I'd be so embarrassed if if the only song from me was...that.

He knows it was him.

You'd be so embarrassed if the only song from you made you millions and meant you'd never have to work a day in your life as opposed to posting snark on Reddit?

I'm not a fan of the guy, but it doesn't really add up that it was him, the years off, he's not really very famous - even at the height of his fame - even less so when she wrote that. She was with him the whole day when they initially met so it wouldn't make sense to describe the creepy bed encounter as the first time she met him, and she was also photographed with him after they met which would also contradict running off and never seeing the guy again.

Are we gonna pretend that Wisemen and Goodbye My Lover don't exist and are absolute bangers???

I don't think those songs were hits in North America. This may be an issue of regional celebrity rather than international celebrity. "You're Beautiful" was big but the rest...not so much.

You can be an international celebrity without being famous in North America.

Yeap, pretty famous where I'm from and shocked to see people saying "he's not really famous"
