"Original Me" is a high-energy self-deprecating track in which Yungblud and Imagine Dragons frontman Dan Reynolds explore their lack of self-esteem. I'm so sick of me, wake up and hate to breathe And I pride myself in that, so dramatic, I'll admit I'm so typical, my life ain't difficult But I'm so caught up in it, just a lowlife, I'll admit Yungblug said: "This song is about accepting the parts of yourself that you hate and realizing your biggest superpower is to be originally, authentically yourself."
The topic of embracing your deficiencies is one that Reynolds has visited before. Imagine Dragons' 2017 single "Believer" is a case in point. On it, he sings about how the anxiety and depression he has endured helped make him a believer in himself.
The song is Yungblud's first collaboration with Dan Reynolds. According to the British singer, the "mutual raw energy" between them led to "Original Me" being completed in just one day.
