I released an album a couple months ago, and the song that everyone likes most is the one I actually kind of hate
Not a serious rant, just something kind of funny.
I made my first ever album, and I wrote a ton of songs that are really special to me. Most of them are about my own self-discovery and my anxieties, and the recording process was pretty experimental (at least for me). I had a fun time making weird sounds with my guitar and a cheap microphone.
Then there’s one song on there that I actually kind of hated by the time I was done with it. I think my vocal performance is some of my worst work, I did a blatantly obvious pitch-correction job, i was too lazy to finish building the instrumental, and the lyrics are just kind of melodramatic. I think the mic even clips at one point. Anyway, I thought it was objectively bad.
But now everyone keeps telling me that was their favorite song. It has the most plays on streaming and everything, too.
