Far from your average love song, "Propranolol" is a heartfelt ode to the medication that helps many navigate the turbulent emotions of anxiety.
At its core, the song captures the intense highs and lows anxiety can bring, before delivering the sweet sense of relief that comes from finding something—or in this case, Propranolol—that provides calm amid the storm. With intricate guitar lines, a driving rhythm section, and Esme’s signature warm, earworm vocals, this track leaves a lasting impression on listeners, long after the final note fades.
