"Temporary" is a song about letting go of insecurities and doubts, and embracing the idea that everything in life is temporary. Lauren Jauregui sings about how some days it can be difficult to maintain confidence, and how the noise of others' opinions can be overwhelming. But she acknowledges that it is a waste of time to feel insecure and that she is more than what others say about her. The chorus repeats the idea that everything in life is temporary – good or bad – and that it is important to learn to let go of what we think we know. It's a message of hope and empowerment, as Lauren encourages listeners to find their own power and smile through difficult moments. The song also features a Spanish-language verse, where Lauren sings about inhaling deeply and counting to ten to release stress and find her own power. The message is clear – whether in English or Spanish – we have the ability to let go and find our way through difficult moments.
