Paper

"this was the first song written for "mama’s boy". i wrote it in january of 2019. i knew this album was gonna demand another round of honesty and vulnerability from me. everyone thinks you both look so good together, but they have no idea what it’s like behind closed doors. put on a smile, get out of the house, hang out with your coupled up friends, act like you’re having fun. you stay together because of the outside expectations and praise from total strangers. let’s be honest... we’re not happy."

- Paul

"Paper" (stylized in all lowercase) is the sixth track on LANY's third studio album, Mama's Boy.
