Following “Secrets,” which explored a deceptive love interest, “True Colors” is about learning who this female really is, not who she wants Abel to think she is. The monogamous themes explored throughout the project also continue to be expressed through this track. Abel uses the imagery of colors, or the lack thereof, as an extended metaphor throughout this track.
