Lyric Sheet Included!

'But I’m Not' opens the album as a declaration of self beyond inherited expectations. The song speaks about the Korean American sapphic identity, religious and family pressure, gendered assumptions, and the refusal to fit heterosexual, monogamous, and patriarchal expectations. The song's message is deliberately open, belonging to anyone who has been handed a life and suddenly realized, “wait, that is not me.” The song turns the refusal into lyrical motion. Warm synth pads, tight electronic drums, bright claps, springy violins, and a cathartic K-pop chorus make the song brave without losing any tenderness. Each voice brings a different tale of growing up and survival, building from intimate confessions into communal release. 'But I’m Not' is not only about rejecting a mold, but it is also about blessing the life, love, or name one chooses for themselves.
