My favorite song right now is probably Backburner by NIKI.
It’s the 3rd track on her album Nicole. The album reflects the artist’s personal growth and the experiences that have shaped her perspective on relationships.
The song talks about the emotional experience of being someone’s second choice or fallback option in a relationship. The term “backburner” also refers to a situation where someone is kept in reserve and not prioritized. NIKI captures the complex emotions of longing and disappointment that come with being on the backburner in someone’s life.
NIKI, also known as Nicole Zefanya, is a singer, songwriter, and record producer known for her blend of R&B, pop, and indie music. She gained early recognition by posting music on YouTube, which led her to joining the music collective 88rising.
