Yes, But Maybe No

AIrmin Van Buuren · 14 February 2026 · 6:57

Most people don’t blow up their lives in one big moment. They do it in the small ones: “one more,” “I’ll start tomorrow,” “it’s fine,” “I’ve got it.”

Yes, But Maybe No is the soundtrack of that tug-of-war—between the person you say you’re becoming and the habits that keep negotiating the terms. It’s dark, rolling, hypnotic… and it loops the idea until it stops being a line and starts being a mirror:

“It’s a work in progress.” Cool. So are you actually working… or just explaining?

If this hit a nerve, don’t rush past it. Sit with it. Then decide what changes next.

Lyrics

I had a buddy come in from outta town He said he had a friend who had a boat So I went with him down to the docks He wanted to go but his buddy said no So I said "Hey buddy I gotta get home" So I went home Walked in the door My wife said "Where the hell you been?" I said "I been workin' Baby" She said "What do you mean?" I said "It's a work in progress" I said "I've been working on me I've been working on it It's been workin' on me" I said "I've been working on it" She said "I don't wanna hear about it It's a work in progress" I love to work hard I love to play hard And I do what I want when I want I want it all So I give it my all Give it my best It's a work in progress I was at the bar with my buddy one night And I had to be up early in the mornin' I said "One more shot Then I'm outta here" My buddy said "Bro You gotta be up early in the mornin'" And I said "I know Man But one more shot and then I'm gone" And he said "Where you goin'?" I said "I gotta go home" He said "What do you mean?" I said "I been workin' Man" He said "What do you mean?" I said "It's a work in progress" I said "I've been working on me I've been working on it It's been workin' on me" I said "I've been working on it" He said "I don't wanna hear about it It's a work in progress" I love to work hard I love to play hard And I do what I want when I want I want it all So I give it my all Give it my best It's a work in progress Ooh Yeah It's a work in progress I've been working on it It's been workin' on me I said "I've been working on it" He said "I don't wanna hear about it It's a work in progress" I love to work hard I love to play hard And I do what I want when I want I want it all So I give it my all Give it my best It's a work in progress I love to work hard I love to play hard And I do what I want when I want I want it all So I give it my all Give it my best It's a work in progress
