A song that reminds you that love is some people’s oxygen mask.
Los Angeles-based singer-songwriter Sophia Kaloustian continues to impress with her heartfelt storytelling and genre-blending artistry. Following a strong 2024 with singles like “best intentions” and “slow dancing, slow destruction,” she returns with “Used To Breathe”—a vibrant yet introspective track that explores the emotional weight of love and self-worth.
In “Used To Breathe,” Kaloustian reflects on pouring her heart into a relationship, only to feel a creeping emptiness and insecurity. While the lyrics dive deep into vulnerability, the track itself is lively, featuring upbeat alternative instrumentation, a dynamic tempo, and playful yet poignant energy. Her vocal performance shifts between controlled coolness and raw passion, adding layers of authenticity to the song’s message.
Ultimately, “Used To Breathe” is a reminder to cherish your own worth, making it a standout addition to Kaloustian’s growing discography.
