What do you do when you find out your ex is dating someone else? Put on sad music, scroll through Instagram, eat ice cream? Well, Delaney Faulds went ahead and wrote an entire instruction manual of a song called “Don’t Be Like Me”. And you know what? This is one of the smartest moves in modern pop music.
Instead of the classic “he’s a jerk and you’re an idiot” approach, Faulds takes a completely different path. She gives listeners a cheat sheet so you can avoid making the same mistakes.

Delaney’s vocals are absolutely out of this world. There’s such genuine emotion here that it gives you goosebumps. Most importantly – you can feel that she actually lived through everything she’s singing about. This is the complete opposite of those plastic love songs written by people whose biggest relationship experience is TikTok likes.
Faulds shows how the singer-songwriter genre should evolve. You take your personal story, package it into quality music, and get a result that works as therapy for the artist, entertainment for listeners, and a life lesson for those ready to dig deeper. Keep an eye on this name, because this girl clearly knows what she’s doing.
