Sarah Brix finds the heartbeat of home in “Who We Used To Be”

Sarah Brix, a Canadian alternative folk-pop artist, starts a new chapter in her career with her latest single, "Who We Used To Be." Brix wrote and produced the song herself. It is an emotional follow-up to her March release, "Still Crave You," and it shows that her storytelling is getting richer.

"Who We Used To Be" is, at its heart, a gentle, thoughtful look back at the people and places that made us who we are. Brix taps into the magic of reconnecting with friends who knew you before life changed. These are the people who remember the early versions of you, even though you've grown beyond them. The song sounds like a confession made late at night, full of the warmth of long-awaited reunions and the bittersweet realisation that much time has passed.

Brix wrote the song about a real event in her life, finally getting to see her best friends again after years of living apart. She was back at a familiar hangout, talking deeply until late at night. Suddenly, she realised how much they had all grown and how rare and important it was that their bond lasted. The song is full of that feeling of lasting connection, which makes it appeal to anyone who has ever moved away, come back, and felt both the same and entirely different.

"Who We Used to Be" also celebrates the strength of friendship and the quiet victory of finding parts of yourself in the people you go back to. The single is a standout moment in Brix's growing catalogue. Its heartfelt message and Brix's unmistakable touch as both writer and producer make it feel both very personal and very relatable.
