he third single from Matilda’s upcoming album, Kismet, explores the theory of The Fig Tree, the theory that you have many different paths and options to explore and you are unsure of the direction you end up in. This is established in the first verse: "I've changed my life's direction one too many times," and reinforced in the second: "and the fig tree keeps on teasing me, promising much more." Throughout the song, she expresses the uncertainty of her path, but ties it into the theming of love throughout the album, clear in the song ‘Inventing’. ‘One thing that will never change at all is you’, repeated throughout the choruses. In the production, there is a clear lift of vocals, and build of instrumental, to this soft explosion to represent that safety net. Within the instrumental at this point, there is also a resemblance of trumpets, which amplifies that sound, making it seem magical like it would be when you are in love and content.Matilda has often embraced a jazz-influenced sound throughout her music so far, her vocal range blending that further, of resemblance to artists like Laufey. It is represented well within this song, with the instrumental break during the outro, that she often does in her songs, lasting about 15 seconds. Followed by her small vocal sounds on top, blending seamlessly and linking well to the introduction of the song.

There is also a clear resemblance of the ‘fig tree’ analogy into her own uncertainty and insecurity about where she is at in life, ‘don’t understand my taxes, and parking policies…I never even finished my degree…at least I know for sure’. There is a slight insight into that insecurity on her own decisions with the opening line being , ‘from time to time I find myself reflecting on it all every stupid thing I’ve ever said’, but follows with more insight. I find this analogy to be highly relatable to her audience, listeners will relate to their own career path and I believe resembles a clear struggle for musicians, who are on a specific career path that can feel unnatural. I love how this song ends with that certainty of still having someone by you, despite it all, a true definition of love.
