like
To move on with your life
Fuck, it must be nice
MUST BE NICE was written by Ben Kohn & M-Phazes & Pete Kelleher & Ruel & Sean Douglas & Tom Barnes.
Ruel released MUST BE NICE on Wed Jan 25 2023.
This is a straight-up ballad breakup song: ‘How the hell are you doing this? How are you coping?’ When you see someone getting on with their life, it hits so hard when you’re not. I think the ‘Fuck, it must be nice’ [lyric] just captures that feeling.
