This moody track finds The Neighbourhood vocalist Jesse Rutherford bothered by what his touring lifestyle does to his lover. While he's away living the life of a rock star, she's stuck brooding at home alone.
The tension between Rutherford and his lover is affecting their mental health. On the bridge he repeatedly cries "breaking down," reflecting his fear that they are being pushed to the edge. During that part of the song, The Neighbourhood bring back the same chords and guitar progression they used in the instrumental interlude of "Wiped Out!" That song, the title track of their sophomore album, has a theme of feeling depressed and worn out by life.
The song title does not appear in the lyrics and it's not immediately clear why it's named "softcore." Maybe the title alludes to Rutherford's confession in the first verse that "I'm too consumed with my own life."
The Neigbourhood quintet of Jesse Rutherford, Brandon Fried, Jeremiah Freedman, Zachary Abels and Michael Margott wrote the song along with the track's producer, Lars Stalfors. It finds them dabbling with contemporary sounds as Rutherford mixes his vulnerable lyrics with a continuous drum and trap-pop beat.
The Neighbourhood recorded the song for their 2018 self-titled album. They never released "Softcore" as a single, but in early 2022 it charted throughout Europe after going viral on the social media app TikTok.

The lyrics of The Neighbourhood’s “Softcore” logically read as if the addressee would be the vocalist’s significant other. That being said, it should be noted that the said individual can theoretically be another really close loved one in his life, such as maybe a child for instance.
And that is because the main point being put across by Jesse Rutherford is regret that he is not able to spend more time at home with this person, whom he loves wholly. And in his mind his extended absence at times, even if emotionally disturbing, is necessary, apparently in the name of feeding the fam.
So even though the profession of the vocalist is not specified, this piece comes off as one of those songs where a singer is speaking to one of the less-than-ideal aspects of being a successful professional musician. Apparently this less-than-ideal part of his profession is life on the road – something which separates him from the person he loves the most.
And in this case it can be deemed that the vocalist is truly suffering without the addressee, whose presence he metaphorically notes as having an edifying effect on his life. But again, he must venture out and do what he has to do as a man in this world.
That said, there really doesn’t seem to be any lyrical clue as to why this song is entitled “softcore”. Maybe said title is meant to allude to this being an emotionally vulnerable piece, one where Jesse is not afraid to shamelessly express his dependency on his lover.
This track is from The Neighbourhood’s third LP, which is also titled “The Neighbourhood”. This self-titled project was launched by Columbia Records on 9 March 2018.
“Softcore” was not released as a single from the project.
Writing credit for “Softcore” goes out to the following Neighbourhood members:
The band composed it alongside Lars Stalfors, the producer of the track.
This track reached viral status on TikTok and Shazam circa early 2022. For example, in January of 2022, it was one of the most searched songs globally on Shazam .
I definitely didn’t hear it from tiktok
I did lmao its all over it couple weeks back n now
I’m really proud that I found this song before it went viral
Yeah I’m happy I actually listened to their album when it came out before it was popular on …TikTok
I’m glad I found it on tiktok because I would’ve never found it otherwise and would’ve been missing out on a masterpiece for possibly forever!
eh? isn’t this an old song but a great one. wasn’t this also popular at year 2020? i heard this song a lot of times, although i guess thanks to tiktok, it’s getting popular again.
yea i’m also happy that i found tiktok because i understand this song and it help me when im feeling down
Can i just know the name of this song’s genre?

You've been my muse for a long time You get me through every dark night I'm always gone, out on the go I'm on the run and you're home alone I'm too consumed with my own life
Are we too young for this? Feels like I can't move
Sharing my heart It's tearing me apart But I know I'd miss you, baby, if I left right now Doing what I can, tryna be a man And every time I kiss you, baby I can hear the sound of breaking down
I've been confused as of late (yeah) Watching my youth slip away (yeah) You're like the Sun, you wake me up But you drain me out if I get too much I might need you or I'll break
Are we too young for this? Feels like I can't move
Sharing my heart It's tearing me apart But I know I'd miss you, baby, if I left right now Doing what I can, tryna be a man And every time I kiss you, baby I can hear the sound of breaking down
(Breaking down, breaking down, breaking down) (Breaking down, breaking down, breaking down)
I don't want to play this part But I do, all for you I don't want to make this hard But I will 'cause I'm still
Sharing my heart It's tearing me apart But I know I'd miss you, baby, if I left right now (I know I would) Doing what I can, tryna be a man (be your man) And every time I kiss you, baby I can hear the sound of breaking down
Sharing my bed, ooh Sharing my bread, yeah Sharing my bread Sharing my head (I'm breaking down)
Sharing my heart Sharing my, suddenly I'm (Breaking down) Sharing, I'm done Sharing my life
