i love how she drops the cake and immediately makes another one, i would've just cried and then gone to bed

i wish the ending could be a scene where she bakes the cake for herself and just eats it happily alone

This was frustrating to watch cause she dropped so many cakes 😩 but since everyone has different interpretations, this is mine. To me, I think the cake symbolizes her heart. It fell many times and broke to pieces. And each time she refused to give up on the relationship, so she bakes a new one. That’s like her mending her own heart. Eventually it got to the end where she doesn’t have much left, so she gave it her all hoping it would work. It did, but the cake is much smaller now. Because her heart has been through so much, it’s no longer the same.

For me, the cakes falling mean all the mistakes committed in the relationship, and how she kept coming back and giving her best. And in the end, when the pavement was filled with all the past cakes, she was more careful, so she won't trip with the other cakes, and could make it out of there.

the way I just wanna be baking with gracie

Why is she so underrated?? She literally sings like heaven.

The director of this music video deserves a gold medal. what a concept absolutely justify the lyrics

This is how i feel with all the relationships, friendships and otherwise, ive had in my life. Giving so much each time, wondering what i did wrong to mess it all up when they ended. Eventually learning to “let it happen” was the best option. Just letting relationships happen, giving what i can in the present moment, but not too much at once to where theres a huge loss each time that meant nothing. Making sure to take care and make every moment quality over quantity. That’s what i got out of the song personally

Moral of the story: Never let gracie carry the cake, you can let her bake it.

Did anyone feel some severe pain in their heart every time the cake fell or was it just me😭

Gracie is so underrated! Her songs are exactly my music taste

its sad that we always got enough recept items to do a new cake for others but never have enough to do one for ourselves

When she first trying to make the cakes they were all perfect and it symbolized her trying to put up a fake personality but when she made the last imperfect cake she could finally walk free.

In my mind, the cakes represents her giving the best pieces of herself to someone, just trying to please them but eventually she runs out these perfect things about herself (the ingredients) because she thinks she keeps messing up everything she's giving to this person where in reality, it's the person (her tripping over the steps) that's messing it up. But she only sees it as her making a mistake so she keeps trying and eventually she gives up and just gives the person all she has left, hoping it'll be enough for them.

*A U T H E N T I C v i e w s* and Gracie Abrams the duo making virals

I found some of your songs when I was depressed with my life in general. Somehow, in the next couple years, I found that songs again... But this time, my life is much more better. I still remember vividly my feelings when I first heard your songs. It's kinda awesome when music can remind people about their past. Well, guys, if someone broke your heart today, just remember one thing: life moves on, you're gonna be alright mate 🧡

She's that type of singer that people wanna try to keep for themselves so nobody knows about it except themselves but at the same time you wanna show her out to the world because she's so amazing.

Who else thinks she's underrated artist?

For me the cake represents her personality. She wants herself perfect. She wants herself with no flaws. That's why the cake kept falling. But when she made an imperfect cake. She accepts her imperfections. According to me, when someone accepts their flaws, then only will they be perfect. And finally she can walk around the world.

Dang she has SO much patience i wouldve given up so much sooner😭😭

To me, the cake keeps falling over and over again because it’s too much, too soon. It’s like when you’re trying to win someone back or earn their trust again after hurting them, but it keeps failing because it’s too much for them too soon and it’s too overwhelming. It only works with the smaller cake because sometimes trust is earned again little by little.

back to this song after a week and im still obsessed

everyone probably took this video in different ways, but to me this song relates to me, as I've always been the people pleaser, waiting for everyone's approval, and whenever I feel like I'm not doing good enough I start all over again, I feel like I have no control over my life and what makes others happy I should be happy with that and my happiness does not matter.

Perhaps the theme of this song is that you don’t have to entirely give the best version of yourself, perhaps you only need to put out who you are in the most normal way you can be

The bigger cakes meant trying really hard every time, giving more than what you have in yourself, but failing all the time cause that's not who you are, you're just trying to be perfect. But finally, when you just accept what actually you are capable of giving to the one you love, not more, not less, but just what WE HAVE, all of it of WHAT YOU ARE that's got a taste in the smaller cake :')

a masterpiece. u just get better and better, ilysm 🥺

the way she smiles at the end makes my heart melt Buudy,u deserve a hug for ur great job

The story behind the clip is not something complicated, just at first she tried to make perfections, and then by the end, she got to that she should be only herself. To make it happen, she doesn't have to be perfect, but herself.

My asian parents would say "just eat the top part it's still good"

she always AMAZES ME HOW THE HECK DO YOU DO IT

BEST MUSIC VIDEO EVER

No cakes were harmed in the making of this film. 😂

You just don't make a bad song, do you Gracie?

I really want Gracie to go viral and get nominated for best new artist next year at the grammy bc the girl is mega talented and DESERVES MORE RECOGNITION

happy 3rd bday mess it up💘💘💘

There’s something so pure and wholesome about Gracie. Simple and sweet

this is the reason why gracie missed the guy's 21st birthday

I think the cake represents her trying to give her best, giving her all but she would always mess it up because maybe she gave too much of herself. By the end the she’d learned that something big isn’t always the best option, so she ended up giving a smaller piece of herself and it was what worked best.

I have never been more obsessed with a song in my life 😭 I found this just a day ago and I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve played it-I seriously can’t get enough of it ❤ this is my absolute favorite song and you are so talented omg. this is a pure masterpiece

I've always interpreted this song as kind of her learning how to apologize for mistakes (especially big) ones she may have made in a relationship (it doesn't have to be romantic). She's messed up in some, which seems to have resulted in their relationship being damaged in some way. She lied about being okay and bottled up her problems until they likely (inevitably) exploded, rather than properly dealing with them. Her cake is her attempt at an apology. The ingredients are the personality traits that she is putting forward to form a new "better" version of herself. She's measured everything out, she's followed all the instructions, and she's neatly iced and decorated the cake. She even puts the first few cakes on a cake stand (or a pedestal in an effort try and make it look as good as possible). Obviously, this isn't sustainable (hence she keeps accidentally dropping them). Dressing up her apology or herself to try isn't actually dealing with the issue at hand. Something keeps going wrong and either she or the person receiving this apology recognizes and understands that she doesn't get it. It's too much all at once, and/or not what they NEED. (Kind of like when someone says "sorry" but they're not understanding the reason why something upset you so much. Like during having a long hard day, you have a breakdown down after you accidentally break a hair tie. Clearly it's not about the hair tie, right? It's just the final straw. Someone buying you a new hair tie isn't going to fix the actual issue). In the end we see that she's messy (from all her failed attempts) and her cake is small and it's on a plate. She clearly cares a lot for this relationship. Her messiness shows that whatever happened has affected her a lot. And despite it being small and messy, she's clearly put her all into this cake. It's clear that she's doing her best and she's not trying to jump right back into the relationship without dealing with the reason they had a falling out in the first place. Remember, this was brought on because of her dishonesty "I told you I lied", and her keeping her feelings bottled up. It doesn't matter that she lied about being "fine", likely to spare the other person's feelings, it's the fact that she didn't trust her partner/friend to be there for her. So, she takes it one step at a time, avoiding making the same mistakes she's made before (carefully stepping around the fallen cakes, using a plate now rather than a glass cake stand) and journeying to the other person's house to give a heartfelt and sincere apology. One where she actually understands the mistake she made, and is ready to actually start fixing them.

ANYONE HERE BEFORE THIS SONG GOES VIRAL?!?!?!?!

Lyrics: Opened two double doors Typical, pretty sure I could grow up Probably chemical I took up walking to turn it all off Doesn't feel bearable Guess I thought when I left it would all stop Hmm, it would all stop Did I fall out of line when I called you? When I told you "I'm fine", you were lied to How could I think that all that I gave you was enough? 'Cause every time I get too close, I just go mess it up Funny that (funny that) didn't work (didn't work) I could be anywhere, I'm on your block Cynical (cynical), terrible (terrible) Kicking myself with my gut in a knot 'Cause I heard that you're (heard that you're) happier (happier) Hope that you're sleeping well knowing I'm not I'm doing too much, hmm Did I fall (did I fall) out of line (out of line) when I called you? When I told (when I told) you "I'm fine" (you "I'm fine") You were lied to (I told you I'm lying) How could I think that all that I gave you was enough? 'Cause every time I get too close, I just go mess it up I keep thinking maybe if you let me back in We can make it better, breaking every habit Pull myself together, you could watch it happen Let it happen, let it happen I keep thinking maybe if you let me back in We can make it better, breaking every habit Pull myself together, you could watch it happen Let it happen, let it happen I keep thinking maybe if you let me back in We can make it better, breaking every habit Pull myself together, you could watch it happen Let it happen, let it happen I keep thinking maybe if you let me back in We can make it better, breaking every habit Pull myself together, you could watch it happen Let it happen, let it happen

The courage and way she went back to baking another cake over and over again without sitting bck crying about the lost cake

i like to think that the way she starts leaving all the ingredients out to start over is symbolism of building up walls based on what happened in the past, or being prepared to face what already happened in a relationship happening again, either with the same partner or the next one

the effort and the cake falling apart are the perfect visual representation of me having mental breakdown

I can’t with how talented she is, the tone of her voice is un paralleled and she sings about things that are important+have meaning

声が癒しでしかない！！🥲❤️❤️❤️

all of her songs are so amazing

NOW GIVE US AN ALBUM!

I like how so many people have so many different interpretations of this song. It's a good concept when so many people can relate but for different reasons.

She is a Masterpiece Her voice is iconic She is forever legendary ❤

Can’t believe I’ve been looping this song for almost 5 months 🥺

this really a sad song She is giving everything and she still thinks it’s not enough it’s simple I know it hurts but he doesn’t love you She still thinks it’s her mistake because he keeps giving her hope 💔🥺

imagine gracie showing up at your door with one of her homemade cakes 🥺🥺🥺🥺

This song should be played at the end of a really great series :)

The metaphor is incredible, every cake she gets closer and closer to what she wants, she's running out of ingredients and shes running out of time, i n the wake of failed attempts she finally gets to be where she set out to go...

nobody: us: going back to our toxic ex that breaks our cakes 💀💀💀💀

just heard this on the radio, Gracie Abrams welcome to my life!

my interpretation is that she is building up the courage to confess. when the cake falls it symoblizes she doubts herself and looses the courage to go to them. Then, she just shows up even if she isnt very confident.

The anxiety everytime she dropped the cake. MANNN

I LOVE GRACIE'S MUSIC VIDEOS BECAUSE THEY'RE SIMPLE BUT BEAUTIFUL

can't believe I miss all of your songs! All of them are beyond awesome

This song deserves to be more popular, that's it!

this song is so good. obviously nothing new for gracie. WHY DOES SHE NOT GET WAYYYYY MORE ATTENTION????

Conan and Gracie with a new song? A GREAT DAY TO BE ALIVE

damn... no one can have more patience than her. she's a damn good singer... and very underrated.

What I grasped from here is that putting in your best effort does not guarantee success, repeated effort does. Some day you're bound to succeed and that can be any day, even the most unexpected one

I love the video. I did't expect this. She represents perfectly a stubborn heart. There are many times when things don't happen as we expected. Sometimes is for our own actions, sometimes because is not meant to be. But, she shows how someone desires something with all the heart that giving up is not an option.

I love how she is telling a whole love story in a 3 minute music video

The cake is the metaphor

Try this song when ya have hard times...istg it helps 🥺🥺

Gracie doesn't have aa single bad song. She's awesome

I love seeing how much Gracie has grown in the industry. She is not our little secret anymore, but she deserves it all!!🥺❤

this mv never gets old

I was today years old when I discovered you and I am already in love. the concept is amazing and excellently executed. What a beautiful song, with a video that aesthatically compliments it.

Does the cake symbolises her inability to connect/walls that she builds up? Her mistakes and .. she’s not giving up? If that is it. Then this is a masterpiece!!!

love her voice, her writing, love how she presents herself and her whole vibe, please don't change...hope she make it big

Its so interesting to see how different everyones interpretation of the video is, so heres mine. The cake represents her doing her best in this new relationship and she keeps messing up and just doing what she did before, its very methodical and tactical, but we can see that she gets more and more desperate, which causes her to drop the cake again and again, before she finally realises that its probably best to start small and that makes it easier to carry.

Why am I seeing this in 2023 i regret my life like how was i living without this

I think the cakes represent how many times she changed herself to make him love her Every time the cake fell to the ground it’s her failure then she go back and try again and again she keeps trying because he is not honest with her and he keeps giving her hope

so no one is gonna mention the fact the letters that fell of the fridge say, “ he lied” SHES SO TALENTED AND THIS WAS BEAUTIFUL I CANTTTT

literally so calming

Her music videos are so soft, soothing and comforting🤍

until you learn to just let it happen, you keep giving your best to someone but you know you're just going to mess it up. Thankful for Gracie ♡

She is the daughter of JJ abrams the director of Starwars. That’s why her camera in every video always a top notch

"every time get too close i just go mess it up" story of my life fr

when is a behind the scenes coming out????

one day this will be used for a montage in a coming-of-age movie

This is a perfect example of never giving up , if you put your mind to something you WILL do it.

you know what is also sad? that person that she gave the last cake to only knew she made that small cake but not the fact that she had made so many to give away but failed :(

The end is so hard i think. Because we see how she tries to get an solucion and at the end she bakes a small cake with the rest off the ingriedients. And it’s Shows That how you lose the trust in People when you get hurt every Time. But she still gaves her Last piece of cake to the person who hurts her.

Gracie, If you ever read my comment... Just wanted to let you know I've never felt anything like this before in my life. You're music is overwhelming and eventhough I don't relate, I cry A LOT. You have no clue how much I love you and your music❤❤❤

My interpretation is that she trys her best for others but the others don't appreciate what she has done (her dropping the cakes) so she finally realized her through worth (the ingredients running out) so she let free and be herself

This happens each time you give your best to others and they end up breaking you instead 😩😔

BRUHHHH YOU, JOSHUA BASSETT, CONAN GRAY, AND KALI RELEASED MUSIC AT THE SAME TIME 🥺😭😤

Her patience is simply astounding

This is how toxic relationship with yourself feels like. Where you always end up questioning yourself.

This is my most favourite. Thank you.

the way this video makes me feel so incredibly frustrated perfectly represents how it feels being in a relationship where you’re the only one giving. perfect cinematic masterpiece and song, AS USUAL.
