Gracie Abrams has been skyrocketing to stardom in pop music, from opening for Taylor Swift on The Eras Tour to selling out arenas. Why are fans so fascinated by the artist? One reason is her lyrics. When listening to a song by Abrams, it may sound like a page torn out of our own diaries.
With the release of The Secret of Us (Deluxe), new and old fans appreciate the fresh look at love and life that Abrams has developed. Still, they can admire her vulnerability in her older songs. These songs aren’t just being heard on the radio or through headphones – they’re making their way into our social media posts. We’ve chosen our top 15 lyrics from Abrams for your next Instagram caption, from her hottest tunes to secret masterpieces.
“Bet you’re thinking ‘She’s so cool.’”
That’s So True
Starting off strong with this chart-topping hit, these lyrics could be used in many ways. That’s So True is the 15th track from The Secret of Us (Deluxe) and was played live on tour before its release. Abrams may have written this song about the difficulties of moving on with life after a break-up, but that doesn’t mean you must fit that narrative. From posting about your bestie or girlfriend to showing off your coolest fashion, this is perfect for anyone in need of a confident description. Put on your favourite sunglasses or high heels and take some chill pictures with your friends.
Perfect for: Stylish selfies of yourself or photos of friends.
“So leave and never come back.”
The Bottom
Have you ever just wanted to escape and never look back? Whether you just went on a vacation you wish lasted forever or moved to a new city, be sure to use this lyric from track five on This Is What It Feels Like. Abrams may have wanted her crush to leave so she isn’t a burden, but your reason for leaving for a new place may be a different story. As you experience a new chapter of your life, be sure to capture those memories to compile them into a photo dump. These pictures are a perfect way to show how you’re growing away from wherever you consider home.
Perfect for: Vacation or moving to a new place.
“None of this is changing with the seasons.”
Unsteady
As the 14th track from her debut album, Good Riddance (Deluxe), Unsteady is a soothing and comforting song about feeling lonely even when you’re surrounded by people every day. This lyric specifically alludes to her feeling of loneliness persisting even as time goes on. There are many positive aspects of life that you may want to keep around throughout time, like your friends or your career opportunities. You could share a recap of a literal season (like spring) or a metaphorical season (such as a semester at university) while showing how some parts of your life remained the whole time.
Perfect for: Entering a new season of the year or of your life.
“No chance I waste my twenties on random men.”
Tough Love
Sometimes, the best opportunities for growth are to separate yourself from someone holding you back. As track seven of The Secret of Us, Tough Love explores focusing on improving your life and finding yourself instead of pursuing relationships that aren’t meant to last. If you’ve had your heart broken and used that as a reason to spend time on self-care and growth, then this is the song lyric to use on your next social media post. You could even use it on a caption around your birthday if you feel like you’ve changed your life for the better. Bonus points if you’re also in your twenties!
Perfect for: Living your best single life.
“Everywhere I go leads me back to you.”
I Miss You, I’m Sorry
Maybe you’ve left your hometown or past friends to pursue your passions and dreams, but that doesn’t mean you have to stay away forever. This lyric comes from the first single from Abrams’ debut music project Minor. The song focuses on the complex emotions she’s experiencing from a past relationship, including feelings of guilt and sorrow. Moving forward in life isn’t easy, but that doesn’t mean you necessarily have to leave someone or something for good. If you choose to preserve past friendships or relationships, be sure to take photos as a future reminder of those people who care about you.
Perfect for: Reuniting with past friends or communities.
“So, where do we go now?”
Where Do We Go Now?
Abrams’ debut album, Good Riddance, was a monumental turning point in her career path, and the second single from the album encapsulates the complexity of life. From navigating a one-sided relationship to deciding the next steps in a career, this song could take on many different meanings for someone. If you’re looking for a caption for your next Instagram post that is open-ended, this lyric is perfect for you. It’s especially fitting for photo dumps from long vacations or road trips. You never know where you could end up next in life or even on your own tour across the country.
Perfect for: Road trips or long vacations.
“I swear that I wasn’t looking for much, but that’s just when you happened.”
Packing It Up
This song is the final new track on The Secret of Us (Deluxe) and focuses on a new relationship instead of past exes and struggles. It’s a song that gives hope for love, laughter, and living freely. If you’re looking for a caption for your social media post that captures how lucky you feel with your current group of friends or significant other, Packing It Up has the best and most beautiful lyrics. It could be to celebrate a special date, like a reunion or an anniversary, or just because you want to share how much you appreciate the people in your life.
Perfect for: Friend group reunions or anniversary celebrations.
“Met you at the right time, this is what it feels like.”
Feels Like
Building off the last song, Feels Like is another song about the beauty of being close to the people you surround yourself with. While Abrams sings about her best friend Audrey in this song, you can apply its meaning to anyone in your life. Meeting the right person in the right place and time has the potential to change your life for the better. Going to school with your friends could lead to some of the best memories of your life, so be sure to use this lyric when you’re graduating with classmates you bonded with.
Perfect for: Graduating with your best friends.
“I missed your twenty-first birthday”
21
Your birthday is the one day of the year when you can celebrate yourself and no one can judge you for it. As the second song on Minor, 21 is about Abrams missing her friend or ex’s 21st birthday and having regrets about the whole situation or relationship. You shouldn’t miss out on your own 21st birthday though. Whether you have a glittery sash and a gorgeous cake or a beach picnic for your party, celebrating your birthday among people who care about you can lead to experiences that you all can reminisce on. Make sure to take photos at the party on a digital or Polaroid camera so that even every camera “click” sound is memorable.
Perfect for: Your 21st birthday.
“Don’t worry, I know I’ll see you again.”
Normal Thing
Have you ever been to a concert that, when it ends, you immediately feel like you need to see the artist again or even for the rest of your life? As the tenth song on The Secret of Us, this song implies that a relationship may end but you may still find a way to be in each other’s lives. If you love live music, you could use this lyric as the caption of your next Instagram post with photos from a concert. Even if that one concert ends, that doesn’t mean that you’ll never see that artist again, and every time you see them, you’ll have unique experiences to remember forever.
Perfect for: A concert recap post.
“Every detail amplified”
Cedar
This song isn’t on any of her albums, but Abrams made it for the soundtrack of The Buccaneers. It’s about coming to terms with a breakup and understanding that people drift apart. While every detail of a breakup could be analysed, so could every detail of a piece of art or something else created. Social media isn’t just for personal accounts to share what’s going on in their lives. It’s also an amazing way for creatives, like photographers or painters, to connect with their audience. This lyric is perfect for displaying the attention to detail you have when making art or anything else, or even for appreciating the tiny details of life in general.
Perfect for: Showing off something you created.
“You took half of me, could you leave it?”
405
While Abrams wrote this third bonus track on Good Riddance (Deluxe) about feeling like someone leaving had left her incomplete, this song could be interpreted in many ways. This seemingly sad lyric could even be used in a positive sense. For example, getting a new pet could make you feel like the pet already owns part of your heart without even trying. I mean, who can resist a cute puppy or kitten? This lyric can be used for a photo dump of new pet photos to show all your friends just how adorable your new furry friend is.
Perfect for: Welcoming a new pet into the family.
“Wonder if you regret the secret of us.”
Us. ft. Taylor Swift
Having the power duo of Gracie Abrams and Taylor Swift on one song is sure to lead to a lot of poetic lyrics. As the tenth song on The Secret of Us, this song is the inspiration for the album’s title. Although this chosen lyric initially describes the confusion and conflicting feelings surrounding a relationship and breakup, it could mean more when used out of that context. Going with the theme of the power duo, you could post photos of you and your bestie having the time of your lives and leaving your impact on the world (no matter how secretive or daring it is).
Perfect for: Best friends taking on life together.
“I feel like myself right now.”
Right Now
As the 12th track on Good Riddance, Right Now is about feeling true to yourself and sure of who you are, even if you feel disconnected from your family and hometown. It may not be easy to feel connected to yourself and understand everything you’ve been through or felt. Still, this lyric encapsulates being at peace with who you are and feeling comfortable. It’s a great choice for connecting to your passions and wherever you feel at home, such as at a concert, hiking a mountain, or even in a library. Posting about what you love on Instagram can also help you connect more with others who are passionate about similar topics.
Perfect for: Showing off your true self wherever you feel at home.
“Even at their worst, they know they’ll still be okay.”
In Between
Last (but not least), this song is a currently unreleased yet very popular song with hardcore Abrams fans. It’s about having a crush or feeling connected to someone and knowing that in the end, you’ll find some way to support each other. Finding someone, whether it’s a friend or a significant other, who supports you for life can be difficult, but once you find that person you know that at the end of the day, they’ll always be there. This lyric can be used in a photo dump of you and whoever will support you forever to show your gratitude for them being in your life and staying throughout the highs and lows.
Perfect for: Strong friendships or relationships that last for life.
