Sometimes, I write songs that just stick with me. Songs that I write with no real idea of where they’re going to fit in terms of albums, but I play them at the occasional gig, I practice it every once in a while, and I get it stuck in my head all the time. These are my magic songs. This song, I Don’t Know Who You Are Anymore, is one of those songs.

I say that purely because I wrote this song when I was 13 and broken. I am now 16, so this song has held on long enough to be released three years later, once I’ve healed. I remember the day I wrote this song, even though I wrote it before I started marking the date I wrote my songs so I don’t know the actual date lol. I also remember playing it to my mum the first time. As soon as I stopped playing, the only thing she said was “I think I can guess who this is about lol”. Pretty funny if you ask me. I have written a lot of songs about many people, but most of them aren’t as specific as this one, so even though I personally love this song with all my heart, I find it pretty hilarious that so many people in my life will be able to pick who this song is about.

I initially wrote this song as a piano ballad – super slow and emotional and definitely a tear jerker. But, when I was putting together a list of songs I was going to record in the studio, I just knew that I wanted this song to be more rocky and angry sounding. The version that you will listen to when you stream my song is version two, but I will still always love the original version on the piano. (I have quite the sweet spot for the acoustic versions of all of my songs ahaha).
