“Smile” is the fourth track on Wolf Alice’s third album, Blue Weekend. It reflects on the assumptions that other people make about someone. However, the narrator doesn’t lose themselves and knows very well who they truly are.
This song diverges from the first three tracks on the album as it goes fo...
[Verse 1]
I ain't afraid
I, I ain't afraid, though my steps appear tentative
I scope it out, then I throw myself into it
I ain't ashamed in the fact that I'm sensitive
I believe that it is the perfect adjective
I wear my feelings on my sleeve, I suggested it
It serves me better than to swallow in a sedative
I am what I am and I'm good at it
And you don't like me, well that isn't fucking relevant
[Verse 2]
Ah, don't call me mad, there's a difference, I am angry
And your choice to call mе cute has offended mе
I have power, there are people who depend on me
And even you have time you wish to spend on me
I know you all think I'm unhinged
Well, wind it up and this honey bee stings
Did you think I was a puppet on strings?
Wind her up and this honey bee sings
[Chorus]
Ah, ah, ah, ah, sun and the shine
Ah, ah, ah, ah, smile
Ah, ah, ah, ah, sun and the shine
[Verse 3]
Yeah, if you want me, you can find me at the bar
Lost souls congregate at the bar
Take a minute and remember who you are
Sip your drink, sip one more and you're a star
[Chorus]
Ah, ah, ah, ah, sun and the shine
Ah, ah, ah, ah, smile
Ah, ah, ah, ah, sun and the shine
Ah, ah, ah, ah, smile

It’s about people that make assumptions about you. This is one of the songs we wrote thinking that we would play it live. I miss that feeling of singing on stage. It’s like screaming into a pillow or something — you can get away with being more nasty. There’s a whole other part of me missing.
