I got a boyfriend/girlfriend.My Hair is Bad
How would you feel upon learning that someone you once shared a deep connection with has found a new partner? My Hair is Bad’s 2016 album “woman’s” features a song that delicately captures exactly that complex state of mind.
Even though you’re supposed to have moved on and found a new lover, you can’t shake the lingering attachment to the one you can’t forget.
Spending time with your current partner—who’s the complete opposite type—only makes the quiet ache of your feelings for the former one smolder in the back of your heart.
