"I Wasted 20s" is the lead single from The Last Person's debut album, Record of Inner Conflict.
This song reflects on a decade of hesitation and creative silence. It was born from a quiet frustration and the sudden urge to pick up the guitar again in his late twenties. The melody and lyrics came together in about 30 minutes, capturing the raw emotions of regret and determination to move forward.
With a gritty and emotional band-style sound, and lyrics that speak honestly and directly, the track shows The Last Person's DIY spirit. Everything from songwriting to recording, mixing, and mastering was done entirely by himself.
As the first track of the album, this song introduces the listener to the core theme of inner struggle and opens the door to the personal world of The Last Person.
The Last Person is a Tokyo-based DIY solo artist whose name means "the person least likely to." He handles the entire production process on his own, from songwriting, performance, and mixing to mastering and artwork. After releasing his debut album, Record of Inner Conflict, which documented over a decade of personal struggles, he began his next phase of activity by revisiting a demo he wrote at age 20. This resulted in "The Last Person's Theme," a song serving as his personal theme, completed in a way that feels like a collaboration across time. His sound is centered on alternative rock, incorporating elements that range from the floating textures of shoegaze to the raw impulse of garage rock. Because he controls the entire production process, he is also able to undertake unique experiments, such as releases that explore the acoustics of the streaming age.
