My Top 5 Songs: A Deep Dive into the Tracks That Define My Sound
Hey everyone, Cody King here! If you’ve been following my journey, you know I’ve poured my soul into hundreds of tracks over the years—everything from raw freestyles to full-blown albums that hit like a late-night confession. Releasing music online has been my lifeline, a way to connect with you all across the globe through platforms like SoundCloud, Spotify, Apple Music, and beyond. Today, on September 23, 2025, I’m thrilled to share my personal top 5 songs that have resonated the most with fans and me alike. These aren’t just hits; they’re pieces of my heart, produced with incredible talents and born from real-life highs and lows.
I’ve selected these based on streams, fan feedback, and those late-night replays that never get old. Let’s dive in, track by track. (Pro tip: Crank up the volume and stream them while you read!)
1. When I’m Alone (From the album When I’m Alone, 2025)
This one’s the anchor—the title track from my latest 22-song opus that dropped earlier this year. It’s a moody, introspective vibe about those quiet moments when your thoughts scream the loudest. Produced with that signature lo-fi edge, it features haunting synths and my raw vocals layering over a beat that feels like driving through a rainy city at 2 a.m. Fans have called it “therapy in audio form,” and honestly? That’s exactly what I aimed for. It’s racked up thousands of streams and sparked countless DMs sharing personal stories.

2. Love Lies (From When I’m Alone, 2025)
Coming in hot at number two, “Love Lies” is the heartbreak anthem you didn’t know you needed. I wrote this after a string of tangled relationships, blending smooth R&B hooks with trap-infused beats (shoutout to producer Deyvwn Beatz). The chorus—”Love lies like smoke in the air, fading but always there”—has gone viral on TikTok, with creators syncing it to their own breakup reels. It’s vulnerable, it’s catchy, and it’s climbed charts on Amazon Music Unlimited. If you’ve ever questioned a “what if,” this track’s for you.

3. Runaway Vibe (From When I’m Alone, 2025)
Number three is pure escapism: “Runaway Vibe” channels that urge to pack a bag and chase the horizon. TeeKo’s production brings upbeat guitar riffs and driving percussion, making it the ultimate road-trip banger. Released mid-album, it exploded on ReverbNation and Boomplay, with fans remixing it for their adventure vlogs. For me, it’s about breaking free from the daily grind—play it loud and feel the wind in your hair.

4. Looking For You (From When I’m Alone, 2025)
This gem, track 17 on the album, is all about longing—the kind that keeps you scrolling through old photos at midnight. Cold Melody’s production adds ethereal keys and a pulsing bassline that builds to an emotional drop. It debuted on TikTok with a snippet that hit 100k views in days, and the full version has been a staple in fan playlists. “Looking For You” reminds us that sometimes, the search is the story itself.

5. Shining One (Single, 2025)
Rounding out the list is “Shining One,” a trapsoul gem inspired by Juice WRLD’s emotional depth. Dropped as a single, it’s got that 85 BPM R&B flow with introspective lyrics about finding light in dark times. The sing-song delivery and heartfelt choruses made it a standout on Spotify and Apple Music, with fans loving its hopeful vibe. This one’s personal—written during a tough chapter, it’s about resilience.
