Adam Dawda’s latest single “Doubting Me” is an energetic alternative happy-trap inspired banger that uses repetitive lyrics and a catchy cadence to coax and urge the listener in on first listen. The colourful keys and floating piano line is tied together by those very characteristic rattling patterns of trap based hi-hats coupled with an aggressive bass kick and 808 that propels the song with power.
Simple lyrically, the meaning is literal; he says “doubting me, wont you stop it with that shit hey, blocked yo shade I just put you in the past eh” – where he addresses the doubt of others, while playfully and ironically exposing his own vulnerability; his long history battling with self-doubt, perhaps his biggest demon. He also addresses living abroad and being away from family and friends back in Vancouver; “foreign living, been 2 years since I been home now, miss the gang, but I’ll come back when I blow ya” – where he promises to come back eventually, but only after reaching success in his creative pursuit and life.
