This week on 1001 Songs That Make You Want To Die, we take off with “Fly Away” by Tones and I.
After busking her way up the East Coast and dropping one of the biggest songs in the world, Toni Watson followed it up with this glossy, motivational, “believe in yourself” anthem. It’s big. It’s theatrical. It’s inspirational. It’s also… slightly unhinged.
We break down the lyrics, the “I had a dream that someday I would just fly away” optimism, and whether this is genuine empowerment or the musical equivalent of a Qantas ad at 6 am when you’re emotionally vulnerable.
We get into the production choices, the voice, the build, and the legacy.
 We check the charts.
 We spin the Fight Wheel.
And yes, someone has to answer the most important question:
Could you beat her in a fight?
Strap in. We’re leaving the runway.

This week on 1001 Songs That Make You Want To Die, we dive headfirst into “Be Alright” by Dean Lewis — the heartbreak anthem that somehow became one of the most-streamed Australian songs of the 2010s.
On the surface, it’s a breakup ballad about betrayal, moving on, and your mate telling you to put the phone away. But when you really listen to the lyrics? It’s confusing. It’s melodramatic. It’s packed with pronouns. And somehow, Robbo is still out on the veranda, punching a dart while offering relationship advice.
We break down the verses, unpack the logic (or lack of it), question the emotional math, and of course spin the Fight Wheel to see which host has to step into the ring. There are odds. There are verdicts. There are potentially chaotic mauls.
Is this song genuinely moving… or just expertly engineered sad-boy pop?
 Is “mate” ever acceptable in a chorus?
 And most importantly — will it really be alright?
Probably not.

This week on 1001 Songs That Make You Want To Die, we take aim at Lips Are Movin by Megan Trainor — a song that somehow convinced the world it was quirky, empowering, and not just the same chorus shouted at us for three straight minutes.
We break down how this track rode the post-All About That Bass wave, why the lyrics make absolutely no sense if you think about them for more than five seconds, and how Trainor built an entire pop empire on retro vibes and lyrical confidence that may or may not be earned.
There’s production chat, pop culture context, questionable messaging, and the important stuff — like whether Megan Trainor could beat one of our hosts in a fight.
Was this song harmless fun, or a crime against radio listeners everywhere?
Press play and let us complain properly.

In this episode of 1001 Songs That Make You Want To Die, we take on WHERE IS MY HUSBAND by RAYE — a song that somehow manages to be chaotic, catchy, and deeply unhinged all at once. We unpack the vocal acrobatics, the theatre-kid energy, and the lyrical panic of a woman sprinting through emotional traffic with zero plan and maximum confidence. Along the way, we ask the important questions: is this genius, is this annoying, or is it both at the same time? Plus, a brutally honest breakdown of the song’s backstory, production choices, cultural context, and the inevitable question that defines the show — does this track earn its place on the list, or is it getting off lightly?

This week on 1001 Songs That Make You Want To Die, we take on “Zombie” by YUNGBLUD — a song that wants very badly to be important, emotional, and generation-defining… and somehow ends up sounding like a Hot Topic TED Talk.
We dig into the song’s trauma-core lyrics, its earnest but exhausting messaging, and the strange space YUNGBLUD occupies between punk rebellion and motivational poster. Along the way we ask the real questions: is this raw honesty, manufactured angst, or just shouting feelings until they feel profound?
There’s over-analysis, cultural side-quests, unnecessary hostility, and of course a fresh round of Could You Beat Them in a Fight? — because if you’re going to scream about society collapsing, you should at least be able to throw a punch.
It’s emotional. It’s loud. It’s well-meaning. And it might make you want to lie down on the floor and stare at the ceiling.
