"Pourquoi" is a song of love freely given but not always reciprocated equally. Pierini sings from somewhere that’s extremely intimate and hauntingly familiar, letting her grandmother’s experience into her own. There is the weight of longing, the silent questions that never get answered and also a psychological cost to loving, or trying to love, as much as you can.
What separates "Pourquoi" from a love story is the thought of how small decisions pass through time, shaping lives in ways that we don’t understand until long after reality. Written by Amalie Bryde, J.Ar. J, Marie-Louise Pierini Lüders and Nicholas Kincaid, and co-writted and produced by Nicholas alongside Oliver Kincaid, the track has an personal yet wide feel. "Pourquoi" makes the listener to simply sit with the question "why," and maybe identify a chapter of their own story within.
