Kat Orlando’s latest release, Not That Guy, dives into the complexities of relationships and the uncertainty many face when deciding to trust someone new. The song tells the story of a man assuring his partner that he’s different and won’t hurt her, even as she struggles with hesitation.
Orlando explains that the song is inspired by the universal feelings of falling for someone but not fully knowing who they are. It’s a relatable message for anyone who’s ever experienced the tension between attraction and caution, as well as the frustration of discovering someone isn’t who they initially seemed.
Drawing from her own experiences, Kat says the song came together naturally, reflecting the intense, sometimes scary emotions of opening up to love. Not That Guy is a heartfelt and honest anthem for anyone navigating the early stages of a relationship.
