Kaibrienne Unearths Raw Emotion in teach you how to love me

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
