How Did I Ever

## Lyric video

"**How Did I Ever**" is the second track on Lyn Lapid's debut extended play, *The Outsider*. It was released on April 15, 2022, through Republic Records.

## Background

On January 24, 2022, Lapid posted a snippet of the song on her TikTok while preparing for Eric Nam's 2022 World Tour backstage.

On March 29, 2022, Lapid posted another snippet of the song, on TikTok.

On April 1, 2022, as an April Fools' joke, Lapid posted an announcement on her Discord server, stating that her upcoming extended play was pushed back from its original release date by a month, due to delays on the final production. She revealed that this song and "Comatose" had interpolations of two songs, and to avoid copyright claims she would have to remove them from the extended play.

On April 8, 2022, @spoonofjelly posted a series of designs that hinted at the title of the songs on the extended play. Later that day, Lapid posted the track list on her Discord server, confirming its placement on the extended play.

## Lyrics

**[Verse 1]**

Seven months have gone by

Guess that time is on my side

Now I don't want you back

'Cause you were never all that

And I think that it's scary

How you seem so ordinary

It was you I'd cry over

Summer me, I don't know her

**[Pre-Chorus]**

Were the planets somehow unaligned?

Or did I lose my mind 'cause I'm

Realizing that I was a different person

And I must've been crazy too

**[Chorus]**

'Cause how did I ever fall in love with you? (You)

How did I ever fall in love–

**[Verse 2]**

Used to hang up all your photos here all over my wall

Used to cry when you forgot to call

Now, looking back I know that era wasn't my best

I'll admit I was a little obsessed

This just in here on Channel 4

I'm no longer that girl anymore

You'll love the next one unconditionally

But you'll never find another like me

**[Pre-Chorus]**

Were the planets somehow unaligned?

Or did I lose my mind 'cause I'm

Realizing that I was a different person

And I must've been crazy too

**[Chorus]**

'Cause how did I ever fall in love with you? (You)

**[Post-Chorus]**

You, you, you, you, you, you, you, you

You, you, you, you, you, you, you, you

You, you, you, you, you, you, you, you

**[Outro]**

How did I fall in–

Fall in love, how did I fall in love?

Fall in love, how did I fall in love?

Fall in love, how did I fall in love?

Fall in love, how did I fall in love?

## Trivia

* Lapid has stated that she considers this song as the identical twin to "In My Mind".
