NME's Hannah Mylrea was more favorable and gave it 4/5 stars. Riff Magazine's Mike DeWald gave the album an 8/10, saying "It may have been years in the making, but Madison Beer's first album is worth the wait for pop fans."

Beer has stated that her inspirations in her music and songwriting are Lana Del Rey, Daft Punk, Melanie Martinez, and Ariana Grande. When questioned if she was inspired by Grande, Beer responded "I mean, you know Ariana's been one of my favorite people ever for like, so much of my career and like, even just prior to my career, so I'm sure she's definitely influenced me, a lot. ... But, I hate this narrative that's being pushed about me and her, you know, that it's kinda like this competition thing, like this is someone I idolize and someone I look up to."

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You could be anywhere and these days I don't even care no more
You only be showing me love whenever you've had too much
Whatever's been filling your cup, no more
Baby, no more showing up when you're not sober
At my front door just to say you're alone tonight
Yeah, tryna fuck me and my mind up
You say you can't live without me
So why aren't you dead yet?
Why you still breathing? (why, why?)
And if you say you can't live without me
Then why aren't you dead yet?
Why do you say that?
You could be here but you're not, I give whatever you want
But you just take it and run, you run (oh run, run)
And I give you so many shots but you just drinking 'em all
You never give it a thought, oh love (yeah)
Baby, no more showing up when you're not sober (sober)
At my front door just to say you're alone tonight (alone tonight)
Yeah, tryna fuck me and my mind up
It's a reminder you're a liar and you know I'm right
You say you can't live without me
So why aren't you dead yet?
Why you still breathing? (why, why?)
If you say you can't live without me
Then why aren't you dead yet?
Why do you say that?
Why, why, why, why?
Why, why, why, why?
Why, why, why, why?
Why aren't you dead yet?
Be careful what you say
Say only what you mean
Mean to me then you're nice
You're nice, you're nice
It's nice to know you now
Now that it all went down
Down on your knees you cry
You cry, you cry, yeah
You say you can't live without me
So why aren't you dead yet?
Why you still breathing? (why, why?)
And you say you can't live without me
Then why aren't you dead yet?
Why do you say that?
Why, why, why, why?
Why, why, why, why?
Why, why, why, why?
Why aren't you dead yet?
Why, why, why, why?

Why aren't you dead yet?
Madison Beer's song "Dead" is about being done with a toxic relationship. Despite the partner's constant claim that they can't live without her, Madison is questioning why they haven't left her alone yet. She sings about how her partner only shows her love when they're drunk and trying to manipulate her. Madison is done with the lies and manipulation, and she knows that her partner is not good for her. She says that she's given the partner everything they've asked for, but they never give it a thought. Madison is done with the partner coming to her front door under the influence, and she's done with the reminder that they're a liar. Despite all of this, her partner still claims that they can't live without her, and Madison is questioning when they're going to leave her alone if they feel that way.
The chorus repeats the questions, "Why aren't you dead yet? Why are you still breathing?" This doesn't necessarily mean that Madison wishes harm on her partner, but rather that she's exasperated with their constant presence in her life. They claim that they can't live without her, but Madison questions why they won't leave her alone if that's the case. She's ready to move on and be done with the toxicity.
Throughout the song, Madison references the partner being on their knees and crying. This could be interpreted as them begging for her forgiveness or trying to manipulate her emotions once again. However, Madison is done with falling for their games and is ready to move on.
Overall, "Dead" is a powerful song about moving on from a toxic relationship. Madison Beer's lyrics are raw and honest, making it a relatable song for anyone who has experienced similar situations.

I don't understand why people are saying she can't sing. I get this is produced and has some pitch correction (big deal? every non-live version has it). If you don't like her as a person - cool. I understand why but you don't have to hate on her singing lol. You can't argue that she has a good voice when there are numerous videos of her live performances where her voice sounds beautiful. Also to see how much her voice has grown since she first made covers is incredible and she's actual been taking care of her voice properly like an actual singer should.
Bo Toledo
bal and boujee i agree that her voice has changed for the better but she still in my book is not a great singer and I wouldn't even call her an artist. If she modeled she would have an amazing career but her singing isn't the career for her. She needs to sound at least half as good live as she does in the studio. She puts no time into her music career and i will give her this. That this is her only decent to good song out of her 6. She's been "discovered" for like what 5 years and she only has 6 songs. Shes just a girl that wanted to be famous and got it handed to her with no hard work or dedication to the craft.
terayyee
agree💯

+bal and boijre If you see videos of fans (that doesn't have autotune or some change) you can clearly can see that she actually has not a "good voice"
valeria calò

Molly Arrowsmith
The control that Madison has over her voice is incredible. I love her voice and the music she creates so much!
Raadiyah Ali
