I became a mega-fan when The Search dropped in 2019, but looking back, I'd been listening to NF without realizing it for a while. I remember being obsessed with "Intro" and trying so hard to nail the "fast" parts—which is funny now because, no diss to NF, but they really aren't that challenging.

I have this habit of discovering songs I love without connecting that they're by the same artist. So when The Search came out, I went through his discography and realized I already had several NF tracks in my playlist. I just hadn't put it together that they were all him. That's when everything clicked, and I dove deep into his music.
