You Love Me When I'm Not Me

Monster Check ✓
□ 我的人生好像一直在照著別人的劇本走。
□ 感覺再怎麼努力都無法達成對方的期待。
□ 比起問「我想要什麼」，更常問「別人希望我怎麼做」。
□ 我常因為害怕衝突而選擇迎合別人。
□ 我害怕真正的自己不會被愛。

Monster #01 — CONTROL

2026 CORAL 首張全英文創作專輯《Hey, Monster!》
首支單曲〈You Love Me When I'm Not Me〉7/17 數位上線

CORAL 即將於 10 月推出首張全英文創作專輯《Hey, Monster!》。歷經七年的創作累積，將一路以來面對愛情、家庭、身份認同與成長歷程的感受，整理成十首全英文作品。每首歌都對應著一隻內心的 Monster，記錄與它共存、對話的過程。

首支單曲〈You Love Me When I'm Not Me〉聚焦《Hey, Monster!》中的第一隻 Monster — CONTROL，描繪當家庭、社會與親密關係試圖替一個人寫好人生劇本時，逐漸失去自我的窒息感。編曲刻意以帶有老派浪漫感的 Dream Pop 搭配 6/8 拍，與歌詞中的壓抑形成反差，夢幻柔和的旋律包覆著壓抑而沉重的情緒，也讓歌曲中的矛盾感更加鮮明。

單曲封面延續歌曲概念，以枯萎玫瑰作為主視覺，搭配碎鑽、散落的彩帶，呈現光鮮外表與內在消耗之間的落差，呼應歌曲所描寫被期待、被定義的人生。

〈You Love Me When I'm Not Me〉揭開《Hey, Monster!》的序幕，也為這張專輯寫下第一個關於內心怪物的故事。

Every scene, every line, every step
Written out before I even got a say
That’s my fuckin’ play, my fuckin’ play
You’ve got your little plot in your head
Oh, did I mention? That’s the script for my life
My fuckin’ life, that’s my fuckin’ life

I wish I wasn’t too good at my work
I wish my dream was to marry a doctor
I wish I never had my own mind
I wish I wasn’t gay

You love me when I sit and smile
You love me when I play by your rules, by your rules
Those are your rules
You love me when I’m not me
Yeah, you love me when I’m you, when I’m you, when I’m you
It’s all about you

Every scene, every line, every step
Written out before I even got a say
That’s my fuckin’ play, my fuckin’ play
You’ve got your little plot in your head
Oh, did I mention? That’s the script for my life
My fuckin’ life, that’s my fuckin’ life

I wish I wasn’t too good at my work
I wish my dream was to marry a doctor
I wish I never had my own mind
I wish I wasn’t gay

You love me when I nod along
You love me when I play by your rules, by your rules
They’re not my rules
You love me when I’m not me
Yeah, you love me when I’m you, when I’m you, when I’m you
But I’m not you
But I’m not you
It’s all about you
Mmm…
But I’m not you
