The Naked and Famous’ album Recover features the track Come As You Are, celebrating inclusivity, unconditional love, and acceptance for people from all walks of life. Initially about entering relationships with baggage, it evolved into a broader message of embracing people as they are. Alisa Xayalith and Thom Powers emphasize creating a safe space for marginalized communities, including LGBTQ+ and immigrants.
Other standout tracks include Sunseeker, inspired by Xayalith’s dog, and Bury Us, described as a perfect dancefloor pop track about unexpected love. Recover is largely autobiographical, exploring survival, self-preservation, and resilience, with each song tackling themes like identity (Well-Rehearsed), mortality (An)Aesthetic), and life’s unforeseen challenges (Sunseeker).
