Lyrics:
It’s hard havin’ a heart in the city
Look at the stars, waitin' for someone to tell you you’re pretty, you’re enough
So it goes, I don’t know, what the feeling’s like to be comfortable
With a stranger in your skin
Don’t know why you let them in

We used to talk about the fakers in LA
But now you’re one of ‘em and damn it hurts to say
I should've seen it comin’ from a mile away, a mile away
You always wanted to take before you give
But what’s the fun of it
I don’t know how you live with yourself in your Hollywood house in the hills
Gives me chills
City of angels

Used to say, if you ever made it I’d be the first call
And life would stay fairly the same
Oh our friendship wouldn’t change at all
But you busted, haven’t talked in a year
I mistrusted, now it’s all comin’ clear
That you only think of yourself
May be loved, but you’re lonely as hell, oh

We used to talk about the fakers in LA
But now you’re one of ‘em, I guess you got your way
I bet you're tired of all the games you had to play, you had to play
You always wanted to take before you give
But what’s the fun of it
I don’t know how you live with yourself in your Hollywood house in the hills
Gives me chills

City of angels
That’s what they call us, right
Wish you were able
To see there’s so much more to life
Than fortune and fame
Validation and pain
When you always want more
There’s nothing to gain

We used to talk about the fakers in LA
But now you’re one of ‘em and damn it hurts to say
Damn it hurts to say
You always wanted to take before you give
But what’s the fun of it
I don’t know how you live with yourself in your Hollywood house in the hills
Gives me chills

City of angels
That's what they call us, right
Wish you were able
To see there's so much more to life
City of angels
That's what they call us, right
City of angels

Y'ALL WE HIT 2 MILLION ON SPOTIFY TODAY I LOVE U

[Leo-gkvh]

When it blinked I was shocked but what shocked me even more IS THIS SINGING

[Lucetheloser]

Someone’s spreading your word around TikTok, that’s how I got here. You might be getting more popular soon

[lovelylittlesteamboat]

it's only called a city of angels because, with a voice like this, there is clearly living a real life angel there.

[NeanderthalOfficial]

YOU KNOW WHAT ELSE GIVES ME CHILLS?? THIS SONG BECAUSE YOU KILLED IT EMILY

This song is beautiful and so is your voice. Even if you don't have a huge audience I'm still listening to your great music :)

[anaisveger]

I'm EXTREMELY picky with my music and usually listen to classical but my friend was showing me a bunch of songs that I might like and this is the only one out of all of them that I like and now I can't stop listening (she recommended at least 20 songs). The lyrics are so amazing and along with your voice it sounds amazing! Remember me when you get famous :D

[katethemistake]

I really want the lyrics to this badly, it’s my favourite song. This song is seriously amazing

[tommyphelan]

The steady and fierce piano combined with the bass timings are reminding me heavily of Halmiton and the style of his music. The sudden piano notes gives it a really deep and strong feeling This song is so well made. Good job.

[zanderthebest]

How does this not have more views actually what the hell im obsessed

[emmabrennan]

All I can say is... Chills man literally Chills

[Thenightwatchlogs]

People who disliked this won't be welcomed to the

*City* *of* *angels*


edit : can't believe it has 1m views
I commented this when it had a few thousand

[LitteralyaTree]

It was a really nice touch that as the song went on the instrumentals got progressively fuzzier like she was getting more and more distraught and it was effecting the song

[zerado-]

Heard your music because of the art not algorithms playlist and fell right in. What a beautiful voice and lyric. Hope to see your audience grow more and more.

[silly_cupcaketwt]

The “We used to talk about the fakers in LA but now your one of them” Part really hits hard

[BhootJager]

This song gave me nostalgia of happier times thank you for this

[EmBeihold]

Just uploaded an instrumental version for anyone who wants to sing it/cover it :) Also, thank you for all your kind comments and support! Seriously means the world to me ❤️

[isabellebissonrouthier]

I cant stop listening to this! HOW doesnt it have more views

[tiff]

I feel like I could see this in a musical...idk maybe it’s because the color of the angel reminds me of the color of the cover of Hamilton. Like a golden rusty yellow. Plus the dramatic pauses and background music/sounds give me musical vibes
