Hovey Benjamin's song "DM Going Dry" is a lighthearted and humorous track that touches upon the frustration one feels when their direct messages on social media platforms become uneventful. The lyrics depict the artist constantly checking their DMs, hoping for some provocative pictures ("nudes") from a girl. However, instead, they are receiving messages from other men asking for musical beats. The song expresses the artist's longing for a girl's attention and desire for a more intimate connection. They express their wish for the girl to engage with them through private messages by sliding into their DMs. The artist humorously suggests that they would love to see explicit pictures ("titties in the bathroom mirror") and hints at the possibility of a physical relationship if the distance between them was shorter. Throughout the song, the artist also mentions their dedication to their music, spending long hours in the studio. The lyrics imply that these efforts in their career might be causing them to struggle in making connections with romantic interests. Overall, "DM Going Dry" showcases Hovey Benjamin's playful and somewhat satirical take on the common experience of searching for validation and connection through social media platforms, particularly in the realm of romantic interests.
