“I Really Wanted You To Love Me” is a mirror-fogged confession — a collection of breakup songs that live somewhere between hope and devastation.
These tracks follow the emotional arc of loving someone who simply couldn’t show up, even when you gave them everything.
Layered with electronic-pop textures, warm female vocals, and late-night honesty, the album captures the quiet moments you don’t talk about: the waiting, the wishing, the unraveling, and finally… the release.
If your heart has ever whispered ‘why wasn’t I enough?’ — these songs will meet you there.
