TWINKIDS new album, “Nobody Likes Me” is about just that—those intrusive thoughts of self-doubt that appear when you’re at your worst, and they tell you: nobody likes you. Most of these lyrics are coming from that irrational voice, when you question yourself if you’re stupid, undesirable, ugly. In the album we explore what happens to your relationships when you can’t keep those thoughts out. How it strains your love life, your friendships, your self-esteem and self-love.
“Hate Myself Around You” and “Nobody Likes Me” are the two songs leaning into those thoughts of self-doubt, while “911”, “Feeling Small”, and “I Know” splinter off from that, sort of like the aftermath or side effects. They explore themes of getting older, wondering if you never really fit in, realizing you didn’t and maybe starting to trust that voice. Then we conclude the album with “I’m Not Confused”, which actually started as an antidote to all of that, me really writing to myself all the things I needed to hear, remembering my power and embracing healing. The whole album is very depressing, but I think that song is a way out of all of that.
We hope you like our cute album about being the worst version of yourself :)
