Insults

Insults is the third and final single off of Wesley Evans' debut album Trust Issues. The song was released on January 29th, 2018; and received a remix under a month later, on February 19th, 2018.

Background
Insults was written for Trust Issues and was ultimately placed on the deluxe track list. Due to the minimalist nature of the song, Evans originally considered it as only a B-Side. However, Evans ultimately scrapped the deluxe track that was planned to be the third single, and released Insults instead. Evans released the remix shortly after, knowing that it would do better commercially than the original.

Composition
Insults is an electropop song with a notable saxophone hook, lasting 3 minutes and 16 seconds. The song was written in E major at 117 beats per minute, and follows the chord progression of f#m-g#m-E-c#m. The song consists predominantly of an electric bass drum, and bells enhancing the chords.

Remix
On February 19th, 2018, Evans released a remix of the song. The remix lasts 3 minutes and 40 seconds, and contains heavier drums and a more distorted saxophone hook.

Lyrics
I don’t wanna hurt

Don’t treat me like dirt

Just need some support

Calling me names

But you claim

its all fun and games

Let’s just be adults

No need for insults

No need for insults

Just stop this rampage

You may be outraged

But please act your age

Calling me names

But you claim

its all fun and games

Let’s just be adults

No need for insults

No need for insults

I Don’t understand your attitude

There is no need for you to be rude

Guess you’d rather be in solitude

Let’s just be adults

No need for insults

No need for insults
