'These Days' finds Wallows caught between two people and two ways of living. The song pivots between a narrator watching someone they care about stay in what seems like an unhealthy relationship, and their own longing for that person. There's a quiet tenderness in the detail of caring enough to make sure someone sleeps on their side, set against the larger helplessness of watching them choose someone else. The track builds its argument through repetition, the chorus asking the same question over and over: are you feeling this, or am I wasting my time? It's a song about the gap between what you want to say and what you actually know, between trying to understand someone's choices and accepting you might never get an answer.

Wallows’ instinct-led approach to ‘Model’ meant working quickly enough to avoid overthinking, while trusting their growing studio experience.
Before becoming Wallows in 2017, Dylan Minnette, Braeden Lemasters and Cole Preston played as The Feaver and The Narwhals. Their documented pre-Wallows release is The Narwhals’ four-song EP from October 2014.
Dork’s April 2022 response to Harry Styles’ ‘As It Was’ put it alongside The Strokes, Wallows and Alfie Templeman. It was a description of the song’s place in pop at the time, not a claim about confirmed influences.
Wallows made 2024’s ‘Model’ with their largest shows in mind, but Alexandra Palace showed that the older songs had always contained the same live-ready foundations.
Wallows’ seven-track ‘More’ came from the same recording period as ‘Model’, but the band felt the songs had become a distinct collection rather than bonus material.
Wallows’ 2019 debut was built from a decade of friendship, self-doubt, jokes and songs that have remained central to their biggest live shows.
