While scrolling through TikTok, I saw a video of Sarah Gross, a 21-year-old college student in Syracuse, New York, documenting her songwriting process for a new song she was writing starting from the very first spark of inspiration. I followed the videos and was able to watch as a song was created right in front of me.

As someone who has no idea how to write a song, watching Sarah write her song was as informative as it was entertaining. She ended up naming the song “nothing i can do (to replace you)”.

I spoke to Sarah about her songwriting process and a breakdown of her song “nothing i can do (to replace you)”.
