Pending Request

[Verse 1]
Scrollin’ through his page again
Same hoodie, that crooked grin
I tap the heart, pretend
It’s casual, I’m just a friend (mm)
She’s tagged on his arm so tight
Weekend trips and city lights
I’m double-tappin’ through the night
Like maybe he’ll read between the lines
[Chorus]
Sent that friend request to my crush
Now I’m staring at the screen too much
Heartbeat synced to the typing dots
He’s with her, but I still get lost
Left my heart on every pic he posts
Quiet crush, and he never knows
Sent that friend request to my crush
Praying for a little digital touch (oh)
[Verse 2]
Typed “hey, how you been?”
Backspaced it all again
I just watch his story spin
He’s out late, I’m here at ten
Our names could sit side by side
In that tiny active light
But I’m just a view that slides
Past his day and out of sight (yeah)
[Chorus]
Sent that friend request to my crush
Now I’m staring at the screen too much
Heartbeat synced to the typing dots
He’s with her, but I still get lost
Left my heart on every pic he posts
Quiet crush, and he never knows
Sent that friend request to my crush
Praying for a little digital touch (ooh)
[Bridge]
If he accepts, what then?
Do I just stay this quiet friend?
Smiling through the lens
While she’s holding his hand
So I hide behind these tiny hearts
Safe inside the comment box
He’s taken, I respect that part
But I still hope he sees my name pop up (hey)
[Chorus]
Sent that friend request to my crush
Now I’m staring at the screen too much
Heartbeat synced to the typing dots
He’s with her, but I still get lost
Left my heart on every pic he posts
Quiet crush, and he never knows
Sent that friend request to my crush
Praying for a little digital touch

rap, Dusty lo-fi R&B with soft sidechain swing, warm Rhodes chords and a lazy hip hop backbeat. Female vocals, close and intimate, almost whispered on the verses; choruses bloom with airy harmonies and a slightly brighter synth pad. Subby bass stays round and controlled, vinyl crackle in the background, light finger snaps and muted percussion to keep it vibey and late-night., hip hop, r&b, lo-fi
