Slow alternative R&B with a sparse trip-hop pulse, English lyrics and sensual tension between two men. Open with 2 bars of low synth bass and a lingering guitar note, then enter the duet. Use soft kicks, dry rim clicks, sparse hats, sustained bass and dark pads. Ryan has a chest-rich midrange voice with fine grain and teasing diction; Ethan has a darker baritone with soft rasp and rounded vowels. Keep both close and resonant, using restrained breaths, slow slides and phrases behind the beat. Ryan leads verse one; Ethan gives delayed replies and leads verse two. Build a short question-and-answer hook, letting the second voice enter before the first fades. Strip the bridge to bass and voices; add close low harmonies in the final hook. Use short delays and dark reverb tails. Avoid thin falsetto, forced growls, belting, busy percussion, bright pop chords and dense vocal stacks.

Who’s That Song For?
[Intro: 2 Bars, Low Wordless Call and Response]
[Male A: Full Mid-Low Voice, Rounded Chest Resonance]
Ooh, oh—
[Male B: Deep Dark Baritone, Thick Tone and Soft Rasp]
Ooh, oh—
[Verse 1: Male A, Full Mid-Low Chest Voice, Unhurried Teasing, Connected Legato]
You say the boy is made up
The one you’re singing to
But he laughs in all the wrong places
The way you say I do
You lose your place when I lean in
I think I’m getting through
[Male B: Deep Dark Baritone, Soft Rasp, Reply After a Pause]
You ask too many questions
[Male A: Full Mid-Low Chest Voice, Lingering Ending]
Only when it’s you
[Chorus: Two Distinct Chest-Led Male Voices, Intimate Call and Response]
[Male A: Full Mid-Low Voice, Rounded Chest Resonance]
Who’s that song for?
[Male B: Deep Dark Baritone, Thick Tone and Soft Rasp]
Who do you think?
[Male A: Full Mid-Low Voice, Rounded Chest Resonance]
Someone I know?
[Male B: Deep Dark Baritone, Thick Tone and Soft Rasp]
He’s listening
[Male A: Full Mid-Low Voice, Rounded Chest Resonance]
You leave the name out
[Male B: Deep Dark Baritone, Thick Tone and Soft Rasp]
And you sing along
[Male A: Full Mid-Low Voice, Rounded Chest Resonance]
We’re bad at pretending
[Male B: Deep Dark Baritone, Thick Tone and Soft Rasp]
It’s only a song
[Verse 2: Male B, Deep Dark Baritone, Relaxed Behind-the-Beat Legato]
I knew before you asked me
You made it pretty clear
You sang “someone” for everybody
And “you” when I was near
I wrote a better answer
Than the one I gave before
[Male A: Full Mid-Low Chest Voice, Gentle Reply]
So am I going to hear it?
[Male B: Deep Dark Baritone, Quiet Confidence, Lingering Ending]
Let me ask you first
[Chorus: Two Distinct Chest-Led Male Voices, Reversed Call and Response]
[Male B: Deep Dark Baritone, Thick Tone and Soft Rasp]
Who’s that song for?
[Male A: Full Mid-Low Voice, Rounded Chest Resonance]
Who do you think?
[Male B: Deep Dark Baritone, Thick Tone and Soft Rasp]
Someone I know?
[Male A: Full Mid-Low Voice, Rounded Chest Resonance]
He’s listening
[Male B: Deep Dark Baritone, Thick Tone and Soft Rasp]
You leave the name out
[Male A: Full Mid-Low Voice, Rounded Chest Resonance]
And you sing along
[Male B: Deep Dark Baritone, Thick Tone and Soft Rasp]
We’re bad at pretending
[Male A: Full Mid-Low Voice, Rounded Chest Resonance]
It’s only a song
[Bridge: Guitar and Two Close Male Voices, No Drums]
[Male A: Full Mid-Low Chest Voice, Soft but Fully Voiced]
Forget the rhyme
Just tell me who you mean
[Male B: Deep Dark Baritone, Intimate Reply After a Pause]
The boy who keeps on asking
As if he doesn’t know
[Final Chorus: Fuller Arrangement, Chest-Led Male Leads, Overlapping Held Endings]
[Male A: Full Mid-Low Voice, Rounded Chest Resonance]
Who’s that song for?
[Male B: Deep Dark Baritone, Thick Tone and Soft Rasp]
It’s all for you
And what about yours?
[Male A: Full Mid-Low Chest Voice, Sustained Ending]
You know it’s you
[Both Male Voices: Full Mid-Low Lead + Deep Dark Baritone, Close Harmony, Connected Legato]
We put the names in
And sing along
No more pretending
It’s only a song
[Outro: Intimate Low Male Duet, Spacious Phrasing]
[Male A: Full Mid-Low Voice, Rounded Chest Resonance]
So you knew?
[Male B: Deep Dark Baritone, Soft Rasp, Delayed Reply]
I was hoping
[Both Male Voices: Full Mid-Low Lead + Deep Dark Baritone, Soft Chest-Led Harmony]
This one’s for you
