[Intro – funky bass slide, snapped claps]
Yeah…
Uh—
Why is it always like that?
[Verse 1 – bouncy, talk-sung]
Wrote the hook, yeah it’s feelin’ right,
Late night cookin’, hit “generate.”
Melody smooth, vibe so clean,
Then the cover art jumpscares me.
I said romance, soft and sweet,
Why it look like it crawled from a dream?
I’m tryna set a mood, set a tone,
Not summon something I don’t know.
[Pre-Chorus – playful build]
I type in love, I type in chill,
I press upload—why it look ill?
Every time, yeah every song,
Why the picture always wrong?
[Chorus – chanty, catchy, repeatable]
Why this picture? Why this face?
I made a vibe, not a haunted place.
Why this picture? Tell me why—
Song sound warm but the cover wanna cry.
Why this picture? Hey—hey!
Why it look like fear in HD?
I just want a mood that fits the sound,
Not whatever that thing is staring down.
[Post-Chorus – chant loop, bounce]
Why this pic—why this pic?
Hey-hey, why this pic?
Why this pic—why this pic?
Yeah, yeah.
[Verse 2 – confident, funny flex]
Playlist climbin’, numbers move,
People vibin’ to the groove.
They hit play, they feel the spark,
Then they see the art and pause like—“nah.”
I promise it’s not how it sounds,
Just trust me, let the beat come down.
Music sweet, soul on display,
Ignore the picture, press play.
[Pre-Chorus – brighter lift]
I swear one day it’ll get it right,
Soft tones, warm glow, calm night.
Till then I laugh, let it ride,
Bad cover, good inside.
[Chorus – bigger, funkier]
Why this picture? Why this face?
I made a vibe, not a jump-scare case.
Why this picture? Tell me why—
Love song playin’ but the cover look shy.
Why this picture? Hey—hey!
Why it look like fear on replay?
I just want a mood that fits the sound,
Not whatever that thing is staring down.
[Bridge – stripped beat, spoken humor]
Maybe it’s art…
Maybe it’s deep…
Maybe the AI just hates me.
But the song still slaps, so it’s okay,
I’ll let the music lead the way.
[Final Chorus – chant-heavy, fun]
Why this picture? One more time!
Beat so smooth, cover so wild.
Why this picture? Still we dance,
Hit repeat, give it a chance.
Why this picture? Hey—hey!
Laugh it off, let the groove stay.
If the sound is right, then I’m alright—
Bad cover, good song, every night.
[Outro – bass groove fades, chant echoes]
Why this pic…
Hey-hey…
Yeah…
Still hittin’ play.
