Known for her raw and relatable lyrics woven into catchy pop melodies, Calabrese has once again created a song that resonates with anyone who's ever fallen for the wrong person.
'Want Who I Want' delves into the complexities of modern dating, exploring the all-too-familiar experience of being drawn to someone you know is bad for you.

'Want Who I Want' is a testament to Calabrese's ability to translate personal experiences into universally relatable pop anthems.
"This song is about falling for that type again and again," Calabrese explains. "For being blinded by attraction, mistaking chemistry for connection, and for making excuses for bare minimum effort. Sometimes we are our own worst enemy."
The song's dynamic arrangement mirrors the tumultuous nature of the relationship it describes. The verses build with an undercurrent of tension, reflecting the internal conflict of knowing better but still succumbing to desire. The chorus explodes with a sense of abandonment, capturing the rush of giving in to those feelings, even if it's just for a moment.
'Want Who I Want' is a testament to the messy, complicated, and often frustrating experience of navigating love and relationships in the modern world. It's a reminder that even when we know better, we can still fall prey to our own desires. But it's also a celebration of the human heart's resilience, and its capacity to love, even when it's not always in our best interest.
With 'Want Who I Want', Cat Calabrese has once again proven herself to be a powerful voice in the pop landscape. The song is a must-listen for anyone who's ever found themselves caught in the push and pull of a toxic relationship. It's a reminder that we're all human, and that sometimes, we just want who we want, consequences be damned.
