Foggieraw – Boyfriend In Yo Brain (Notice Me) Review: A Pop Reality Check

Foggieraw just dropped the ultimate anthem for the “delusional” era: “Boyfriend In Yo Brain (Notice Me).” If you’re familiar with the DMV rapper, you know he’s basically the king of the “whisper-flow” and effortless charisma. But this new track? It’s a total pivot into a glossy, high-energy pop space that feels like a breath of fresh air.

Why the Song Hits So Hard

Foggieraw has this specific talent for making songs that feel like an inside joke with your best friend. The title says it all—it’s a call-out to everyone who’s more in love with the idea of someone than the actual person.

The production is bright and bouncy, but Foggieraw stays grounded with that laid-back, almost conversational delivery he’s known for. It’s not forced; it’s just smooth. It’s the kind of track you put on when you’re getting ready to go out, feeling yourself, but also needing a slight reality check.

The “Notice Me” Energy

The hook is a total earworm. While the song is technically about a girl having him as a “boyfriend in her brain,” the (Notice Me) subtitle captures that universal feeling of wanting to be seen by the person you’re low-key obsessed with.

What makes this track stand out:

  • The Bassline: It’s got a pulse that’s impossible not to move to.

  • The Humor: Foggieraw doesn’t take himself too seriously, which makes the lyrics actually stick.

  • The Pop Pivot: It’s a bold move away from “lo-fi rap” into something that feels destined for a summer festival stage.

Is Foggieraw Going Mainstream?

While he’s always had a cult following for his unique style and those viral “freestyle in the car” videos, “Boyfriend In Yo Brain” feels like a play for the big leagues. It’s polished, it’s catchy, and it fits perfectly into the current trend of genre-blurring artists like Aminé or GoldLink.

If this is the direction he’s heading, we’re 100% here for it. It’s fun, it’s self-aware, and it’s probably going to be the soundtrack to a million “Get Ready With Me” videos this month.

Stop daydreaming for five minutes and actually go listen to the track. It’s out on all platforms now.
