Not My NPC
Freak Pop + dark dance-pop groove with syncopated backbeat. Female vocal ranges between whispery sly delivery, soulful belts, playful falsetto flips, and chanty declarations. Groove backbone: stompy syncopated beat with sub-bass pulse. Key lead: Rhodes/Wurlitzer stabs, short and moody. Odd textures: eerie bells, ghostly vocal chops, sarcastic crowd chants. Rare flourish: vinyl tape-stop before final chorus. Drops: Vocal Chop Drop into first chorus, Stomp + Silence Drop in second pre-chorus, False Drop at bridge return, Mock Cheer Drop at finale. Dynamic arc: whispery sly verse → clipped, rising pre-chorus → stompy soulful chorus with chant lines → stripped whisper bridge → epic stacked vocal final chorus. Tone: sarcastic, theatrical, playful-to-epic, choreography-ready. Avoid glossy EDM, circus textures, monotone delivery.

Lyrics
Verse 1
He says, “I know you from somewhere”
Maybe the mall, maybe nowhere
I don’t really care, don’t stare
I don’t even go there
You talk like déjà vu
Same line, different face
Act like I owe you space
I don’t play NPCs (ouch)
Pre-Chorus
I never told you
This was your move
To trail me round
My town
You missed the signal
Red it wrong
I don’t unlock
By hanging on
Chorus
You’re not my NPC
Didn’t tell you talk to me
It’s my game
You’re just not my level
No cheat code, no XP
Not the upgrade I need
It’s my game
And you’re just not my level
Not the power-up I need
Verse 2
Oh
He says
“I see you”
(Like that’s original)
Says I’m the girl
He’d build his world around
Yeah, I’ve heard it all before
Different mouth, same sound
Oh
Please
You’re late to the scene
I’ve been the final boss
Since seventeen
Pre-Chorus
And I don’t need you
Or your entourage
Running commentary
Like you’re in charge
Keep your opinions
Off my screen
I don’t need patch notes
About me
Chorus
You’re not my NPC
Didn’t ask you talk to me
It’s my game
You’re just not my level
No cheat code, no XP
Not the upgrade I need
It’s my game
And you’re just not my level
Not the power-up I need
Outro / Tag
Not what I need
Not what I need
Controller down
Don’t speak to me
