Composition
"Thick and Thin" is a song composed of synth-pop,[6][7][8][9]funk-pop[2] and dream pop[3], incorporates sounds of indie pop[10] and dance.[11][12][13] The song has a length of three minutes and thirty-two seconds and written by LANY members, Paul Jason Klein and Jake Clifford Goss, including Alexandra Yatchenko and Nolan Lambroza. "Thick and Thin" is set in the time signature of common time with a moderate tempo of 100 beats per minute and composed in F minor key.[14]
Lyrically, the song is about heartbreak, betrayal and questioning the sincerity of promises in a relationship after it falls apart. It also captures confusion over something once solid can collapse over one mistake.[10]
Music video
The music video was released on February 4, 2019 and it was directed by Isaac Ravishankara.[15] The music video shows the band lead singer riding on the trunk of the moving car drive by a mysterious woman while they cruises down the coastline of California next to idyllic sunset, while singing his heart out before parking next to the beach and watch her walking towards the ocean.[2] The performance was done so beautifully in a single-take that 'Thick and Thin' became a sunset roadtrip song for many. It's such a simple music video, but the difficulty of sitting outside a moving car's trunk emphasised the song's message of the resilience and beauty in love and relationships.[16]
