[@caristewart481]

This brings back the memories of being 16 and sobbing so hard I couldn't breathe, begging god to let me die and asking why my parents couldn't just love me.
Im 35 now and while I will never understand why they couldn't love me, I've built a family around me that does. And these 4 little souls that call me Mommy will never, ever have to wonder if they are loved.

I’m from TikTok and I’ve stayed since just after she made the first video of Least Favorite Only Child

[@Nimafox]

The "I'm not a danger to myself or others" line really hits home with me, because sometimes its a disclaimer I always have to put out there before I can talk about my feelings. I know it's important for people to know where I'm at but it really feels isolating at times.

[@dakotasmith6198]

I’m an only child and I feel like people with siblings don’t understand how hard it really is growing up all alone and I’m just really happy you made this song because now I finally have someone that knows these shitty feelings. Thank you so much for making this song💖🖤

[@kiwi-dy4ok]

I personally grew up with a brother, and I will say; I used to wish that I was an only child so much. But now after getting closer to him and growing older, I couldn’t even imagine being an only child. It must feel so lonely. I feel like people only think about it as if only children get more stuff since they don’t have siblings, and don’t have to deal with them. I really wish you the best, and just know that you can do this! I really hope that you have a great day/night wherever you are. ☺️

[@SpongeyTii]

I got both sides of the spectrum. I got only child until 13 and then mum got married and had a daughter and son and I love them with all my heart. But this song hits me with everything but also... Not her favourite 😂

[@CatPCgaming]

No one who grew up with siblings will ever be able to understand how lonely it is growing up as an only child, everyone around you always tells you that you're lucky while to you they look like the lucky ones since they'll always have someone they can turn to and maybe even call a friend. (Yes I am well aware that straight up abusive siblings who do unspeakable things exist, I just want to talk about my own experiences right now)
I always wanted to have siblings since then I'd always have someone to turn to, I would always have a friend no matter what. The 5th grade was really rough for me and I basically had no friends that year, I would've given anything just to have someone I knew would always be there for me, because my parents sure weren't, hell they made it worse since my dad was basically never there and my mom would get upset with me for talking about my problems and talk about how either her problems are worse or something about the starving children in africa.
Thinking about all that reminded me about how this one person told me that I'm lucky my parents care about me, when I have on multiple occasions questioned if that's really the case. Plus at the time I felt incredibly lonely so it just kind of hurt. They acted like they knew more than me when it came to abuse, when in reality I was the one being abused (they might've been too but I have no way of knowing)

[@chelseawillis5190]

“i know i should be kinder to my body and my mind”

"You've got the rest of your life to feel different than you do now" there it is I'm crying

[@hollierose1145]

hey bestie how did u put feelings into words like this

[@francesca394]

Just found this song today and the lyrics just hits deep
I don't wanna die
I just want people to think I could've
So the next time that they see me
They'll hold me a little tighter
And think about how sad it'd be if I wasn't alive anymore
I've felt this feeling so many times, hope you get a lot of good things, your song is amazing

[@sammyssunnysideup8288]

The hits so close to home. I'm tired of always seeking for my mom validation. Always earning for her attention and love. Every this song hits my fyp I cried so hard. Thank you for this song.

[@nightgaze3311]

I’m an only child. I completely understand every single line of this song, I have felt many of those emotions. I have considered running away many times, but there’s always something that stops me...it gets really annoying because my parents both work and hardly have time for me. Then everyone assumes I’m lucky because I get all the attention and all the love. People really need to realise that all my problems don’t disappear just because I don’t have to share anything with everyone. It doesn’t work that way. I do one little thing that upsets my dad and he doesn’t speak to me for a week so then I have to figure out what I did wrong by myself. I feel neglected at school and out of place. I see people with supportive siblings and on reflect on my own life. This song is an anthem to me, and I listen to it daily. If you have anyone special in your life, hold onto them dearly and don’t let go. Because you’ll need them one day xx

[@migmeister]

I'm the youngest of three, so definitely not an only child, but it hit hard.
I used to feel the same way about getting hurt so my parents and siblings would appreciate me more. It never happened, luckily. But even now, I'll still get these intrusive thoughts sometimes.
It's good to know I'm not the only one. 🥰😍

[@isabelanightingale1290]

This is one of those rare songs you listen to for the lyrics, and even the music is gorgeous.

[@britneycramer282]

So the next time that they see me, they'd hold me a little tighter and think about how sad it'd be if I wasn't alive anymore.... wow

People always think that only children are so "gifted", but i recently got a younger brother, and i have to say, its way better than anything.

[@justanothertypicalartist3884]

I’ve been around for while and to see the progress you’ve made, not just on Least Favorite Only Child, but in your art, and in yourself is something I’m so proud to have witnessed. It’s taken a lot of strength and probably courage for you to grow in the ways you have and it’s quite honestly very brave to have shown that to the world in real time. It’s been a honour to be able to watch you grow, Leanna!! Much love!! I’m so proud of you, beautiful! This was so good!

[@umanyeongg]

I literally can't wait for this music video, you deserve the world Leanna!!
edit: THIS SONG IS SO GOOD OMG

[@kittymittenz]

This song seriously helped me through my depression. Every single lyric describes exactly how I felt and I finally felt like maybe someone understood me. Luckily I have a happy ending because I've gotten medication for my depression and I feel so much better now :)

[@babylyncandeleja1127]

Praying from the bottom of my heart, to every people out there who relates to this masterpiece; may you find peace towards your self and your mother. May you be more kinder to yourself. May you be safe and healthy. May you get over this soon, slowly but surely

[@sonialorenz8919]

Oh my gosh Leanna this is incredible. You’re literally so talented I can’t comprehend it. Omg omg omg. This is gonna be on every playlist I have.

[@violetevergarden0123]

From the invalidation and volatility at home I developed borderline personality disorder. I’m slowly realizing I have a deep relational wound. Often feeling unloveable and invisible, sensitive to rejection so I keep to myself, having intense and shifting emotions especially rage and shame. The hospitals had to keep me safe many times. I’d picture having a secure relationship with mom and dad and I’d feel a strong yearning. Thanks for this song it’s helping me heal ♡

[@eena5132]

Almost pierced my nose
In the bathroom out of spite
'Cause I had to move back home
And my mom and I were in a fight
But I just couldn't
Guess I'm not that wild
And I don't wanna stay
Her least favorite only child
Almost crashed my car
Into a light pole just to say I did it
I don't wanna die
I just want people to think I could've
So the next time that they see me
They'll hold me a little tighter
And think about how sad it'd be
If I wasn't alive anymore
And I know that it's probably selfish
And I shouldn't think like that
So what if I do it for attention?
Would that really be so bad?
'Cause I'm not gonna do it
Just gonna think about it a lot
And I'm not a danger to myself or others
I know its what it sounds like
But I swear I'm not
I just wanna feel different
Than what I've felt before
And I don't wanna be my mom's least favorite only child anymore
Almost ran away
I packed my car and took the keys
Just to see if I disappeared
Would anyone even look for me?
I cut and dyed my hair to try to feel like someone new
But I couldn't escape myself
No matter how badly I wanted to
And I know that it's probably selfish
And I shouldn't think like that
So what if I do it for attention?
Would that really be so bad?
'Cause I'm not gonna do it
Just gonna think about it a lot
And I'm not a danger to myself or others
I know it's what it sounds like
But I swear I'm not
I just wanna feel different
Than what I've felt before
And I don't wanna be my mom's least favorite only child anymore
And I know that it's probably selfish
And I shouldn't think like that
So what if I do it for attention?
Does that really make me bad?
'Cause I'm not gonna do it
Just gonna think about it a lot
And I'm not a danger to myself or others
I know it's what it sounds like
But I swear I'm not
I just wanna feel different
Than what I've felt before
And I don't wanna be my mom's least favorite only child anymore
And I know I should be kinder
To my body and my mind
And things are gonna get better
If I just give myself more time
I've got the rest of my life
To feel different than I do
And being my mom's least favorite only child
Must mean that I'm her favorite too

[@EmeryMcBride1221]

I’m my moms only daughter. She used to tell me if I really wanted to do what I thought about, I would’ve. I wanted to so badly, but I started to live out of spite. She hated dark hair, and I found that I loved how I looked with black hair. She hates short hair, I think it frames my face in a very pixie like way. She loves how pastels and jewel tones look on me, I prefer black. She disapproved of every piercing I got, and after 17, I realized I love how I look with a face full of metal. She wanted me in her control for my entire life until I got married, so when I finally had the money, I moved 2.5 hours away. I’m constantly figuring out new parts of me that I love and I’m becoming a different person. I’m loving myself and learning to accept that being her least favorite only daughter means I’m her favorite daughter, which is something. And one day, I’ll forgive her for how she raised me

[@vulpeculacollective]

When i first heard this song i was so close, so so so close, this song saved my life. And leanna still manages to save me every fucking day. i wish I had the guts to tell you that when I met you, leanna. It changed me, I wouldn't be who I am without you. No that's a lie, I wouldn't fucking be here. Your lyrics speak so close to my heart, especially your new album, just its healing. I remember hearing it and sobbing and feeling free. I asked god to kill me or give me love. He sent me leanna ❤❤❤

My mom and I are in a better terms now, but gosh this hits home. When i was younger i often joke about being an only child but was never the favourite. I guess i was just really lonely growing up. My mother's nitpicking and micromanaging added to my self-loathing..
But to all the least favorite only child out there, it sure does get better. We get better. We may be our mom's least favorite child, but we are her favorite too. ❤️

[@lilyplaym]

Middle child here. This hits home. Like I would be talking about a book I read that says they have to kill the youngest and my mother says “ I would have you killed, because your sister is my only hope for a successful family.” Most of her pain when I was younger would be taken out on me making me the way I am today.

Literally the FIRST time you said the chorus I was like “well that technically also makes you her favorite as well!” And then the sadder it got I desperately wanted to tell you that. That you need to see the world positively. Glass half full. And I’m so proud of you. How far you’ve come. I used to think the EXACT same way. Being aware is the worst part about it. I’d think about doing that stuff just to see people’s reactions. I suppose it wasn’t that much of attention and more like me experimenting and playing with people’s reactions.
