Independent songwriter Kay Onishi turns criticism over her creative process into a bold new single, “You Call Me Lazy, You Call Me Fake.” The track explores creativity, judgment, and the decision to stand behind your work without apologizing for how it comes together.

Kay did not grow up surrounded by music. She does not come from a musical family, has no formal music training, and is not a singer. Instead, she approached songwriting as an outsider and developed her own creative process along the way.

That journey sits at the centre of “You Call Me Lazy, You Call Me Fake.” Kay openly uses AI tools as part of her songwriting process, a choice that has attracted criticism from people who view AI-assisted music as lazy or inauthentic.

For Kay, however, AI remains a tool rather than the author. She creates the concepts, develops the stories, writes the lyrics, and directs how her ideas take shape. The technology becomes part of the process, while the creative vision remains hers.

Rather than responding to her critics with an argument, Kay turns their words into music. “You Call Me Lazy, You Call Me Fake” delivers that response with humor, frustration, and attitude.

Musically, the track brings trap-pop energy together with rhythmic shifts that keep the production moving. The lyrics focus on the work that happens behind the scenes, from developing ideas and writing to making creative decisions, revising, and staying committed to the finished song.

Ultimately, “You Call Me Lazy, You Call Me Fake” is Kay Onishi’s unapologetic response to judgment. It asks listeners to look beyond the tools used to create a song and consider the ideas, intention, and persistence behind it.

“You Call Me Lazy, You Call Me Fake” is available now on major streaming platforms.
