“Only Child” is the title track for Sasha Sloan’s debut album of the same name. This track details Sloan’s struggles growing up without siblings, and contemplates what her present might be like if she had someone who would “know how hard it’s been”.
Sloan has since been open about her relationship...
[Verse 1]
If I had a sister, I might be with her
Out at a bar, talking 'bout a broken heart
If she was married, it'd make me happy
I'd be by her side, she'd make a beautiful bride
[Pre-Chorus]
She'd be my built-in best friend
Right around my age
She would know how hard it's been
'Cause we grew up the same way
[Chorus]
People would say we look like each other
Got the same brown eyes as our mother
Someone who's been there bеfore
Caught sneakin' in the samе backdoor
Going back home would be a lot better
When our parents fight, we'd just smile
It gets lonely being an only child
[Verse 2]
If I had a brother, a little bit younger
He might act tough, every time I fell in love
Yeah, he would be taller and help with our father
When we got old, I wouldn't have to do it alone
[Pre-Chorus]
He'd be my built-in best friend
Right around my age
Know he'd be a gentleman
'Cause we grew up the same way
[Chorus]
People would say we look like each other
Got the same brown eyes as our mother
Someone who's been there before
Caught sneakin' in the same backdoor
Going back home would be a lot better
When our parents fight, we'd just smile
It gets lonely being an only child
[Outro]
Hmm, hmm
It gets lonely being an only child

I had this title written down in my phone for ages, but I didn’t know how to write it or what the angle would be. Then one day I was writing with King Henry and Shane McAnally, and Shane said, “Well, it gets lonely being an only child.” The whole song just poured out from there. I remember laying in...
