stating when you began adoring her [music?] with no context has little to no meaning for others.

The production on that song… it’s what I wish Charlie Puth was elevating himself to instead of catering to TikTok so much. 2. It would be a dream to have you react to Yebba’s album Dawn PLEASE consider it 3. I never would have listened to Lizzie much at all if not for this video which had me crying for half of it 4.
