Different Lyrics – dodie | from “Not For Lack Of Trying”

Prepare to embrace the quirks with “Different,” track nine on dodie‘s sophomore album Not For Lack Of Trying, hitting shelves tomorrow on October 3, 2025 through Decca (UMO). This 12-song collection marks her first full-length since Build A Problem in 2020, diving deep into a decade of mental health navigation with the kind of raw, whimsical honesty that turned her from YouTube covers to indie darling. Announced just last month on August 15, dodie shared how she tackled life’s chaos in “bite-size pieces,” blending ukulele-tinged folk-pop with lush production that feels like a late-night heart-to-heart.

“Different” slots into the album’s introspective core, teasing a celebration of standing out amid the noise – think gentle melodies that build to affirming choruses, echoing the vulnerability in singles like “I’M FINE!” and “I Feel Bad For You, Dave.” Fans on forums are speculating it ties into her ongoing themes of self-acceptance, much like the cat-loving whimsy of “Darling, Angel, Baby” or the nostalgic pull of “Tall Kids.” With collabs like Greta Isaac adding fresh layers, the project balances humor and ache, from the unconvincing pep of the lead single to the closing resolve of “Not For Lack Of Trying.” It’s dodie at her most evolved, processing growth without the polish of perfection, all while keeping that signature warmth that makes you feel seen. Whether it’s the quirky confessions or the quiet triumphs, “Different” reminds us that oddity is the spark of real connection, fitting seamlessly into Not For Lack Of Trying’s tapestry of trying – and thriving – anyway. Dive into the Different lyrics below and unpack its unique introspection. Don’t miss other Not For Lack Of Trying tracks like I’M FINE! for more of dodie’s heartfelt indie pop.
