Sally Boy sounds gloriously unbothered on “Thought I Was Dead,” and that confidence is the hook. A clean, immediate chorus makes it feel like the kind of song people are stumbling onto and replaying before lunch.
The track rides crisp drums, bright guitar shimmer, and a bassline that keeps everything taut. Vocals sit close to the mic, so every shrug and side-eye lands right at ear level, while the mix leaves just enough air to keep the gloss from feeling slick.
All of that makes it perfect for a packed train, a cheap iced coffee, and the mood of acting fine while the day is still loading. Summer is starting to show up, and this one fits the first hot afternoon nicely.
