As a British–Turkish Cypriot artist, Jay Moussa-Mann unpacks the uncomfortable conversations around race and belonging in “White Like You.” The song takes aim at micro-aggressions and identity politics, blending sharp wit with vulnerability. It’s both a protest and a confession. A reflection on being seen as too foreign and not foreign enough at the same time. Originally released in 2022 as an upbeat pop/rock track, this version was recorded at home, capturing a more intimate and reflective tone that feels especially resonant today.

Lyrics:

White Like You

She said I knew you had the look of a foreigner about you
And I don’t think she meant the band
She said you look good in that tan but it was February 
Sure I can find some cream for that

And I love it when you post your Black Lives Matter posters 
But you won’t ever let me in
I’m not dark enough, not brown enough, not white enough for you baby
Let’s just call it what this is

I’m not White like you
I came out the right shade
Are you throwing shade on me again
because I 
I’m not White like you
Tell me I’m a walking crime
Baby am I doing time for this because I 
I’m not White like you
I’m not White like you

Tell me am I White like you?

I’m sick, so sick of being called exotic
That’s not a compliment my dear 
Fed up of ticking all your tiny little ethnic boxes
Your boxes fill me with the fear

I’m not White like you
I came out the right shade
Are you gonna throw some shade on me again
because I
I’m not White like you
Tell me I’m a walking crime
Baby am I doing time for this because I 
I’m not White like you
I’m not White like you

Tell me am I White like you

I’m beautiful the way I am 
And you can’t make me feel the shame
And they can write us out of history
But we stay, but we stay
And I’ll make you feel this way

I’m not White like you
I came out the right shade
Are you gonna throw some shade on me again
because I
I’m not White like you
Tell me I’m a walking crime
Baby am I doing time for this because I 
I’m not White like you
I’m not White like you

Tell me am I White like you
