People by Libianca Lyrics Meaning
“People”, written by Libianca and her team, is a song released on the 5th of December 2022. It’s a track with an emotional rollercoaster.
The song is showing emotional pain with feelings of loneliness, neglect and betrayal.
She is seeking support as she navigates her difficult emotions. Libianca wants to convey a sense of longing for support from others while also expressing the challenges and difficulties that she is facing.
In the first verse, Libianca is communicating frustration saying that she feels neglected by someone they care about.
The second verse suggests that the speaker is feeling paranoid and is attempting to hide her emotions or concerns by putting on a false appearance, of happiness.
Libianca is addressing God as a “holy father” and asks for His guidance in the third verse of “People”.
The music video was released two weeks ago and has so far garnered 9.2 million views and is #14 on trending for music on YouTube.
