"Expectations" is a song by Lauren Jauregui, set to be released on October 24, 2018. "Expectations" will be released as the lead single to her debut album and is also her first since Fifth Harmony's hiatus.[2] Jauregui first performed the track back in June 2018, as an opening act for Halsey's Hopeless Fountain Kingdom Tour in Latin America.[3]
Background
Jauregui wrote "Expectations" and first recorded it around May 2018, being one of the first songs from the album. She premiered the track in June 2018, as an opening act for Halsey's Hopeless Fountain Kingdom Tour in Latin America, along with two other songs from the record.[4] Jauregui later said that she was "putting the final touches" to the song. She gave fans a brief preview of her upcoming single on October 1, 2018 with an 18-second snippet of the video for the song. Jauregui posted a photo of herself looking forlorn in a black dress with a background of the same color while standing on a bridge in a park; the bottom side shows her in a white dress with a small part in white.
Composition
Lyrically, "Expectations" finds Jauregui describing a relationship in which her partner does not appear to care about her other as much as she does. It also expresses the struggle of wanting to change the situation, but being unable to do so.[5]
Music video
In the preview, the background to the video features a moody black-and-white clip of Jauregui slowly walking down a dimly lit hall as a muffled snippet of the ballad plays in the background. The video will be released on October 24, 2018.[6]
