I Hope You’re Like You Described

Erika de Casier “Delusional”

“Delusional” is an online dating song that sounds like a love song. Erika de Casier is singing from the perspective of someone approaching a match with a lot of optimism, but also a sensible degree of caution: “I think I’m ready for a new boo / I saw your pictures, is that really you?” The beautiful thing about this song is that even though de Casier expresses skepticism pretty much every step of the way, she’s presenting the point of view of someone who is genuinely hoping to find love. Is she just imagining things, projecting on strangers? Maybe, probably. But you’ve got to visualize success, right?
