do re mi (feat. Gucci Mane)

blackbear's 'do re mi' featuring Gucci Mane is a modern breakup anthem that uses clever wordplay and a catchy melody to express the artist's frustration and resignation over a failed relationship. The song's title, 'do re mi,' references the solfège, a music education method used to teach pitch and sight singing. However, blackbear flips the concept, using the familiar scale to spell out his exasperation with his former lover.

The lyrics detail the artist's regret over the time spent with his ex-partner, wishing he had simply stayed in bed the day they met. The song's chorus, 'Do, re, mi, fa, so fuckin' done with you, girl,' is a play on the solfège scale, with 'fa, so' sounding like 'fuckin' so,' emphasizing his done-ness with the relationship. The verses describe the ex's destructive behavior, such as spreading rumors and causing damage to his car, which metaphorically represents the damage to their relationship. blackbear's decision to 'stay asleep' and 'pray the Lord my soul to keep' suggests a desire to avoid further emotional turmoil.

Gucci Mane's verse adds a different flavor to the track, boasting about his success and new relationships, while also playing with the theme of being done with past connections. His lyrics touch on luxury, fame, and moving on, which contrasts with blackbear's more emotional and personal grievances. The collaboration between the two artists brings together different perspectives on handling breakups and the aftermath of toxic relationships.
