Background And Development
Finneas Wrote And Produced "What They'll Say About Us". It Was Inspired By The Spark Of Black Lives Matter Protests After Racial Inequality In The United States And The Death Of Canadian Actor Nick Cordero Who Died At The Age Of 41 From The Ongoing COVID-19 Pandemic. Finneas Wrote The Track In June 2020 While In Quarantine. In An Interview Over Zoom With The Wall Street Journal He Said "I Wrote This Song In June After Spending The Day At A Protest In Downtown LA Filled With Hope With The Prospect That Millions Of People Were Coming Together From All Over The World To Fight Against Institutionalized Racism And Inequality". He Further Stated "The Other Component Of The Song Was That I Was Very Closely Following Nick Cordero's Story On Instagram Via His Wife Amanda Kloots And Nick And His Wife Were Not People I'd Ever Met. I Don't Know Them At All. I Saw The Headlines About His Health Just Like Everybody Else Did. I Just Became Incredibly Attached To This Family That I’d Never Met Before. I Kind Of Wrote This Song As If You Were Singing To Your Loved One Who Was In A Hospital Bed While The World Was Protesting Outside. I Did Make A Point To Keep The Song Fairly Ambiguous Because I Know Everybody's Sort Of Going Through Different Circumstances Of The Same Things Right Now". Composition And Lyrics
"What They'll Say About Us" Begins "calmly And Reassuringly" "You're Tired Now Lay Down/I'll Be Waiting To Give You The Good News/It Might Take Patience/And When You Wake Up It Won't Be Over/So Don't You Give Up". However As The Beat And Other Instruments Begin To Arrive The Soundstage Changes To Be Hazy. John Pareles Writing For The New York Times Says It "mortality Begins To Haunt The Song All The Way To A Devastating Last Line" Noting The Lyrics "It Might Take Patience/And If You Don't Wake Up/I'll Know You Tried To/I Wish You Could See Him/He Looks Just Like You".

Background and development
Finneas wrote and produced "What They'll Say About Us". It was inspired by the spark of Black Lives Matter protests after racial inequality in the United States and the death of Canadian actor Nick Cordero, who died at the age of 41 from the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. Finneas wrote the track in June 2020 while in quarantine.

He further stated: "The other component of the song was [that] I was very closely following Nick Cordero's story on Instagram, via his wife [Amanda Kloots], and Nick and his wife were not people I'd ever met. I don't know them at all. I saw the headlines about his health, just like everybody else did. I just became incredibly attached to this family that I’d never met before. I kind of wrote this song as if you were singing to your loved one who was in a hospital bed while the world was protesting outside. I did make a point to keep the song fairly ambiguous because I know everybody's sort of going through different circumstances of the same things right now".
Composition and lyrics
"What They'll Say About Us" begins "calmly and reassuringly": "You're tired now, lay down/I'll be waiting to give you the good news/It might take patience/And when you wake up, it won't be over/So don't you give up". However, as the beat and other instruments begin to arrive, the soundstage changes to be hazy. John Pareles, writing for The New York Times, says it "mortality begins to haunt the song, all the way to a devastating last line", noting the lyrics, "It might take patience/And if you don't wake up/I'll know you tried to/I wish you could see him/He looks just like you".
Reception
