You Liked This (Okay, Computer!)
2022 single by Will Wood
"You Liked This (Okay, Computer!)" is a song by American musician Will Wood. It appears as the tenth song on his fourth studio album "In case I make it," (2022), released through the Say-10 record label as the fourth single on June 10, 2022. The track is spoken word and features Bev Standing reading buzzwords and phrases prevalent in social media. It is instrumentally backed by dark piano and electronic noise, with its corresponding music video showcasing avant-garde 3D imagery.
Background
In 2021, Will Wood took inspiration from Radiohead's song "Fitter Happier" from the album OK Computer (1997) to create a black comedy dystopian monologue, focused on the capability of artificial intelligence to build user profiles and its technique of manipulating consumers. He then sent this to Bev Standing, whose voice was allegedly non-consensually used as a text-to-speech voice by TikTok until she sued the company in the same year. She accepted Wood's script, reading it multiple times to be edited together. Standing later stated, "It is very thought-provoking and I was thrilled to be asked to be part of the process." In tribute to his inspiration, Wood directly included the song's origin album as part of the title in parentheses.
Following the single "Cicada Days" in May 2022, Wood began teasing the release of the new song on YouTube. With the announcement, he expressed hatred for social media and its ability to "destabilize and manipulate users", worsening the mental health of modern youth.
