Who I Was

"Who I Was" is a song by American rapper NF featuring American musician Machine Gun Kelly. It was released on November 13, 2025 as a promotional single from the NF's third EP Fear, which was released the next day. The song was produced by NF, Jeff Sojka and Aaron Chafin.

Composition

The song uses a stripped-down instrumental, over which MGK raps about losing friends, distancing himself from toxic influences, and picking up the pieces after the end of a relationship, referring to his high-profile breakup with actress Megan Fox. NF performs in two contrasting vocal deliveries: a softer, "self-aware" cadence and a harsher, frustrated tone that reflects his inner conflict.
