Thomas Ortiz‘s Damn Lonely is a raw pop-r&b fusion that cuts deep into the heart of emotional manipulation. The track explores the painful realization of being kept as a backup, as the protagonist confronts the harsh truth that the affection they crave is only used to validate someone else’s ego. Ortiz’s vulnerable vocals bring the lyrics to life, as he wrestles with the conflict between wanting love and preserving self-respect.

A catchy melodic line ties the song together, blending smooth r&b rhythms with a pop sensibility that resonates long after the final chorus.
