Like Before sees Clue shine outside of his comfort zone over the down-tempo, string driven production reminiscent of Mac Miller. With a falsetto hook, smooth verses and weighty themes, Like Before takes a deeper look into the mental health of an artist's feelings with the weight of the industry on his shoulders. The sung chorus digs deep into the mind of an aspiring artist, expressing the feeling of constantly struggling for momentum, capturing the humanising fight between passion and rejection.
