To Each Their Own by colby!: A Raw, Indie-Pop Anthem About Growing Apart 

Sometimes chaos makes perfect sense, just ask colby!.

Her latest track To Each Their Own, released on Valentine’s day, might sound like organised musical mayhem at first, but listen closer and you’ll discover a brutally honest exploration of growing up and growing apart.

The Fort Worth native’s vocals slice through layered rhythms and melodic swirls, opening with a deceptively simple “Get on my bike, get out of the pity.”

From there, the track oscillates between escape and confrontation.

Verses about trying on different clothes and visiting salty shores paint a restless soul searching for change while others stay “tied up in the city.”

The chorus lands like a truth bomb, riding an infectiously simple melody: “And the others go, and we never grow, ’cause we never show.”

It’s about watching old friends fade into their own lives, their paths branching off in unexpected directions.

The bridge hammers this home with rapid-fire contradictions “When there’s sun there’s a gun, when there’s fun we’re done” that capture the maddening paradoxes of early adulthood.

For colby!, who battled severe dyslexia from age 8, music has always been more than just a creative outlet.

Her journey from intensive therapy to writing songs at 14 adds extra depth to lyrics about feeling out of sync and seeking growth.

The production mirrors this complexity as sound waves build and crash like thoughts tumbling over each other, creating the perfect backdrop for screaming along during solo car rides (one of colby!’s favourite pastimes).

To Each Their Own works because it embraces the mess. Rather than trying to make sense of why some friendships fade while others flourish, it simply acknowledges the chaos of growing up and growing apart.

Check out colby!’s chaotic-yet-catchy creation and its equally mesmerising music video – your car speakers won’t know what hit them.

colby! To Each Their Own Lyrics

Verse 1:
Get on my bike 
Get out of the pity 
I’m so tired of the way of the city 
I’ve been going to salty shores 
I’ve been trying on different clothes 
You’re so tired of the day and day 
I’ve been trying to see your face 
All of this and nothing more 
All of this and stupid chores 

All of this and nothing more 
All of this and stupid chores 

I’m so tired of the way of the city 
Get on my bike 
Get out of the pity 
I’ve been trying on different clothes 
I’ve been going to salty shores 
I’ve been trying to see your face 
You’re so tired of the day and day 
All of this and stupid chores 
All of this and nothing more 

Chorus:
And the other’s go 
And we never grow 
Because we never show 
To each their own 
To each their own 

Verse 2:
You’ve been begging for my pity 
But you’re so tied up in the city 
You’ve been rotting in your clothes 
You’ve been crying but no one knows 
You don’t wanna help yourself 
It’s too hard to be yourself 
You want to see a change 
You’re too tired anyway 

Chorus:
And the other’s go 
And we never grow 
‘Cause we never show 
To each their own 
To each their own 

And the other’s go 
And we never grow 
‘Cause we never show 
To each their own 

When there’s sun there’s a gun 
When there’s fun we’re done 
When there’s heat we never speak 
When it’s dry we cry 
When there’s sun there’s a gun 
When there’s fun we’re done 
When there’s heat we never speak 
When it’s dry we cry 

And the other’s go 
And we never grow 
‘Cause we never show 
To each their own 
To each their own 

And the other’s go 
And we never grow 
‘Cause we never show 
To each their own
