Ruel drops music video for new track “I DON’T WANNA BE LIKE YOU”


Australian Singer-Songwriter Ruel drops music video for new track “I DON’T WANNA BE LIKE YOU”


Australian singer-songwriter Ruel has released the music video for “I DON’T WANNA BE LIKE YOU,” his new single released under RCA Records/Sony Music Entertainment.


Directed by James Chappell, the visuals find the pop prodigy escaping an army of folks dressed in blue jumpsuits with his getaway vehicle. 


“I DON’T WANNA BE LIKE YOU” is an upbeat alt-pop tune with a breezy chorus that’s worth singing along to, and an indelible groove fit for the summer. The song is part of his debut studio album, 4th WALL, which debuted at No. 3 in Australia and No. 10 in New Zealand upon its release.


Through a journey that spanned over the last three years, Ruel’s long-awaited debut album explores his most personal and stellar musical offerings to date. The 14-track offering features an array of writing collaborators and producers including M-Phazes (Khalid, Noah Cyrus), Sammy Witte (Harry Styles, Halsey), Gabe Simon (Dua Lipa, Maroon 5), Spencer Stewart (Alina Baraz, ROLE MODEL) and artists PJ Harding and Mikky Ekko.


Following his well-received show in Manila last month, the young hitmaker recently announced the North American and European/United Kingdom legs of his headlining “4TH WALL WORLD TOUR” in support of his debut album 4TH WALL. The hugely anticipated tour will see the Australian trailblazer light up stages across the globe in his first world tour in over three years. 


On getting back on tour, Ruel says, "I cannot wait to get back to my fans and play some of my favourite cities in the world and experience brand new ones too. I’ve never looked forward to a tour this much and I’m counting down the days until I can play a bunch of new tracks from the album as well as all my fan favorites."

“I DON’T WANNA BE LIKE YOU” Lyrics

Your smile's like a dark cloud
Can't wait for the fallout
Big joke but the kids don't get it
Big words but it's not poetic
Lost touch tryna save me
No time for it lately
Big sigh but it's so dramatic
It's not like I don't care, don't understand
I'm not gonna get there holding your hand
Temperature is rising watch the sunset
Know I better say this before I forget
I don't wanna be like you (ooh)
I don't wanna be like you (ooh)
I don't wanna be like you (ooh)
I don't wanna be like you (ooh)
I'm trying to be patient
Decipher what you're saying
But I feel like I'm stuck inside of your imagination
Just like this conversation
It's never gonna end
Go- yourself and all of your friends
I don't wanna be like you (ooh)
I don't wanna be like you (ooh)
I don't wanna be like you (ooh)
I don't wanna be like you (ooh)
It's not like I don't care, don't understand
I'm not gonna get there holding your hand
Said I gotta stay and trust the process
Know I better say this before I forget
I don't wanna be like you (ooh)
I don't wanna be like you (ooh)
I don't wanna be like you (ooh)
I don't wanna be like you (ooh)
