Context, not a substitute.
Anti-Hero frames internal doubt as the central antagonist, which is why it resonates so strongly as both a hooky pop song and an intimate piece of songwriting.
Built around conversational writing rather than ornate metaphor.
Balances vulnerability with a knowing pop sensibility, making the song feel intimate but still radio-sized.
Works especially well as an entry point into the broader mood of Midnights.
