“‘What Once Was’ is a song about a breakup when you still have some things to fetch from the house you used to share. Your ex won’t let you in the apartment, and besides, the drama it causes. Also, it can lead to this comedic breakup song.” – Yannick Songca

‘What Once Was’ tells a heartfelt tale of a guy who recently broke up with his significant other. Apparently, the emotional breakup happened on a bad note. Therefore, he finds difficulty in obtaining his personal belongings from his ex’s apartment.

‘What Once Was’ contains a relatable storyline, conversational rap vocals, and tuneful melodies. Also, the bar-riddled tune possesses groovy instrumentation scented with a classic hip-hop aroma.
