Given that we have already done a breakdown of this song when it was released as a single, there is little need for excruciating detail. The Search – “Yeah, the sales can rise/Doesn’t mean much when your health declines” With The Search, NF clarifies that this joy can only be found in faith, honesty, and love. Reflecting on both the days before this overflow of popularity and his most recent accomplishments, NF uses his newfound platform to state a very clear message, even with the entire world at your fingertips, long-lasting joy cannot be found in fortune. With his July 26 album release, NF has once again opened the door for listeners to take a view into his mental health status following the success he found in 2017’s Perception and the singles that followed. Talking about this topic has become a hallmark of this era’s music, opening all kinds of audiences to the realities of anxiety, depression, self-doubt, suicidal tendencies or considerations, and several other mental health issues. As has often been the case in recent years, mental health plays an important role in the life of modern recording artists.
