Closer “Gerald” serves as an examination of how G-Eazy is perceived by those around him.

The second verse addressed to Mac Miller. The first verse is dedicated to his mother’s girlfriend’ who passed away when G-Eazy was 12. “Time,” featuring Matthew Shultz, sees G-Eazy writing a letter to deceased loved ones, informing them on what has transpired in the last few years since he last saw them.
These Things Happen Too concludes strongly with its final two tracks. He follows it up with “Running Wild (Tumblr Girls 2)” where he reveals how drawn he is to turbulent relationships that are destined to fail. A light acoustic guitar melody plays on as G-Eazy airs out grievances about an ex-girlfriend who he found disingenuous. “No More” features Ty Dolla $ign on the chorus. It sounds like something Imagine Dragons would probably do. “Wicked Game” may not sit right with fans of Chris Isaak’s ’80s classic, as G-Eazy covers the song’s first two verses with thumping, reverberated bass. Both artists making headlines for what’s, frankly, their personal business yet has led to mass scrutinization. G-Eazy reflects on the toxic relationship between artists and the audience, particularly with how listeners seem to feed on the public breakdowns of musicians and often make those breakdowns worse. “Breakdown,” with Demi Lovato, really packs a punch. G-Eazy borrows the hook on this bass-heavy track with skittering snares. We then get a playful homage to “Going The Distance,” the classic by Sacramento band CAKE. “Now, Later, Next” delivers the requisite hyphy track, with ShooterGang Kody on the hook and E-40 belting out ad-libs throughout. G-Eazy continues to build on personal themes with “I, Me, Myself,” where he talks about his rise in the Bay and his connection with his younger brother. The muffled piano underscores the weight of it all on his soul, particularly on the second verse, where he reflects on the passing of friend Mac Miller. “Wanna Be Myself” examines G-Eazy’s feelings of emptiness and how he’s masked them with drugs, concerts and luxuries. Its followed by “Instructions” with YG, where both MCs boast about how often they get around. Lil Wayne croons with Auto-Tuned vocals over horns on “When You’re Gone,” as the two reflect on their status as rap icons. He doesn’t win any relationship points here. While honest, it still feels kind of sleazy in its addressing of the issue. He doesn’t deny the claims or even try to argue, but offers a shrug and concedes he can’t blame her for how she feels. G-Eazy weighs how his success as an artist has affected his relationships and even goes on to address his relationship with ex Halsey, who called him out publicly for frequently cheating on her. The title track opens the album with playful rising and descending synths accompanied by a soft piano before transitioning into a harder, bass-and-snare joint.
