Indie-pop singer/songwriter Luke Mock released his chill yet upbeat single “What You Deserve,” featuring irresistible vocal harmonies, catchy lyrics, and groovy instrumentals.
Luke Mock is an indie-pop artist hailing from Auburn. His music immerses you in a captivating whirlwind of emotions, driven by catchy hooks, and delivered with genuine charm. With honesty and diving into his personal side at the core of Mock’s music, he forges connections and resonates with others. Compared to the likes of Shawn Mendes, Charlie Puth, and Julia Michaels, his captivating vocals and infectious pop music elements captivate audiences.
“What You Deserve” is not your typical sad pop song, instead Luke Mock opts for an upbeat feel to the composition. Produced entirely by him with the help of a few friends, the song is professional and well thought out. The single is about Mock reflecting on a past relationship where he felt unable to provide his partner with what they deserved, primarily due to bad timing and his own journey of self-discovery, with elements of upbeat madness and sadness.
The song immediately brings you in with an upbeat guitar and percussion, inviting the listener into his melancholy world. Fading just as fast as it started, Mock brings in his acoustic guitar, hitting your ears with his soft yet powerful vocals. Singing, “It was the wrong time/For you to walk in my life/I just couldn’t suffice/Something ’bout it all didn’t feel right,” he reflects on how he couldn’t give his partner what they needed, and it was the wrong place and wrong time. Simple yet complex, the lyrics tear at your heartstrings and leave you tearful.
As he brings you through the first verse, the chorus suddenly pounds in your ears with infectious guitars and upbeat percussion, with overlaying harmonies. Keeping these instrumentals into the second verse, Mock sings, “It’s been a long time//Since I met someone with your heart/Oh baby right from the start/You reached your hand out but I was too far.” Although these lyrics are sad, he doesn’t let you feel that way with his energetic backing guitars and pop sensibilities. He could not give the person “what they deserve,” as the rest of the song keeps this steady rhythm, Mock tells the tragic story but adds a hopeful tone for his future.
