Tekst piosenki
[Verse 1]
Guess we grew out of running away from reality
When the high doesn’t soften the lows like it used to do
You remember the old me, remember the mornings too
The memory has you fooled
I swear I get it
[Pre-Chorus]
We were something great man we could make em jealous
You were into fuckboys like it was a fetish
Selfish and we drunk enough to forgive anything but ahhh
Now you’re on the payroll in another city
Looking at the past but there’s no future in the girl you used to be
[Chorus]
Cos honey in the suburbs we
Had all we’d ever need
To live forever and ever
But here we are at twenty three
Always thought that we’d be
Somebody better, uh huh, uh huh, uh huh, ooh
One day when we have it all
Cos we ain’t going nowhere no way
We’ll be unforgettable
But it’s hard to believe when
We are twenty three
And we swore that we’d be somebody better
It’s never how we dreamt it together
Uh huh
[Verse 2]
You know things could be easier if we gave into it
If we accepted our fate and made peace with the lines we tow
And then look in the mirror and see someone you don’t know
It’s in our control
But still I get it
[Pre-Chorus]
We were something great man we could make em jealous
You were into fuckboys like it was a fetish
Selfish and we drunk enough to forgive anything but ahhh
Now you’re on the payroll in another city
Looking at the past but there’s no future in the girl you used to be
[Chorus]
Cos honey in the suburbs we
Had all we’d ever need
To live forever and ever
But here we are at twenty three
Always thought that we’d be
Somebody better, uh huh, uh huh, uh huh, ooh
One day when we have it all
Cos we ain’t going nowhere no way
We’ll be unforgettable
But it’s hard to believe when
We are twenty three
And we swore that we’d be somebody better
It’s never how we dreamt it together
Uh huh
[Middle 8]
The photographs are clear so you
See the memory more than here baby
But I can’t hate these years though they
Tear apart they’ve kept you near to me
[Chorus]
Cos honey in the suburbs we
Had all we’d ever need
To live forever and ever
But here we are at twenty three
Always thought that we’d be
Somebody better, uh huh, uh huh, uh huh, ooh
One day when we have it all
Cos we ain’t going nowhere no way
We’ll be unforgettable
But it’s hard to believe when
We are twenty three
And we swore that we’d be somebody better
It’s never how we dreamt it together
Uh huh

Analiza piosenki
„23” to piosenka brytyjskiej piosenkarki i autorki tekstów Chlöe Howl. Utwór został ogłoszony na Twitterze Howl w dniu 8 listopada 2018 r. i wydany 15 listopada 2018 r. jako singiel z EP „Howl ”Work”. Wraz z pojedynczym ogłoszeniem Howl ogłosiła także główny program w londyńskim Moth Club w dniu 23 stycznia 2019 r.
Jeśli chodzi o piosenkę, Howl wyjaśniła: „23” została napisana po sylwestrze w zeszłym roku. Razem z moim przyjacielem z dzieciństwa spędziliśmy całą noc, rozmawiając o tym, że dorosłe życie nie zawsze jest takie, jak sobie wyobrażaliśmy.
Czujemy się z tym faktem nie do końca komfortowo. Oczywiście możemy zmienić swoje życie, jednak nie zawsze jest to takie proste jak przypuszczaliśmy będąc dziećmi. Napisałam tę piosenkę dla wszystkich w wieku 20 lat, którzy mogą zacząć to wszystko rozgryzać.”
