[Therapist | Calm, neutral, gentle tone like a therapist]
Hey, you alright?
Haven’t seen your name on the 'New Music Friday' in a sec.
Last time I checked you were headlining Tokyo, what's up?
You wanna tell me what's been goin' on lately?
[Artist | Emotional, expressive female vocal]
Remember that tour in Europe last spring?
Met a fine lil’ dancer, said he used to sing (okay)
Fell too fast, he moved too slick
Left me on read while he posted with Nick (Nick?)
Yeah, Nick—his “roommate”
Guess I was the side dish on a full plate
My friends warned me, but I liked the danger
Now my journal’s filled with verses and anger
[Therapist | Calm, caring tone]
So what'd you do next?
[Artist | Emotional female vocal]
Went ghost for a bit
Cried in the hills, then I dyed my shit
Black hair, red lips, whole rebrand
Dropped a single called "Man Ain’t a Plan"
It went viral—barely
Labels called, but they treat me rarely
Like a human. More like a product
“Can you post more? Be more toxic?”
[Artist | Chorus, powerful female vocal - heavy autotune optional]
Burnout is a playlist I forgot to pause
My heart’s in a contract with a thousand claws
Fake friends, fake love, fake streams, fake applause
But I smile on the 'Gram, say I love it all
[Artist | Slightly raspier, emotional delivery]
I like weed, I like rage
I like texting my ex then deleting the page
I like fast checks, bad sex, Uber Eats at dawn
I like when my fans cry, then ask for a song
Can’t lie—this life feels wrong
Got plaques on the wall but my joy’s been gone
And just when I thought I hit rock bottom
Mom called like, “Baby, why you always postin’ problems?”
[Therapist | Reassuring, soft tone]
Okay, deep breath in…
You're spiraling, but you're not alone
Let’s try grounding. Count five things you love
Go on. I’m listening.
[Artist | Outro, soft, vulnerable tone with echo effect]
I love bass, I love rain
I love when the stage drowns out my pain
I love fans who see me, not just fame
And I love the beat…
'Cause it listens when nobody came
