Song Meaning of “A Fake Hello” by The Young Fresh Fellows
A Fake Hello is a tongue-in-cheek look at the superficiality of modern relationships. It’s about how we put on a phony facade in order to fit in or get attention. We pretend to like people or false-flatter them, in order to get on their good side or advance our own career. It’s an honest take on how we so often use others for our own gain, by fabricating a false version of a relationship and putting up a facade of being friends. The chorus explicitly expresses this, with lines such as “a fake hello, a promise I know I won’t keep”. The song is a timely reminder to be authentic with our relationships and not to take others for granted.
