Annika Rose - Just Like You

our parents are mirrors. in the canvas of life, the mother-daughter relationship unfolds in complex ways as u grow up. "do you see you in me?" echoes that reflection, as i’m acknowledging my roots in the so-called “tree”. there’s a constant string that is tied to the generational echoes of a certain dynamic.

this song is a revelation and acknowledgement that after years of accusations and fiery exchanges, there’s a toxic inheritance that reveals itself to me and in me.

just like you explores the complexity of my own self-discovery within the reflections of my parental influence, acknowledging my struggle to break free while embracing the undeniable kinship in our shared flaws.

and i love you, always, but i don’t want to be like you anymore.
