About This Track
'91' opens the album as a portrait of childhood in that year, before loss reshaped the life that follows. The song moves between two moments: a mother dancing through ordinary domestic life, and a present-day speaker caught between presence and absence, here but not home. Jack Antonoff co-wrote the track with Zadie Smith, and the lyrics work like a poem, each verse approaching the same emotional terrain from a different angle. The refrain catches the song's central tension: the speaker mirrors those around them, unable to leave even as they recognise they've already gone. Musically, the track builds from sparse observation into something more insistent, synth lines and drums accumulating weight as the emotional stakes clarify. By the final repetitions, the song has become almost incantatory, the phrase "just like you, I can't leave" worn smooth by repetition until it feels less like a choice than a condition. It's a careful, deliberate opening to the album; a song about being stuck that refuses easy resolution.

Paramore’s ‘Re: This Is Why’ was built on an unusually direct brief: let collaborators take the songs somewhere genuinely their own.
Six songs that map The Chicks’ country-pop hooks, sharply written stories and refusal to soften the point.
Carly Rae Jepsen opened the five-show run with an acoustic version; The Chicks returned to the same debut-era song for its finale.
Jack Antonoff’s 2024 fourth album did not leave Bleachers’ earlier concerns behind. It made room for love, friendship and the unsettled business of being here now.
Jack Antonoff’s band completed their Los Angeles mini-residency with a surprise appearance from The Chicks.
From Springsteen to The Beatles to REM, it's enough to put your hairs on end.
