Deleted User Official Music Video

Deleted User is a country-gospel comedy song about the oldest music-internet trick in the book: three likes, one follow, a flood of copy-paste compliments, the same technical questions, a pitch... and then the account turns gray. I wrote it for every independent artist who can see the tactic coming before the DM even finishes loading. At heart, this song is not bitter. It is family-friendly, grown-up comedy with a little mercy in it. The joke is the fake likes, the fake follows, the fake praise, and that tiny tombstone where a “promoter” used to be. The heart is for the real people still working hard and getting buried under all that noise. Bless their hearts. Amen and goodnight.

You got those stems ready?" "Unique authentic vibe, you'll blow up, just steady" I already know the next line before it arrives Then poof... Deleted User. Surprise. [Pre-Chorus] Same three questions Same copy-paste grin Lord have mercy Here they come again [Chorus] Here they come with the like-follow-pitch Three tracks, one follow, then the same old script "Your music changed my life," copy, paste, and grin Lord have mercy on these fake promoter kin I see every tactic, I know the routine While real hard-workin' folks get buried in the stream Bless their hearts, they're hustlin' in a way that's thin Deleted User, hallelujah, I ain't fallin' in (Bless their hearts) (Deleted User now) [Verse 2] [Talk-sung] "Fire vocal, brother, who mastered that heat?" "I got radio in forty countries, ain't that sweet?" Ask if I use Logic, Ableton, or tape Then offer me playlists that somehow never take Profile says manager to the stars and you too Twelve followers, stolen pictures, and a brand-new link too [Verse 2] Some vanish mid-sentence like they saw the light Some keep typing compliments that don't sit right Same three questions, same technical bait Same "small investment, massive heavenly fate" I used to wonder if maybe this one's true Now I just smile polite and wait for the gray tombstone view [Pre-Chorus] Same three questions Same copy-paste grin Lord have mercy Here they come again [Chorus] Here they come with the like-follow-pitch Three tracks, one follow, then the same old script "Your music changed my life," copy, paste, and grin Lord have mercy on these fake promoter kin I see every tactic, I know the routine While real hard-workin' folks get buried in the stream Bless their hearts, they're hustlin' in a way that's thin Deleted User, hallelujah, I ain't fallin' in (Bless their hearts) (Deleted User now) [Bridge] I feel for the real ones grindin' after dark Sending honest notes with a real human spark Lost in a flood of bots and carbon-copy praise Pray the Good Shepherd parts these digital waves Talent's a gift and the work is the rest But fake likes and follows put faith to the test Forgive 'em, Father, they know not what they spam Meanwhile the genuine get treated like spam [Final Chorus] Here they come with the like-follow-pitch Three tracks, one follow, then the same old script "Your music changed my life," copy, paste, and grin Lord have mercy on these fake promoter kin I see every tactic, I know the routine While real hard-workin' folks get buried in the stream Bless their hearts, they're tryin', but the fruit looks thin Deleted User, amen and goodnight, I ain't buyin' in (Bless their hearts) (They're Deleted Users now) [Outro] [Spoken Word] If you liked three songs And slid in with the usual three questions God bless you Truly I'll be over here waitin' on the real ones And that little gray Deleted User tombstone Again #DeletedUser #CountryGospel #ComedySong #MusicianHumor #FakePromoters #IndieArtistLife #FamilyFriendlyComedy #OriginalMusic #RichardJoo #Music7Cuisine #BlessTheirHearts #InternetHustle #IndependentMusician #FunnyCountrySong #GospelComedy #ArtistLife
