Cody Hoffman, under the moniker The Romance, delivers a raw and unapologetic anthem with “Fu2urface.” The song is a rebellious expression of frustration, defiance, and refusal to adapt to external pressures. All this, mixed with a powerful musical setting and an even more rebellious voice.

The song begins with a powerful statement: ‘This place is killing me slowly but I’m not giving in‘, which lays the foundation for a narrative of escape and resistance. Hoffman’s voice has a raspy edge that injects the lyrics with a palpable sense of urgency, with a delivery that heightens the emotional weight of the message and creates an authentic connection with the listener.

Cody said: “‘Fu2urface’ was written cause my ex-manager would piss me off. He’d be an asshole to me but I needed him to move forward in my music career so I always wanted to say fuck you, to his face. Which I eventually did multiple times while walking down Sunset Blvd in Echo Park”.

The recurring theme of not wanting to change despite challenges resonates throughout the song, as does the need to say things directly. Spicy and irreverent lines like “I’ve wanted to say/fuck you to your face/You’re always right/that’s my mistake/ yeah I bet you shit gold every single day” convey the rawness of the message that arrives directly and without protocol filters.

Bold and cathartic expressions are repeated throughout the track capturing repressed frustration and the need for release. The lyrics make it clear that the speaker is fed up with someone who always thinks he is right, highlighting the toxicity of this relationship.

Musically, “Fu2urface” has dynamic and energetic arrangements. Driving beats and edgy guitar riffs amplify the rebellious spirit of the lyrics and create a sound that is both bold and invigorating.

Originally from New Jersey, ‘The Romance‘ has called Los Angeles home for the past decade. In his career, he has collaborated with Grammy-winning or nominated producers, including the likes of Carlos De La Garza (known for his work with Ziggy Marley and Paramore), Gavin Mackillop (renowned for his contributions to Sugarcult, Miley Cyrus, and Goo Goo Dolls), and Scot Stewart (notable for his work with Avril Lavigne and Blink 182).

In conclusion, “Fu2urface” is a fierce, unfiltered expression of personal strength and defiance. The lyrics, combined with the powerful musical arrangement, create a compelling anthem that resonates with anyone facing challenges and seeking empowerment.

Currently, The Romance is making waves with the release of new singles each month, showcasing his musical prowess and versatility. Furthermore, fans can look forward to experiencing his electrifying performances on tour, where he will be supporting The Summer Set in 2024.
