Why Am I Like This?
Replaying that conversation again? Same. 🫠
Who it's for
This is a song for the replay after the party: the comment you wish you had not made and the kindness you were too frozen to offer.

What it is
'Why Am I Like This?' is a 2019 single by Irish singer-songwriter Orla Gartland and the title track of her independently released EP of the same name. Gartland has described it as a collection of stories about her own social anxiety, including a moment on the London Underground when she saw a girl crying and hesitated to check on her until it was too late.
