"Set against anthemic pop-rock production and aching vocal harmonies, "Can't You See" blends urgency with vulnerability. Lyrically, it's a plea for closeness in relationships where love feels conditional, communication turns to arguments, and the push and pull make it harder to stay connected. The chorus delivers the song's central ache: "Why is everything a fight? Can't you see we're on borrowed time ... . All I need is love, can't you see?""
"Blending the drive of pop-rock anthems with confessional storytelling, Fedge stands apart by drawing from his experience as a queer Taiwanese American artist raised between cultures. His music reaches beyond romance to wrestle with family, identity, and belonging, themes that are not often centered in mainstream pop. That perspective gives his songs both intimacy and universality, creating work that is as personal as it is anthemic."
