Keeper pushes his nostalgia-fueled pop punk forward with “Figure Me Out,” the sixth and final A Side from the EP ‘Songs That Would’ve Gotten Me Bullied Sixteen Years Ago.’ The track lands as a culmination, tying together years of self-examination, relationships, sexuality, and creative rediscovery. It carries weight and release in equal measure.
Built on heart-on-sleeve songwriting, “Figure Me Out” centers on self-acceptance. It frames survival as something worth honoring. The hooks hit hard, the emotion stays front and center, and the message is direct. This is a closing statement that feels earned.
Discussing the EP’s personal depth, Emanuel Andrade shares, “Each song has been about rediscovering the music, hobbies, and passions I had when I was younger (be it Theatre, Art, Dance, Music, Video games, or reading), and finding my way back to them through some difficult years as an adult.”
He continues, “Managing breakups through nostalgic music, to topics like my sexuality and getting stupid crushes. At 27, I can finally say I know who I am, and I’m genuinely content with that. I recognise my flaws, but I’m no longer ashamed of the younger me who developed them. Honestly, I think I’m proud of him.” Featuring Kellin Quinn, Tally Spear, Tom Connolly, and co-writing from Jon Cass, the EP stands as Keeper at full strength.
