Red Hearts

Excited to share the music video for my new track "Red Hearts"! It explores our complex relationship with social media—from the initial dopamine rush of checking notifications, to the cycle of overconsumption that impacts our mental and physical health. Despite knowing the harm, we often return to it, trapped in a relentless loop. I hope this captures the absurdity and chaos of it all.

Lyrics;

Doom scroll
I’m on a roll to
Destroy my mentals but
Everybody does it
So, I guess it’s fine?
(I guess it’s fine)
Last night I blinked my eye
Lost an hour of my life I
Wish I could say that this didn’t happen
all of the time

Dopamine hit with every notification
No feeling better no feeling like it
I guess everybody has their vices

And I'm addicted to Red Hearts
But I know it’s not real love
Why do I care what someone I
met in a bathroom
Thinks about me?
And I'm addicted to Red Hearts
Give me a hit or I'll fall apart
I shouldn’t care what someone I met in a bathroom thinks about me
And I'm addicted to

Red red red red hearts
Red red red red hearts
Red red red red hearts
Red Hearts

Band Aid
For my lonely (damn I’m so lonely)
Nighttime scrolling
To numb the feeling
Maybe, if I just look again
I’ll fill the void, with all the noise
Distract from what's missing

If there’s a billion people
In the palm of my hand
Why do I feel so disconnected?
Would somebody make it
All make sense? (nothing makes sense)

And I'm addicted to Red Hearts
But I know it’s not real love
Why do I care what someone I
met in a bathroom
Thinks about me?
And I'm addicted to Red Hearts
Give me a hit or I'll fall apart
I shouldn’t care what someone I met in a bathroom thinks about me
And I'm addicted to

Red red red red hearts
Red red red red hearts
Red red red red hearts
Red Hearts

These days I'm feeling anxious
These days I can’t
seem to focus
These days I've been some kind of mess
(some kind of mess)
These days I'm feeling anxious
These days I can seem to focus
These days I've been some kind of mess

And I'm addicted to Red Hearts
But I know it’s not real love
Why do I care what someone I
met in a bathroom
Thinks about me?

And I'm addicted to Red Hearts
Give me a hit or I'll fall apart
I shouldn’t care what someone I met in a bathroom thinks about me
And I'm addicted to

Red red red red hearts
Red red red red hearts
Red red red red hearts
Red Hearts
