Half a million followers watching every move I make Sponsorships and brand deals, opportunities I take Picture-perfect lifestyle curated for the feed But behind the camera lens, I'm someone no one sees Posting happy moments while I'm crying on the inside Living for the algorithm, nothing's genuine or real Every smile is calculated, every caption planned ahead [Chorus1] Made it as an influencer online But my authentic self is left behind Performing happiness for strangers every day Success meant losing who I am along the way This is what the platform brings Fakeness that attention sings Comments flooding in with praise for this amazing life But they're loving a persona, not the person in the strife Can't remember what I liked before analytics mattered Living in a highlight reel while my true self is shattered Filters hiding all the truth, angles making me look perfect Brand partnerships demanding content that I don't believe Selling products that I've never used to people who trust me [Chorus1] Made it as an influencer online But my authentic self is left behind Performing happiness for strangers every day Success meant losing who I am along the way This is what the platform brings Fakeness that attention sings [Chorus2] No moment's mine without the phone Always working, never alone Documenting life instead of living through the scenes The persona's popular but it's not me Maybe going viral means You become somebody else on screens Some influencers stay true But I don't know how to In this moment feeling fake Wondering what's at stake [Chorus1] Made it as an influencer online But my authentic self is left behind Performing happiness for strangers every day Success meant losing who I am along the way This is what the platform brings Fakeness that attention sings [Chorus2] No moment's mine without the phone Always working, never alone Documenting life instead of living through the scenes The persona's popular but it's not me Maybe going viral means You become somebody else on screens
