Kaibrienne’s back, and she’s not pulling punches. Teach you how to love me isn’t the victory lap you’d expect after her viral American Idol run.
Instead, it’s a relationship ultimatum masquerading as a pop song.
Her debut, girl i am now, was all self-celebration—a ballad toasting hard-won battles and newfound confidence.
This time? Kaibrienne’s turning that introspection outward, and someone’s in the hot seat.
The track opens with a whisper—gentle piano notes like hesitant raindrops.
Then Kaibrienne’s voice slices through, somehow both vulnerable and steel-edged.
She’s painting snapshots of backseat promises and Tennessee nights, but the subtext is clear: I’ve grown. Have you?
The chorus doesn’t mince words. “I don’t wanna have to teach you / Teach you how to love me” lands like a gauntlet thrown.
Drums kick in, mimicking a heartbeat on the verge of fight-or-flight. This isn’t the same girl revelling in personal growth. Kaibrienne’s demanding that growth from someone else.
Fresh from conquering Hashimoto’s disease and “crippling stage fright,” she’s weaponizing that hard-earned resilience.
“Teach you how to love me” takes the introspection of her debut and sharpens it into a pointed question: Are you worthy of the person I’ve become?
Will it climb charts like its predecessor? Time will tell. But when Kaibrienne sings, “You stand there like a ghost / While I try to hold you close,” the frustration is palpable.
This track doesn’t beg for attention; it commands it.
Give it a listen. Like her debut, it’s got that timeless ballad quality—you’ll swear you’ve known it for years.
Before long, you’re belting “Lo-ove, lo-ove, lo-ove” into your shampoo bottle, suddenly hyper-aware of your own emotional growth spurts.
Kaibrienne’s done celebrating solo. Now she’s asking: Who’s growing with her?

Kaibrienne teach you how to love me Lyrics
Verse 1
In the backseat of your car
Playing music in the dark
That’s how I think of you
When I’m missing you
Did you lie in Tennessee
When you said that it was me? ‘
Cause I don’t get how
You’re so different now
Pre-Chorus
You’re back and you’re forth and you push and you pull
Running away from your feelings
It kills me the most
Yeah it kills me the most
Chorus
I don’t wanna have to teach you
Teach you how to love me
I don’t wanna have to tell you
I’m everything or nothing
I don’t wanna have to play all of these games
To make you want me
I don’t wanna have to teach you
Teach you how to love me
Teach you how to
Lo-ove
Lo-ove
Lo-ove
Verse 2
You stand there like a ghost
While I try to hold you close
But you got walls
And won’t let them fall I know that you’ve been hurt
So you’re scared of the worst
But I’m here now
So let them down
Pre-Chorus
‘Cause one day you’re in and the next day you’re out
Running in circles around and around Oh
That’s what kills me the most
Chorus
I don’t wanna have to teach you
Teach you how to love me
I don’t wanna have to tell you
I’m everything or nothing
I don’t wanna have to play all of these games
To make you want me
I don’t wanna have to teach you
Teach you how to love me
Teach you how to
Lo-ove
Lo-ove
Lo-ove
Teach you how to love me
Lo-ove
Lo-ove
Lo-ove
Outro
I don’t have to teach you
Teach you how to love me
I don’t wanna have to tell you
I’m everything or nothing
