In an industry where rejection abounds and only a select few make it to the top, it's tempting to look over your peers' shoulders and compare their careers to yours. HunterGirl — whose real name is Hunter Wolkonowski — wrote her new ballad, "Ain't About You," in a moment of discouragement and toxic comparison, while she was still a contestant on Season 20 of American Idol and felt like her own career headway wasn't measuring up to the record deals and publishing deals she saw the friends around her snagging. As the song continues, she acknowledges that she's happy for her friends' success — but it's hard to cheer for them whole-heartedly as she's fixated on why her own hard work isn't reaping the same payoff. She wrote "Ain't About You" as a form of prayer and therapy, never intending to share it with anyone, but after a BBQ cookout where she played it for two other singers who got their start on Idol — Chayce Beckham and Noah Thompson — their encouragement spurred her to release the song. Not only is the song an honest portrayal of self-doubt, but it also works its way towards a revelation. In the chorus, HunterGirl realizes that there's always one big reason to keep grinding: There might be a young fan out there who needs to hear the music.
