Caroline Romano Unveils Raw and Relatable New Single, “IDK These Days”

Caroline Romano’s latest single, “IDK These Days,” is a stunningly raw and introspective ballad that taps into the emotional complexities of feeling lost and disconnected.

Released on January 31, 2025, the song offers a vulnerable look into the inner world of a young artist navigating uncertainty and self-doubt. It captures the emotional turbulence of youth with breathtaking honesty.

IDK These Days

The inspiration behind “IDK These Days” comes from a deeply personal moment in Romano’s life. She recalls a conversation with her mom where, amidst overwhelming emotion, all she could say was, “IDK these days.” A simple yet profound admission encapsulated her emotional struggle—feeling overwhelmed without a clear reason. This vulnerability sparked the creation of the song’s central theme: that it’s okay not to have everything figured out and to embrace the uncertainty of life. Romano’s ability to transform such a personal experience into a universally relatable anthem makes the track so emotionally impactful.

Lyrically, “IDK These Days” is a candid exploration of mental health, self-doubt, and the pressures of trying to keep it all together. Romano’s honest approach to these themes is comforting and empowering, offering a sense of solidarity to listeners struggling with similar feelings. In her own words, the song serves as a reminder that “these feelings won’t last forever” and that it’s perfectly fine not to have all the answers at this stage in life.

What makes “IDK These Days” stand out is its authenticity, which is reflected in the lyrics and how the song was created. Written during a snowstorm in Nashville with collaborators Cali Rodi and John the Dropout, the track’s production is as unfiltered as its message. Romano opted to keep the original guitar and vocal takes from the demo session, allowing the raw emotion of the moment to shine through. This decision results in a version of the song that feels remarkably intimate and genuine, perfectly capturing the vulnerability at the heart of the lyrics.

How the Good Girl’s Die Upcoming EP

“IDK These Days” also offers a glimpse into what’s to come from Romano’s upcoming EP, How The Good Girls Die, which is set for release on February 21, 2025. The single is a fitting preview of the EP’s emotional depth, and its themes of self-discovery and the messiness of youth are sure to be explored further in the project.

The single sets the tone for the upcoming EP, “There’s this element of internal spiralling that occurs more and more with each track on the EP, and I think “IDK These Days” plays a critical role in the internal monologue of this project,” she explains in an interview with Switching Styles.
