Just Pretend by Cece Benz dropped and wow, it hits hard if you’ve ever been deep in the “best friend but secretly in love” spiral. You know the one—where you’re basically the perfect person for them, but instead you get front row seats to their relationship with someone who doesn’t even know their favorite pizza topping.

This song? It’s gentle on the ears at first—real soft, kinda dreamy—but the lyrics will absolutely ruin your day in the best way. Like, Cece managed to bottle that quiet heartbreak feeling and turn it into a melody. The kind of track you play on loop when you’re lying in bed, spiraling at 2am, thinking about all the things you never said.
Honestly, this is one of those songs you loop at 2am when you’re romanticizing your own heartbreak and staring at the ceiling. It’s subtle but dangerous. I’m into it. Definitely one of those tracks that sounds soft but emotionally punches way above its weight. Anyway, check it out. Not everyone’s gonna cry to this but if it hits, it hits.
