Every song in this catalog has its own orbit, its own gravitational pull, its own reason for existing — and Someone New sits in a particularly bright corner of the constellation. It’s the moment where the light finally breaks through, not because life suddenly got easier, but because I finally stopped abandoning myself. This track marks the shift from survival to emergence, from bracing to breathing. It’s the sound of remembering who I am after a long season of forgetting.

In the larger emotional architecture of the catalog, this song is a turning point. So many of the earlier tracks hold the weight of testimony, the ache of endurance, the rawness of naming what hurt. Someone New is what happens after the storm passes and you realize you’re still here — softer, wiser, and strangely hopeful. It’s the first time in a long time that the narrative tilts upward, and that upward tilt matters. It’s the hinge that lets the rest of the cycle open.

Musically, it carries that 60s bubblegum innocence on purpose. I wanted it to feel like a girl‑group anthem for self‑rebirth, a bright little flare in the sky that says, “Look — healing actually worked.” The harmonies, the sweetness, the bounce — they’re not naïve. They’re earned. They’re what joy sounds like when you’ve walked through fire and still choose to sing. In the constellation, this track is the star that twinkles with possibility.

And maybe most importantly, Someone New widens the circle. It’s not just about me liking myself again — it’s about offering that possibility outward. The blessing at the end, the repeated wish, the communal tone — that’s the part that connects this song to the rest of the constellation. Every track in this era is about collective healing, intergenerational repair, and choosing life on purpose. This one simply says it with a smile. It’s the moment the whole sky brightens.

[improvisational vocals]
It's been a little while since that guy
I hid away and had a good cry
Slowly my dark became light
And now  I, I, I, I, I

I'm seeing someone new
Someone who's full of life and value
Someone who dares to dream
who cares to be
And they're my everything
That's right I'm seeing a new me
they're my everything
That's right I'm seeing a new me

[improvisational vocals]
[anti-drop]

I wish that I had done this sooner
I'm acting like a honeymooner
I got me singing like a crooner
Because now I, I, I, I, I

I'm seeing someone new
Someone who's full of life and value
Someone who dares to dream
who cares to be
And they're my everything
That's right I'm seeing a new me
they're my everything
That's right I'm seeing a new me

[beat drop] [bass drop]
I wish that I had done this sooner
I'm acting like a honeymooner
I got me singing like a crooner
Because now  I, I, I, I, I

[anti-drop]
I'm seeing someone new
Someone who's full of life and value
Someone who dares to dream
who cares to be
And they're my everything
That's right I'm seeing a new me
they're my everything
That's right I'm seeing a new me

[improvisational vocals]
[long pre-drop build]
[huge bass drop]
And they're my everything
That's right I'm seeing a new me
This is who I'm meant to be
That's right I'm seeing a new me
[improvisational vocals]

And they're my everything
That's right I'm seeing a new me
This is who I'm meant to be
That's right I'm seeing a new me
[improvisational vocals]
[anti-drop]

I love doing me!
That's right I'm seeing a new me
[pre-drop build]
I love doing me!
That's right I'm seeing a new me
[huge bass drop]
And they're my everything
That's right I'm seeing a new me
This is who I'm meant to be
That's right I'm seeing a new me
[improvisational vocals]

I wish this for everybody
I wish this for everybody
I wish this for everybody
I wish this for everybody
