WTF THIS SONG MADE ME FEEL SO SINGLE 😭

I know this is supposed to be wholesome BUT NOW I JUST FEEL EVEN LONELIER AUGH 💀

I'm grinning at my phone 😂. I may be maidenless for Valentines Day but this song is giving me second-hand butterflies.

what happens when a dm goes right: staph it you guysss, this is too cute! may you guys seek comfort in each other forever

We huggin the pillow with this one!! 🗣🗣🗣🗣🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

I'm 20, and I've been single all my life. This song gives me hope that one day, I can find love, too. Hearing yalls story unironicly made me shed a few tears. It's was beautiful.

MY HEART CAN’T TAKE THIS ON VALENTINE’S DAY 😭😭😭

I can't help but comment on this video. My best friend and I met in preschool, and he has been by my side ever since. I love him so much, and he is just literally my life. But things in our country weren't doing too great, so for those reasons, he had to move to another country... I miss him so much. We both love Shayne's covers and songs, especially those Ali and him have done together, since they just don't tell their story, it also tells ours. Hearing these songs really reminds me of him and make me feel closer to him, even when we are really far away. I'm really looking forward to seeing him soon this year, since I'm traveling near his place. Thank you so much, Shayne and Ali, for making these song and "Anyone Else." Those are our favorites ♡

Seeing people having something that I will probably never have is a different kind of pain Glad for yall rho

It's crazy to think about if Shayne never made that tribute song, Ali probably would've never dm'ed him.

We were your fans and till this 2024 14 February HAPPY VALENTINE'S day we'll love and support you too forever! Blessings for this couple ❤🎉

The tension between me and my shotgun is crazy ❤

Ive never felt so single in my life, why must you do this?

Im crying this is the most beautiful love story ive ever heard...😭❤️ very beautiful song..

its like a shoujo manga 😭😭😭 so cute

I’ve never felt more single in my entire life

I've always had the impression that LDRs just wouldn't work but damn..3yrs and still got together. That's amazing.

Thank you Ali and Shayne for this original song!! I teared up while listening to the premiere because me and my boyfriend broke up not long ago, i just feel so touched!! ILOVEYOUGUYSSOMUCH!!

Lyric: If you'd have told me We'd be together Three years ago I'd say you're crazy But then you'd remind me How our story goes How I heard you sing my favorite song And I knew all the words so I sang along And suddenly drafted a message That you'd never see At least that's what I had convinced Myself to believe 'till you DM'd me It was impulsive, it was our secret Our world through a screen But slowly we built it Built it together The life of our dreams Where I'd sing you your sing favorite song And you'd know all the words so you'd sing along And we'd have a house And a dog or maybe three And I'd wonder how you could fall for someone like me After the late-night calls We had from spring to fall Oh, I thank god and my luck from beyond. That you'd ever think to respond Now we sing all our favorite songs And we mean every word when we sing along Oh sometimes I go back and read Your first text to me Innocent, perfect, and unaware of all that we'd be Till you DM'd me Sing along with your partner, cuz I don't have one. Bread 🍞

This got suggested to me this morning, and now you've got this guy in his mid-30s sobbing next to his wife, thanking his lucky stars for the life he enjoys. I love you Alli(my wife).

One word: Beautiful.

This song is too good. Never been more happy for a couple that I've never met before. I hope this is the first of more duets because you two are the perfect duet.

This is the ultimate love song of 2024, guys. Shayne and Ali are pretty much the best couple that everyone wishes they could have... MY NEW FAV SONG 😭💕✨👍

Another meaningful song that gives me butterflies in my stomach. I literally crying right now listening to this 😭. Good luck on your love journey, you two👍.

WE DYING ALONE WITH THIS ONE 🔥🔥🔥🗣🗣🗣💯💯💯

I can’t wait!!! I swear you two are soo wholesome 🥹and that’s the reason why I subbed. You two are amazing and hard working people ever. Both of your singing is so cute and it’s calming and soft!!

I am literally crying rn, it's the most adorable thing I have ever seen! Not just the song is really good but it was wrote with happy memories of how they met and got together, which makes the song even better! Really, I wish lots of happiness for this beautiful couple! 🥹💖💖💖

This just seems like a romance anime relationship to me. It’s so wholesome!

They sound like the calmest people ever

Wow what a beautiful song... Cant believe romance stories still exist in real life.... Amazing guys❤

Just finished listening to the song and you guys are so cute 😭❤❤I feel so single rn but let's hope we'll all find someone like Ali and Shayne too

This is perfect , this shows that not all online relationships will end badly

you two are a raindrop of happiness gently reminding me to look up that these story’s are as well real

I was crying watching this. Both from happiness and sadness. How you guys were together for 3 years and during that time I was going through the same story but then he's no longer here with me. For 2 years I've never been going through a broken heart this bad. So, knowing you guys are still loving each other is so heartwarming. Please continue making more songs together and be happy! You guys are so adorable hahaha. 💝

This is the most heartwarming thing ever. Online love and long distance relationships are always said to be fake but you proved me wrong! You and Ali are the best music duo I have seen in RU-vid!! I really hope you 2 make more duets in the future! This is so breathtaking, im fr crying 😭😭

Hi! So I know this comment might not get any traction, but i felt this video might be a good place to ask for advice. I have a friend who just went back home to Europe and I realize now I have a crush on them. We’re what Im thinking are pretty good friends and we do plan on meeting up again in Europe later on, but besides that they said they didn’t feel comfortable dating anyone and I don’t know what I should do. Shoot my shot? Just tell them? Play the long game and say it in person? Not say it at all? Im pretty stuck so if anyone sees this anything could help so thank you and its very much appreciated :)

this song made me cry. perfect for eachother

I'm going to cry, this is so freaking sweet. I wish y'all all the worlds happiness, and thank you for bringing us such wonderful music ❤

i just listened to it in gym class, and i grabed my friend's jacket screaming how good it was!! you guys are perfect together!

Finally. Something thats actually wholesome, and doesn't make me press alt-F4.

I.. this is almost identical to how me and my Zettsy met, this is perfect.. you two are perfect

I just got for watching the live,Yall voices are beautiful

This is so cute 💖 I’m so happy for the both of you!

So, this just popped up in my recommended 3 weeks after release. I just married the love of my life 3 years and 3 days after we met over a joking and playful DM. We’ve been working on getting our lives updated with records, insurances, etc and I took a moment to go onto RU-vid for a short break and found this. This made us cry many happy tears and it really hit home because it resonates with our life in such a strong way. It’s such a sweet song and we’re happy for you. Thank you so much. Wishing you both the best in your journey. ❤

I don't want to relate but here I'm! It actually started with a casual message is a live stream, and the saga continued. It's about be 3yrs now, can't wait to meet him soon....probably.

The dogs were such a cute touch ❤

To me, this song is made by two pure loving souls. Ngl, if this song plays during the good ending of a romance anime, I would actually cry on the spot. Love when these two lovers duet

These two got me believing in love again 😭😭😭😭😭

top 10 best songs in social media 😢😢😢

man.. this song.. it hits so different.. is it cause im single af.. idk ToT.. too beautiful that it made me cry.. bless you twoooo..

we dying alone with this one😭🔥🔥🔥

It started with a DM for me and my fiance too! We've been long distance for 5 years now, visiting as much as we could afford, and soon finally I'll be moving in. I'm excited to get to see him every day after waiting for so long. ❤

Happy Valentine's Day you two. May both of you stay by each other's side, supportin' one another, and be happy. Me: *bawlin' my eyes out to how beautiful this is* 😭❤❤

I love the “Anyone Else “ song and this was just sweet 😊. You two are amazing and hope you’re having a good Valentine’s Day.

Im sobbing while watching this I love how they sound so angelic specially Ali! there story is just so cute when is mine coming😭

This video genuinely made me cry It’s such a beautiful song I don’t know who you are but I’m really happy for you

Congrats to you both guys for having had a virtual relationship at first until you 2 could live together, that's super rare to happen

Omg, this is way too cute, it should be illegal! I just love how soft and lovely you guys are.

This is the best thing I’ve ever seen, so heartfelt

I love how gentle and positive the song is ❤

50 seconds in and I'm already sobbing😭😭😭Great job Ali and Shayne! This is so cute!😭

The art is so cute, can’t wait!!!!!

BOTH OF YOUR VOICE ARE SO BEAUTIFUL 😊❤ I got goosebumps

Man, these type of stories are one's that make me believe fate exist. Just the fact, that another person's action, An action which they thought was something small, could lead to something bigger than what they could ever imagine. Love, may take a long time to prosper, but all it took to plant the seed was a Direct message with love and kindness poured into it. Wish you guys a long and loving relationship, and to those out there maidenless, Like I am, May we one day found our own fate, I believe in us. -Some random maidenless guy on the internet.

a twinge of wonder and wistfulness encompasses this song

THIS IS SO CUTEE

The visuals are engaging, complemented by a dynamic and well-edited presentation. The content appears to be professionally produced, contributing to an enjoyable viewing experience. The combination of audio and visual elements seems to create a cohesive and entertaining piece.

If this video taught me anything, it's to continue playing songs out loud even though no one's ever interested, because maybe someone will like it, and want to sit next to me and listen. I feel like I have a purpose to continue playing music again, a reason to practice and play it myself rather than just listening to it myself.

THIS IS THE CUTEST THING I'VE EVER SEEN IM CRYING

The song itself is so calming and splendid

I don’t typically listen to any music or videos like this, but this popped up in my recommended and it felt so personal. I’ve been in a long distance relationship for five years as of October 2023, and my girlfriend and I still have really high hopes that we will meet one day. Seeing a story like this just gives me so much hope. Thank you for releasing such a pretty song!

You have no idea how much this made me tear up, you guys did such a good job

i hope yall live the happiest life together

Y’all are too cute! I loved ever second of this masterpiece. It’s amazing because some couples don’t stay faithful to each other for so long, but you guys do and I love itt!!✨💛😭

this is so amazing i cant wait!!!

Lovely song, maked me remember that i need to go wash my toaster.

I said this once before and I'll say it again. This is the most angelic and heartwarming song I have ever listened to. This song is the second song to bring a smile to my face, completely unexpecting it to sound like this. I am glad you made another song with your wife; your voices are beautiful. I wish you both a happy family and a lifetime together.

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!! YOUR GUYS' ORIGINAL SONGS ARE TOO GOOD I AM LITERALLY IN LOVE 🧣✨ 0:00

THIS IS SO GOOD??

After finding out this song was based on a true story I love it even more, well done its a beautiful song and story. Amazing

This made me tear up. I don't have anyone to hug on like that.

Excited!!!

Sheesh🎉 🔥

this song made me tear up on a different level… just listening to this shows how much you guys are made for each other and I can’t help but admiring it. I sorta envy you both. The guy I also met throughout texting turned my life upside down. I never felt something so real and genuine. I thought that this might be the love that I was searching for. Although the distance between us was so big that it made him reconsider a lot of things. I wanted it to work out but we both were to afraid that we might get hurt in the end so now it’s not the same as it was before. Deep down I still believe that it might work out because I can’t seem to get over it and give up on the feeling that was so unbelievably warm and comforting. You both are amazing for keeping the contact and making this relationship work. It’s making me believe that it’s worth to hold onto something even tho it might seem like it’s out of my reach. I felt like sharing this here along side the other stories in the comment section. Keep up the good work guys❣️ One of the most adorable and talented couples out there. I hope everything works out for you both🫶

Great its 3am now this masterpiece suddenly pop out of nowhere now im here crying asking my existance this is just....... a masterpiece i could never forget

They created a masterpiece ❤

I love this song so much it’s adorable, I’ve been supporting you guys for a year now and you both are so adorable, my heart melted to the song “Anyone else” it’s one of the most sweetest song I’ve ever heard. I only wish you both happiness and prosperity for you two.

This…. Brings back a bit of my faith in love. It’s not much…. But you have brought a fraction of it back…. Thank you

The two of you have a love story just like a manga. I pray for the two of you to continue living happily together forever. I have adored your music for a while and hope you keep making more! (I wanna have a relationship like the two of you, not likely to happen but I’m praying)

This song deserves so much more likes, it's so beautiful 🥺

I’m in the middle of a rehearsal and I’m waiting so I decided to watch this instead of waiting until after. I’m trying not to cry right now this is so beautiful. You guys are so cute (and honestly I’m trying to also not be jealous since I’ve never been in a relationship). I’m adding this to my playlist right now 🤍🤍🤍🤍

I'VE BEEN SEARCHING FOR THIS VIDEO FOR MONTHS, I FINALLY FOUND IT

This is the most peaceful and relaxing song I’ve ever listened too it’s so nice to replay.

you guys are so cute when singing together🥰

omgggg this is too similar to when my fiancé and I first met too 😭 I adore and love this song so much! happy valentine's day to you both, shayne and ali!

This song has so much emotion, I nearly started to cry. The story on how you two met is amazing ^^

I feel shot through the heart, this is not okay. This is maybe the cutest thing I've seen in my life
