kylekelly’s “It’s ALWAYS been about you” zeroes in on a relationship defined by imbalance, where one person consistently takes center stage. The title and repeated chorus don’t just hint at the issue; they spell it out, framing the tension that drives the entire track.
In terms of musical style, the track moves within alt-pop, with a foundation of guitars and drums that builds progressively. The production remains clean, allowing the voice to carry the weight of the song, so the focus is always on the message.
The lyrics develop a tense situation. There are direct accusations, questioning, and a constant sense of exhaustion. Lines like “I’m here so you’ve someone to blame” and “Telling me ‘I’d never even date you’” show a relationship marked by disparagement and the need to have someone to place responsibility on. The other character appears as critical, controlling, and self-centered. Because of this, the song works as a structured release.

Toward the end, the repetition of “Let’s make it all about you/one last time” appears not as a reconciliation, but rather as a final concession before breaking away from that dynamic. This shift gives full meaning to the track, which not only exposes the problem but also marks a turning point.
kylekelly is an alt-pop artist building his project around songs that work both in intimate settings and on stage. At just over twenty years old, his work combines personal storytelling, rock energy, and an aesthetic that draws from cinematic language to explore growth, relationships, and disconnection.
He grew up in the suburbs of New Jersey and trained early in piano, guitar, drums, and bass, which allowed him to develop as a well-rounded creator. By 17, he was already performing on stages across New York, learning how to hold an audience beyond the musical performance itself.

His work is rooted in the personal, with songs drawn from his own experiences yet crafted with such detail that they are easy to recognize. There is anxiety, humor, and heartbreak handled without exaggeration. Tracks like “Is There Something (i don’t know)” and “my little heart <3” show his ability to translate individual experiences into stories that connect in a direct way.
