Sunny <3 from hatemail by Pacing
“Sunny <3” is an upbeat, indie pop “fear of missing out" anthem. The insecure narrator of the song battles a snowballing todo list with the increasingly desperate refrain “it’s gonna be good.” By the climax of the song, the listener is far from convinced.

Lyrics
She's a beach bunny
Sitting in the sun
Watching all the people
Watching everyone
I'm sitting in the shadow
Sitting in the shadow of her sun
I wish I knew how to have that much fun
I wish I was breezy like the shallow ocean
But sitting in the shadow
It never really bothered me much
It's gonna be good
It's gonna be so good
It's gonna be good
It's gonna be so good
It's gonna be good
It's gonna be so good
It's gonna be good
It's gonna be so good
Now I wake up every morning and I run a hundred miles
And then I take a shower and then I clean the house and
Go to work, do your lessons, do your skin care routine and flossing
Sun salutations, cardio and stretching, eating green and composting
Start a garden, read feminist theory, make amends
Call you grandmother and don't forget to call your friends
Learn a language, make the Billboard hot 100 twice a week
Activism, socializing, online dating and therapy
You really gotta make time for these things
You really gotta make time for these things
I'm gonna be good
I'm gonna be so good
I'm gonna be good
I'm gonna be so good
I'm gonna be good
I'm gonna be so good
I'm gonna be good
I'm gonna be so good
She's a beach bunny
Sitting in the sun
Watching all the people
Watching everyone
I'm sitting in the shadow
Sitting in the shadow of her sun

Pacing is the songwriting and recording project of Katie McTigue (she/her). Various Small Flames wrote that she “follows in the playful, tongue-in-cheek tradition of the likes of Kimya Dawson, yet always nudges the ideas further to be more than mere twee humour or sardonic fun.” Fans and new listeners alike often remark that her anxious, confessional lyrics are "a little too relatable."
