Nick Faye’s new single, “Undone,” is the anthem for anyone who has ever swiped right just to be left on read. Faye captures, with humor and heartache, the so-damn-relatable exhaustion of wading through the dating pool of today’s world a flake, ghost, and canceled plan at a time.
Penned at the end of a particularly savage two-month period when he found himself stood up or ghosted on six out of seven straight dates, Faye steers that frustration into a song that feels as feel-good as it is cathartic. “Undone” doesn’t indulge in self-pity but rather the absurdity of it all because that is the only way to get through a tragic date.
“Undone” lyrics celebrate the absurdity of contemporary romance while recognizing the emotional cost of putting yourself out there repeatedly, only to be ghosted. It’s a song for the people who keep coming around, holding out hope that maybe, just maybe, this next date will happen.
For those who have ever groaned at yet another “Sorry, forgot!” texted or glared at an empty chair across the table, “Undone” is your new dating battle cry. Nick Faye transforms frustration into melody and shows that, if nothing else, at the end of the day, there’s still great music to be had from modern love chaos.
