SONG SCIENCE | Pancakes For Dinner by Lizzy McAlpine

4/25/2025
Its own singer-songwriter self-reportedly "hates" this song, but the Song Scientist is here with his gear to show us why it's great. Through the 2020 Disney-indie track Pancakes For Dinner, Sena Fukushima transports Harper into the teenaged journal of Lizzy McAlpine. Why does this feel like a hit off a princess musical soundtrack? How can the slightest of chord changes set a whole new mood? And Lizzy, if you're listening, can you be convinced to love this again?
