Because some confessions need more than words. They need a slow burn. A bass line. A broken chord in the middle of an otherwise upbeat track.
The Secret Ingredient Was Me playlist is a cheeky, indulgent romp through appetite—both literal and metaphorical. Opening with the parody track “Die with a Cry,” a Bruno Mars-style anthem to greasy cravings, it sets the perfect tone as Alice eyes a McDonald’s menu with a hunger far deeper than diet allows.
Jimmy Buffett’s “Cheeseburger in Paradise” and Hozier’s darkly sensual “Eat Your Young” follow, layering themes of forbidden desire, restless boredom, and edible escapism
Each song mirrors the blog’s emotional buffet—funny, feral, a little tragic, and undeniably human. It’s the soundtrack for anyone who’s ever been starving for more than just a late-night snack.
Yours in Love and Lunacy,
Simone.
