LESS DEPRESSED Lyrics
[Verse 1]
If you ask a stupid question
Then you'll get a stupid answer
And if you ask if I'm okay, I'm unhappy ever after, hmm
If you ask me how I'm coping
I'm like a minute from disaster
I got so damn good at pretending that I could win a BAFTA
[Pre-Chorus]
My world's spinning the wrong way 'round
Yeah, I'm smiling, but I'm lowkey down
Tryna find something to laugh about, oh
[Chorus]
Oh, ain't it funny how
I seem fine, but I'm depressed?
I look so pretty, but I'm a mess
I think I'm immune to happiness, oh, why?
Oh, ain't it funny how
I wanna be brave, I'm terrified
To get myself dressed and go outside
I say I'm okay, I'm fine, all jokes aside
[Post-Chorus]
If I don't laugh, I'll cry, cry, cry
If I don't laugh, I'll cry, cry, cry, cry, cry
[Verse 2]
I don't want no conversation
I'm not good around new people
I'd rather stick to what I know and watch Malcolm in thе Middle
[Pre-Chorus]
Feeling lonely when I'm in thе crowd
Treading water tryin' not to drown
Tryna find something to laugh about, oh
[Chorus]
Oh, ain't it funny how
I seem fine, but I'm depressed?
I look so pretty, but I'm a mess
I think I'm immune to happiness, oh, why?
Oh, ain't it funny how
Wanna be brave, I'm terrified
To get myself dressed and go outside
I say I'm okay, I'm fine, all jokes aside
[Post-Chorus]
If I don't laugh, I'll cry, cry, cry
If I don't laugh, I'll cry, cry, cry, cry, cry
If I don’t laugh, I’ll cry, cry, cry
If I don’t laugh, I’ll cry, cry, cry, cry, cry (Oh)
[Chorus]
Oh, ain't it funny how
I seem fine, but I'm depressed? (Yeah, I’m depressed)
I look so pretty, but I'm a mess (I’m a mess)
I think I'm immune to happiness, oh, why? (Oh)
Oh, ain't it funny how
Wanna be brave, I'm terrified (Yeah, I’m terrified)
To get myself dressed and go outside
I say I'm okay, I'm fine, all jokes aside
[Post-Chorus]
If I don't laugh, I'll cry, cry, cry (cry)
If I don't laugh, I'll cry, cry, cry, cry, cry
If I don't laugh, I'll cry all night (I’ll cry all night, and)
If I don't laugh, I'll cry for the rest of my f*cking life (Haha)

LESS DEPRESSED Song Review: Why Fans Love It
When "LESS DEPRESSED" arrived on September 26, 2025, it felt like Anne-Marie peeling back another layer of her public persona. Fans are already treating it as one of her most emotionally raw releases—and that’s no small thing in pop.
Streaming & momentum:
We don’t yet see definitive numbers for "LESS DEPRESSED" in charts or streams (it’s too new to show up in major data trackers). But we can look at Anne-Marie’s current streaming context:
Anne-Marie has tens of millions of monthly listeners on Spotify—she’s firmly in that tier of pop acts with a broad, global reach.
Her songs like "Rockabye", "2002", "Friends", etc., continue to rack up high cumulative plays—tracking views of her catalog shows she’s in the billions of total streams.
In interviews and fan chatter, "LESS DEPRESSED" is being compared to her earlier single “DEPRESSED,” which has had viral traction (e.g. snippets circulated, used in social videos).
On YouTube, fans report seeing early uploads of lyric/visualizer versions of "LESS DEPRESSED" hitting thousands or tens of thousands of views within days—less than viral megahit numbers, but strong for a new drop.
So the momentum is there, even if the big numbers haven’t fully emerged.
Social buzz & fan voices:
From the moment it dropped, fans began hunting for it. Some of the trends:
On TikTok / X, hashtags like `#LESSDEPRESSED`, `#AnneMarieMood`, `#FeelHer` are popping up. Creators use short chorus lines as voiceovers—“I’m fine but I’m depressed” over everyday scenes.
One fan on TikTok said, “It’s like she’s voicing what I can’t admit,” layering the song over a dreary morning routine.
On Reddit / pop music forums, responses are cautiously enthusiastic. People say: “This feels more grown than her last single,” or “I’m still processing it.” Some thread-goers debate whether it will grow more over time rather than explode quickly.
A few fans have written that "LESS DEPRESSED" is “the one they replay when no one is watching”—a kind of private anthem.
What this shows is: people are listening for meaning, not just melody.
The artist’s voice & context:
Anne-Marie’s public story lends weight to "LESS DEPRESSED". In prior interviews, she has spoken candidly about postnatal anxiety, the emotional impact of motherhood, and how she feels her “brain is rewired” after life changes. She’s said that returning to music after giving birth felt daunting.
That doesn’t guarantee a song’s success—but in this case, it gives the lyrics credibility. Fans often point out that "LESS DEPRESSED" sounds like it’s coming from lived experience rather than studio guesswork.
In playlists, sets & shared spaces:
Though young, the song is already being slipped into playlists labeled "Chill Pop", "Sad Hits", "Late Night Vibes"—mixes where people cue up music for reflection.
At shows and small gigs, some fans report "LESS DEPRESSED" being teased or included as a set change: the crowd “settles in” when the intro plays.
In DJ sets, especially in more boutique pop / “mood” segments, some have tried placing it between upbeat tracks to ground the energy.
It’s not dominating dance floors yet, but it’s carving its niche in personal, low-key moments.
Why it’s on repeat:
Here’s what’s making people hit replay:
Emotional honesty: It doesn’t tiptoe around sadness—it names it. That recognition makes listeners feel understood.
Sound + vulnerability: The production doesn’t overshadow the lyrics; it supports them. You can hear the heartbreak without losing the melody.
Timing & resonance: In a cultural moment when talking about mental health is more mainstream, a song like this feels urgent and necessary—not just pretty.
Dual identity: It’s both a “pop song” and a confessional track. That tension means you can listen superficially or deeply, and both work.
So if "LESS DEPRESSED" is already being replayed, it's because listeners find an echo of their own internal struggle in it—and they keep going back to hear it again.
