Gabriella Zauna Wonders: What Do We Do

The L.A. singer's dark pop anthem examines the complexities of a toxic relationship.

Gabriella Zauna ponders her relationship options in her new single What Do We Do — showcasing today on Tinnitist.

Zauna’s latest release is a dark pop anthem about the complexities of a toxic relationship and struggling to find a resolution. Zauna explores this narrative through complex lyrics and soulful vocals, creating an emotional piece of frustration.

The features intricately layered instrumentals and lyrics that immerse listeners in her tumultuous experience with a partner. The relatability of her lyrics, enhanced by upbeat electronic elements, resonates deeply with her audience. “The conflicting feelings of ‘should I stay or should I go’ are exemplified in this track. In the heat of the moment, I say I want to end it, but I take it back because the thought of being alone is too scary.”

The endless cycles of miscommunication and hurtful exchanges highlight that the couple probably shouldn’t be together. “We argue and then stand at a loss, unsure what to do with our relationship, even though it’s clear we probably shouldn’t be together,” she reflects. What Do We Do, written and produced by Zauna, showcases her complete creative vision and direction.

Originally from Los Angeles, Zauna was immersed in music, with a father who played in a punk band. Drawn to the beauty in the darkness of art, she began writing songs at seven and releasing them at 15, using music as an outlet for her mental-health struggles. Influenced by Lana Del Rey, Matty Healy and Prince, Zauna strives to create authentic, resonant music.
