‘Left on read’ or ‘blue-ticked’ is a colloquialism that social media users, especially the text-savvy youth, use to describe being ignored. In the context of dating, it’s even dreaded as Nashville-based singer CHLSY implies in a new country/rock record named “On Read”.

Although inspired by her own experience of being ‘ghosted’, this song is a tongue-in-cheek offensive against older men seeking out young girls. CHLSY’s shame-on-you-for-even-thinking-about-it attitude is backed by her sassy delivery, further making “On Read” more fun to listen to.
