Through the story of online violence, public exposure and anonymity on social media networks, the third single from the upcoming album sends a strong message about courage, resistance and empowerment of all those who have been the target of abuse.
After the successful singles "End the Party" and "Sedated", Baby Lasagna presents "Face On Your Phone", the third single from the upcoming album that will bring his fiercest and most modern sound. Although he conquered the audience with the hit "Rim Tim Tagi Dim", the new material brings a stronger step towards modern metal, with a recognizable combination of infectious melodies and energy that made Baby Lasagna recognizable.
The performer himself describes the new sound as metal, which can attract audiences who normally don't listen to that genre. He finds inspiration in modern bands like Bring Me the Horizon, but at the same time maintains his own musical identity, which is why the new album represents a natural continuation of his development so far.
Thematically, "Face On Your Phone" deals with online violence, public exposure and the feeling of anonymity that gives many the impression that they can say whatever they want behind a screen without consequences. Although inspired by the experience of living in public, the song is not exclusively autobiographical. It brings a universal message about a world in which almost all of us today live part of our lives in front of others and are exposed to comments, criticism and misjudgments on a daily basis.

The song is written from the perspective of a person experiencing online violence, but instead of remaining in the role of a victim, he takes a defiant and combative stance towards the bullies. Its message is not aimed at pity, but at empowering everyone who has ever been the target of insults, ridicule or hate speech.
"I've been living under the public spotlight for the past two and a half years. It's brought me a lot of wonderful things that have changed my life, but also a lot of negative comments and messages. When this kind of behavior is repeated day after day, it almost turns into collective bullying. It reminded me of my own experiences with peer bullying from my school days. I didn't want to write a song that would leave people in the role of victims. I wanted to give strength to everyone who goes through such experiences. 'Face On Your Phone' is a fight song that calls for fighting back against those who hide behind the screen," says Baby Lasagna.
With modern production, energetic riffs and a strong message, "Face On Your Phone" represents one of his most personal and direct releases to date and also hints at the sound of the upcoming album, which will take the audience in an even fiercer musical direction.
