I’m 17 years old
My socks don’t match
Any of the clothes I wear
When I get stressed
I wanna dye my hair
Say yes when I mean no
Sometimes I think my Arizona license plate
Is my best personality trait
Think daisies can predict
If I’m in love with him
Even if he never wants to answer me
Think I’m a superstar
Just singing in my car
Why would anyone wanna be friends with me?
I don’t know how
I’m gonna get myself together
But right now I’m feeling pretty good
The world could end
And I’d pretend it doesn’t matter
If I could sing la da di
All day I would
La di da
Di la da di
All day I would
Di da
Di la da di
All day I would
I like to thing I’m punk
But I never cuss
I have a guilty conscience
Two piercings just might be too much
The people that I meet
Yeah I want them to think I’m so professional
But can’t take myself seriously
I laugh when things get weird
My legs too short to steer with my knees
So I swerve down the highway
I’m still texting my ex
But don’t tell my best friend
Is it weird that I’m parked in his driveway?
I don’t know how
I’m gonna get myself together
But right now I’m feeling pretty good
The world could end
And I’d pretend it doesn’t matter
If I could sing la da di
All day I would
La di da
Di la da di
All day I would
Di da
Di la da di
All day I would
I don’t know how
I’m gonna get myself together
But right now I’m feeling pretty good
The world could end
And I’d pretend it doesn’t matter
If I could sing la da di
All day I would
La di da
Di la da di
All day I would
Di da
Di la da di
All day I would
Di da
Di la da di
All day I would
Di da
Di la da di
All day I would
Embracing Imperfection and Youthful Honesty
“la di da” by Avery Anna captures the uncertainties, quirks, and emotional highs and lows of being seventeen. Through candid confessions about mismatched socks, impulsive hair dye decisions, and the struggle to appear professional, Anna paints a relatable portrait of teenage life. The playful chorus—where she wishes she could sing “la da di” all day—serves as an anthem for embracing the present and finding joy in the little things, even when the world feels overwhelming.
Finding Comfort in Chaos
The song’s vulnerability shines in lines about seeking validation, texting exes, and the desire to simply feel good amid confusion. Avery Anna’s honest storytelling and lighthearted self-deprecation remind listeners that it’s okay to not have everything figured out. Instead, there’s comfort in embracing imperfections and living authentically, one carefree melody at a time.
