In 2026, we’ve managed to do something pretty strange with social media: real people sometimes seem outnumbered by virtual ones. Fake profiles, fabricated identities, AI, people hiding behind a mask... the risk of forming a connection with someone who isn’t really who you think they are is becoming greater and greater.
ㅤ
This song is about that, but more importantly, about what it means for us: in a world like this, maintaining emotional stability may have become one of the most important skills we can have.
ㅤ
I dedicate this song to someone this happened to recently. He’ll know who he is.

============================
ㅤ
[VERSE]
You'd leave a comment underneath my songs
Then we'd keep talking after everyone was gone
You knew the little things I'd never share
After a while I thought you really cared
ㅤ
[CHORUS]
Who was I talking to every night?
Who made a stranger feel so right?
Who was I talking to every night?
And why did you know me better than I liked?
ㅤ
[VERSE]
You'd ask me how the things I'd planned had gone
Remember every story months beyond
You made me laugh when everything went wrong
Somehow a message turned into a bond
ㅤ
[CHORUS]
Who was I talking to every night?
Who made a stranger feel so right?
Who was I talking to every night?
And why did you know me better than I liked?
ㅤ
[VERSE]
Then one night I saw your face again
Different name beneath it, different friends
Hundreds of profiles made to talk like you
And that's when I learned there was never a you
ㅤ
[CHORUS]
Who was I talking to every night?
I won't mourn someone who was never alive
Who was I talking to every night?
I'll keep what I felt, you've got nowhere to hide
Who was I talking to every night?
Next time I'll make sure there's someone on the other sidemore
