In the 48th edition of Wacky Wednesday (2025), we break down the unique “Quite the Opposite,” performed by Dominic Fike.
Do you know what day it is? It is Wednesday, folks! Do you know what that means? Why, it is Wacky Wednesday! In the spirited column Wacky Wednesday, we analyze, break down, and explore songs from various musicians of various genres that can be considered unique, unusual, or ‘wacky.’ These songs can be new or old; the only requirement is that they ‘catch the ears’ because of their distinctiveness. With the background established, in the 48th edition of Wacky Wednesday (2025), we break down the unique “Quite the Opposite”, performed by Dominic Fike. Wacky Wednesday vibes commence!

“Not because I was afraid to be center stage / Yeah, it was quite the opposite.”
Noted, Dominic Fike! The handsome and talented alternative singer/songwriter shines on “Quite the Opposite”, the brief but potent eighth track from his 2025 mixtape, Rocket. Accompanied by a ripe guitar, bass, drums, and keys, Fike brings it. Vocally, he delivers a commanding performance. Sweetening the deal on this alternative pop/rock joint are the vocal harmonies 💪.
In the first verse, Dominic lists the things he didn’t do. These include NOT attending a birthday party, not taking off clothes in the pool (that’s a bummer, there, hehe 😍), or “singing like Frank Sinatra.” So, what was his explanation? “I knew you’d be bummed if I took all your thunder / So, I did the opposite.” In the second verse, he skips Grammy parties. Unfortunately, his opposite approach was a hot mess and backfired!
“I never thought it would backfire
And I’d make it all about me
Now you’re havin’ a bad time
Because I made it all about me.”
My, my, my! In the bridge, Fike admits to making a sorry song. Why? “Because it’s all because I love / You.” In the chorus, he acknowledges his mistakes, without explicitly saying it… “Once again / Once gain / (And I always, I always do).” Ultimately, “Quite the Opposite” is quite the Dominic Fike song, and we wouldn’t have it any other way. Also, next time, Dom, make sure you take your clothes off. Promise?
