Background

"Bummerland" is second track on AJR's fourth album, OK Orchestra. It was also the second single to be released from the album. This song was also performed at the One Spectacular Night live show in 2020. This song seems to have been adapted from a scrapped song called "Outside".

AJR is an American indie pop trio composed of multi-instrumentalist brothers Adam, Jack, and Ryan Met (which is short for their birth name Metzger). Their most successful songs include "I'm Ready", "Sober Up", "Burn the House Down", "Way Less Sad", "100 Bad Days", "Weak", "World's Smallest Violin", "Bang!", "I Won't" and “The DJ Is Crying For Help”. In 2019, their third album Neotheater debuted at number 8 on the Billboard 200,[3] and hit number one on the Top Rock Albums chart. "Bang!" is their highest-charting song and only song to reach the top 10 in the United States, peaking at number 8 on the Billboard Hot 100 on January 22, 2021.

The name "AJR" comes from the first initials of the three brothers, Adam, Jack, and Ryan. The band writes, produces, and mixes their music in the living room of their apartment in New York City. Their musical style has been described as "eclectic", combining elements of pop, electronic, and dubstep.

Lyrics

Bummerland, here I am
Better nix my summer plans
Bummerland, give a cheer
'Cause you're only going up from here

This month, I got seven haircuts
And now my hair is all gone

It's sad but I've been alone for too long
So I keep getting haircuts

It's my all time low
And I just can't wait
'Cause the quicker I'm there
Is the quicker I'll say

Bummerland, here I am
Better nix my summer plans
Bummerland, give a cheer
'Cause you're only going up from here
Bummerland, here I am
Better nix my summer plans
Bummerland, sorry dear
But you're only going up from here

My friends always pay for my drinks
I can't afford no nice things

But I hope my bank account gets so low
Even zero
So next year
When I buy that first beer
I'll be a goddamn hero

It's my all time low
And I just can't wait
'Cause the quicker I'm there
Is the quicker I'll say

Bummerland, here I am
Better nix my summer plans
Bummerland, sorry dear
But you're only going up from here

Daa da-da da
Daa da-da da
Daa da-da da ('cause you're only going up from here)
Daa da-da da

It's my all time low
And I just can't wait
'Cause the quicker I'm there
Is the quicker I'll say

Bummerland, here I am
Better nix my summer plans
Bummerland, give a cheer
'Cause you're only going up from here
Bummerland, here I am
And there ain't no funner land
Bummerland, it's kinda weird
But you're only going up from here
