Felicia Lu’s latest release is a clever track about one of modern society’s greatest addictions—Social Media. “Obsessed” is about how unlimited access to smart phones and social media has created an epidemic of digital zombies. The track is composed of witty lyrics that highlight Lu’s genius songwriting and exposes the dangers of social media. She immediately dives into the toxicity of the online world in the first lines of the song as she sings, “Yeah, I’ve been staring at my reflection// I feel like I’ve lost my perception// Can’t let it go, got blurred self-deception.” These lyrics are crucial examples of the damage social media can cause. Due to Photoshop, Facetune, and filters, the line between reality and fiction is distorted. To an outsider, someone’s life may seem perfect and they may appear to have the perfect body. But the truth of the matter is, social media hides the flaws and nothing is as it seems. Lu admits that she is not the exception to this phenomenon, and that she struggles with these problems as well. “Obsessed” is an outstanding track that brings to light the dark side of the online world, while remaining true to Lu’s impeccable musical style.
