In “Can’t Be Bothered,” a collaboration with Kota The Friend, Taylor expresses the desire to stay in a comfortable lane that aligns with his lifestyle. The final track, “Rest Your Head,” features a soothing backing choir, providing a calming experience for the listener.
Speaking about the deluxe version, Taylor stated, “Somewhat unintentionally, the songs from HAVE A NICE DAY! focus on a ‘take-it-easy’ theme and being OK with the ebbs and flows of life.” He envisions the EP as a soundtrack to a day in someone’s life, capturing the different moods and moments.
Taylor shared his creative process, mentioning a desire to enjoy the music-making journey post-pandemic and a theme of quietly savoring life one day at a time. He describes the songs as a reflection of his subconscious mind, reminding him not to take life too seriously.
HAVE A NICE DAY! (Deluxe Version) follows Taylor’s debut album ICARUS in 2020, which received acclaim and featured a collaboration with Lalah Hathaway.
