song in the musical "Hamilton"

“You’ll be Back” reminds me of a something but I can’t put my finger on it.
You'll Be Back - Hamilton Jonathan Groff Cover
How does "You'll be back" make you feel?
[IIL] "You'll be Back" sung by Jonathan Groff in Hamilton [WEWIL]
This feels a little silly to suggest, but all of Groff's songs in Hamilton were nods to the Beatles and other bands from the British pop invasion (get it?). A lot of different Beatles songs are echoed in some of the music lines. You might look into some other 1960s-era britpop.
More on reddit.comI just had to ask you guys. I heard "You'll be back" for the first time like, 2 hours ago. And this song just makes me really, really sad. Like, at some point, heavy, in a way. I watched Jonathan Groff's performance and while the audience were laughing, I can't help but feel sorry for this character.
Even before watching any videos, listening to it... there's just something about the beat? The tune? I can't seem to put my finger on it. Am I just imagining this? Thoughts?
Edit: I forgot to mention I first listened to this song without historical context beforehand. Still sad though but not that much anymore. Thanks for the responses. 😅
Yes, I’ve read that it’s inspired by Brit Pop but I’m specifically talking about the section where King George sings “Da-da-da-dat-da-ya...”
It’s so familiar but not at the same time
