FOR FANS OF Lizzy McAlpine, Gracie Abrams, or Kacey Musgraves

Alaina Margaret, known for her soul-stirring folk music, invites listeners to decipher a secret language between first loves. “42 (It Wouldn’t Mean a Thing)” is a hauntingly penned single recounting the unspoken signs that emerge in the aftermath of heartbreak. Alaina Margaret shares, “The song explores the experience of taking off the rose-colored glasses and realizing everything wasn’t quite as wonderful as it seemed.” 

The significance of “42” is tied to the experience of seeing angel numbers (111, 222, etc.) in everyday life. This particular number became a recurring symbol, often leaving an eerie memory of the past. Alaina Margaret’s reminiscent storytelling draws from a place of grief and longing but comes out clean on the other side, transformed. The atmosphere of “42” transports you back to the romanticism of first love, only to realize the image in your head was tainted from the start.
