On “Some Love,” Dailla doesn’t so much write a song as she opens a wound. Her latest single strips back the polish of pop to reveal something jagged, flickering, and deeply personal. If 2020s alt-pop is marked by hyper-personalized emotional storytelling, Dailla pushes the genre further—into the realm of stark self-exposure.
The chorus is disarmingly plain: “Gimme some love, gimme soul. I don’t wanna cry anymore.” In a lesser artist’s hands, these words might read as trite. But Dailla delivers them like a prayer—desperate, weary, and universal. It’s a chorus that doesn’t seek catharsis as much as it demands to be felt. She’s not searching for answers; she’s naming the ache.
Sonically, “Some Love” walks a fine line between punkish grit and alt-pop structure. The guitars growl, but never overshadow; the drums build pressure without release. This unresolved tension mirrors the lyrical content, offering listeners no escape, only immersion. It’s a bold choice—and it pays off.
Dailla’s influences are clear but never overbearing. There are shades of Olivia Rodrigo’s suburban angst, and Taylor Swift’s diaristic bravery. But there’s also something uniquely hers—a refusal to resolve, to sugarcoat, to step back from the edge. Like contemporaries Nieve Ella and Eileen Alister, she finds beauty in the unraveling.
With “Some Love,” Dailla doesn’t offer comfort—she offers company. It’s a rare, resonant thing: a pop song that speaks not just to heartbreak, but to the larger existential loneliness of being alive. She doesn’t light the way. She sits in the dark beside you—and that might be even more powerful.
