LYRICS
Time to face up to the inevitable,
I’m terrified I’m losing it from staying at home,
I dumb it down with Jeopardy and late night TV
(And I don’t even like it,)
Safe to say,
I’m glad I’m not the only one,

(And I don’t have time for all this time I’m wasting,)

What are you trying to fix me for?
Maybe I’m broken
But I’m not sure,
Am I depressed or am I just bored?
Apathy and irony,
postmodern anxiety
Tell me you’re ok,
“Yea? What’s that like?”
Rose-tinted glasses,
It must be nice
(Doing your best (Alt))
Living your best while you die inside
Apathy and Irony; Postmodern Anxiety

I don’t mind the fireworks that keep me awake
(But they still kinda scare me)
I don’t think the melatonin works at all,
My moneyplant’s dying and the dust is collecting,
(And my therapist hates me)
It’s Monday morning, sleeping through the wake up call

What are you trying to fix me for?
Maybe I’m broken
But I’m not sure,
Am I depressed or am I just bored,
Apathy and irony
And postmodern anxiety
Tell me you’re ok,
Yea? What’s that like,
Rose-colored glasses,
It must be nice
Living your best while you die inside
Apathy and Irony and Postmodern Anxiety

"PMA" was written at this time and lyrically inspired by the "mental and emotional fatigue that we all went through as a society", according to lead singer alex Gaskarth. In the aforementioned Rock Sound interview, Gaskarth explained: "It was really about ... connecting with that shared experience of loneliness and trauma, and somehow being OK with it, because we have to be." alex Gaskarth later expanded on these sentiments during an interview with Kerrang!: "PMA" kind of stemmed from lockdown—the song is about loneliness and isolation, and the realisation that this was a shared experience. There was something wholly unique about the fact that we were all collectively lonely as hell for a while there, and "PMA" talks about almost finding hope in the fact that we were all in it together. A very heavy sense of doom and gloom was lingering, but so too was there an overwhelming feeling that we were experiencing this as one. Ultimately, we’re all going through this together, and it’s kind of an opportunity to learn and grow. "PMA" is about that dichotomy, and finding the in between in all this. When the band had finished writing "PMA", they realized "it would be better served as a duet ... because about this feeling of togetherness". Alex decided to reach out to Heather Baron-Gracie of the English band Pale Waves, as he had always been a fan of her band's work. In an interview with NME, Baron-Gracie explained: "I was in Nashville and you were in LA. We spoke about our love for music and then [Alex] sent me the track and it said 'Post-Modern Anxiety rough'. I was like 'How is this rough? – It already sounds so amazing!'" Because everyone involved was vaccinated, Baron-Gracie was able to record her parts alongside All Time Low in the studio, which, as Gaskarth noted, was "the first time since the pandemic started that [he] got to get in the room with an artist from another band and work on something." Josh Carter of Alternative Press called "PMA" an "exposé of emotional transparency in the wake of COVID-19" and "the perfect conclusion after a year-and-a-half of uncertainty." Tamara May of Wall of Sound wrote that the song was "cathartic and catchy", "acting as that self-reassurance you’ve been searching for".
