Sucks To Be You Lyrics

Cover art for Sucks To Be You lyrics by SAINt JHN

This track is the first single off the artist's upcoming studio album. It was produced by frequent collaborator F a l l e n and released on October 26, 2020.

What the artist means JHN makes it crystal clear on this track that he doesn't want to be anyone except himself, that's just how hurt his ex-girlfriend made him feel. He's thinking of jumping off the bridge, but his good sense takes over. He's spitting and crooning with equal ability as he's running through these lines and remembering the better times of his relationship turned sour. He's super tired of the whole world turning against him, more reason why it sucks being someone else. He's riding this beat and telling us his dreams of ruling the world, even before he left his hometown for the first time. He's waxing poetic now, he's more mature and maybe he'll be ready to give forgiveness a shot, shame that the girl came from Brooklyn.

What the song means to me The first thing that sticks out on this track is the superb, trap, and introspective production which would give just about any singer a lovely canvas to paint his pretty picture. JHN doesn't disappoint as he gave me one of the most emotionally tinged tracks of the year, his relatability strikes me for the entire close to four minutes’ duration. The track feels like a cry for help but also a flex at the same time, that's what you get when you're as talented as SAINt JHN. The track is pure genius and a confessional masterstroke. I will give this song a rating of 9/10.
