Lauren Ruth Ward – We Are Grown Ups

Reflecting on the song’s freeing integrity, Ward says, “A culmination of shifting relationships left me feeling winded at one point mainly due to the amount of energy I spent on understanding an opposing side of an argument. I’m always game to hear someone else’s reality, share mine, and find a common ground but life ain’t always peaches and cream. I believe life is also more beautiful when you watch what you say but this song is me saying ‘fuck it, don’t care, you win, have a great life.’ Careless, immature, spiteful, a cathartic middle finger to the moments I’ve grinned and beared.”
