# Oh, Once Again I Am A Child Oh, Once Again I Am A Child is a line sung by 070 Shake on Kanye West's 2018 track "Ghost Town" that TikTokers started lipsyncing in October 2020 over captions about being infantilized or revisiting childhood trauma[1]. The audio was saved as "i feel kinda freeee" after a September 2020 lipsync post, then split into comedic and confessional directions. By October 19, 2020, over 29,700 videos used the sound on TikTok[2]. ## Origin On September 23, 2020, TikToker @thanksgivlng uploaded a lipsync video of 070 Shake's bridge from "Ghost Town," the Kanye West track released in 2018[1]. The audio from that upload was saved to TikTok's sound library as "i feel kinda freeee" and became the backing track for the format[2]. KYM reports the original lipsync video reached around 149,000 views within a month[2]. - **Platform:** TikTok (viral spread), YouTube (source song) - **Creator:** Unknown - **Date:** 2020 ## Overview Typical posts place the clip of 070 Shake belting "Oh, once again I am a child" from the "Ghost Town" bridge over on-screen text describing a moment of being talked down to or looked after as if younger[1]. One strain of the format plays the setup for comedy, with captions about a sibling babying someone or a parent still handing out an allowance. A second strain uses the same audio under heavier captions about abuse, neglect, or childhood sexual assault, which some creators framed as venting and awareness-raising[2]. Posters typically start the text at the vocal entry and let the line hit as a punchline or a gut-punch depending on register. Some creators warned against romanticizing the song's subject matter once the serious tone began spreading alongside the comedic one[2]. ## Frequently Asked Questions ### What is Oh, Once Again I Am A Child?
