This World You’re Living In - Beth Olive (Pop) Beth Olive delivers a pining Top 40 anthem with her latest track “This World You’re Living In.” It’s a lush production, at times showing an 80s sensibility with respect to the song construction and melody. The song is dreamy with punchy drums and muted claps that are well placed throughout the song to give clear structure and movements, with the instrumental being one we could imagine the Weeknd using. Beth gives a strong and emotive performance on the lead vocals, particularly shining in the anthemic chorus—quite the earworm that had us thinking of the retro-vibes that Carly Rae Jepsen delivered a few years ago. In the track, Beth dreams of being with someone she feels is too good for her, too far out of her reach. But with a knockout song like this, we place Beth at the top of our list.
Best Lyric: “I’ve been late a thousand times, cuz you’ve been on my mind.”
