DESCRIPTION
What if what you called love was actually breaking you down? GAYEON YOON’s “Using Me” captures the painful yet necessary journey of reclaiming your identity after losing yourself in a distorted relationship. 〈Using Me〉 was inspired by the distorted relationships that continue to appear in our society, and by the people who quietly carry pain while losing parts of themselves within them. Some relationships may look like love, care, or protection on the outside, but in reality they slowly shake a person’s sense of self, fill them with doubt, and make them feel smaller over time. This song was created to give voice to those unspoken emotions and wounds rather than look away from them. More than a song about heartbreak, 〈Using Me〉 reflects on the silence and pain hidden behind someone’s kindness, while also reaching out to those who may be going through something similar. As the lyric “You were just using me” suggests, the song traces the moment when a voice that had grown faint in someone else’s shadow begins to return. Through emotional melodies and honest storytelling, “Using Me” hopes to offer comfort to those carrying similar wounds.
