If anyone has plans on starting a club for people who have felt the need to have a perfect social media prescience, I have news for them… that club is about to be PACKED. (Just make sure to leave a spot open for me!) But I mean, let’s face it. It can be quite common to judge someone based off what’s on display on social media, especially if you’ve never met the person in real life. It can lead people to get the wrong impression of someone, or even create unrealistically high expectations for themselves.
It’s time to get real about it, and Slush Puppy is answering the call through his new single “Juliette.” It’s the 19-year-old San Diego native’s first release of the year, and it’s a head ‘bangin good time! Co-written and co-produced with Tom Randolph, Slush Puppy described the track as “the classic high school story of outcast boy wanting the coolest girl, but only being in love with a glamourized version of her.”
He continued by saying, “We romanticize people and build them up in our head so much that we catch feelings without really knowing them. We only see people’s highlights on social media and it is so easy to think that the person you see online is an accurate representation irl. This song is about putting someone on a pedestal and becoming obsessed with the ‘best version’ of them and basking in their perfection without really seeing any of their flaws.”
Not a single lie was spoken, so I won’t lie here either. I can’t get enough of this song!
