Many men might find these very sentimental lyrics relatable, even while feeling they’re a bit overly emotional.

The lyrics depict the moment when his girlfriend confesses, “I’ve fallen for someone else.” Even though he understands there’s nothing he can do about her feelings shifting from him to another man, he can’t help but feel “betrayed.” It’s a very heartrending and painful song.

I became someone else’s girlfriend.wacci

wacci “I Became Someone Else’s Girlfriend” Music Video

Wacci’s “I Became Someone Else’s Girlfriend” is a breakup and farewell song that drew attention for a man singing from a woman’s perspective on love.

You break up because you can only see the flaws, but once you start dating someone new, all you can see are your ex’s good sides.

It may seem selfish, but there are things you can’t understand until you’ve taken some distance.

If both had made the effort to meet halfway before things became irreversible, perhaps a different future might have been possible.

You’re the one who let me fall for you / Arekun [Official Music Video]

Having gone viral on TikTok and breaking out—especially among the younger generation—Are-kun’s song “Suki ni Saseta Kuse ni” (“You Made Me Fall for You”) is a heartbreak anthem that many listeners can probably relate to.

As the title suggests, it captures the feeling of “you’re the one who made me fall for you,” mixed with the frustration of unreturned feelings—tender, painful, and tear-jerking.
