Whimsical yet achingly vulnerable, ‘Ryan John – cool car but i’m the broken one’ is a beautifully poetic conversational pop-rap track that hits on multiple emotional levels. With a lyrical delivery and flow reminiscent of Post Malone, Ryan’s voice instantly pulls you in—playful on the surface, but begging for a closer listen underneath.

Built on a simple, catchy guitar melody and a minimalist rhythmic backdrop, the song captures an effortless, floating quality. There’s a soft, nostalgic undercurrent to the track, flaring occasionally into a shameless melancholy that feels like autumn air brushing across the skin—delicate, cold, and stirring the deep need for warmth.

The track opens with a syncopated beat that feels intimate and restrained, setting the stage for Ryan’s raw, almost conversational singing style. His voice—pleasantly midrange and textured—carries an emotional weariness that’s honest but never overwrought. Each lyric is delivered with a quiet ache, balancing rationality with emotional fragility.

The minimalist bass pulses subtly, adding just enough weight to give the song’s lightness a darker, grounding edge. cool car, but i’m the broken one becomes an introspective reflection on how material possessions—symbolized by the “cool car”—can’t mask internal struggles and emotional wounds.

By blending trap, alt-rock, and emo influences, Ryan John crafts a unique soundscape that’s both modern and timeless. His ability to mix vulnerability with subtle swagger makes this single deeply relatable and immediately memorable.

Ultimately, this feels less like a performance and more like a confession—one that invites listeners to lean in, feel, and remember that even the brightest exteriors can hide broken hearts underneath.
