Discover the story of the song > Best Days King Henry Remix – Alessia Cara

The lyrics of the song talk about the protagonist, who is in her twenties, struggling to be honest with herself and figure out who she is becoming. She wishes she could feel more grounded and aware of her present moments. She is hoping and waiting for a moment of clarity, but she doesn't know if it will ever come. The chorus suggests that she wonders if the best days of her life have already happened and if the rest of her life will be the same. She feels like she is blindly moving forward, not knowing what she is doing. The post-chorus repeats the idea that the best days might be the ones she survives. The lyrics also mention that the protagonist regrets not appreciating and holding on to things until they were gone. The song ends with the question, "Are the best days just the ones that we survive?" suggesting that the protagonist is still uncertain about what defines the best days of her life.
