With its #46 premiere on the Billboard 200 over the summer, Willow Smith‘s fifth studio album – ‘Lately I Feel Everything’ -b became the highest charting effort of her career. In a bid to push the set even higher, Smith’s tapped fan favorite track, ‘G R O W,’ as its next single.
Featuring Avril Lavigne and Travis Barker (who also played assistant on ‘Transparent Soul,’ the first single of ‘Lately’), ‘G R O W’ comes as an angsty reflection on the growing pains Willow’s experienced in her storied 20 years of life and recognition that there are more to come.
“Every time I look at my face / I feel everything it’s the same growing pains / ‘Cause no one ever truly knows just who they are / And I feel closer knowing I don’t have to hide my scars,” she sings on the guitar-driven tune’s first verse.

This was cute! A nice little fun anthem. Her outfit when they were on the guitars was FIRE!
Very short though.
21 acting 12.
No angst. No existential Q&A’s.
Song too flat sans key changes.
Avril phoned it in. This is Willow cosplaying a 90’s white pre-t***.
Wost
