If you’ve ever scrolled through a feed and wondered how much of what you’re seeing is real, Paul Bartolome’s “Fake Hollywood” is the song you didn’t know you’d been waiting for. From the moment the first note hits, this track doesn’t just knock on the door of the fame-obsessed world – it kicks it wide open.

Right out of the gate, “Fake Hollywood” grabs you with enormous, arena-shaking hooks and a production style that’s as edgy as it is cinematic. Bartolome’s knack for blending melodic aggression with a polished, modern sound is on full display. The energy is relentless, the guitars punch hard, and every beat feels like it was built to rattle stadium rafters. But that’s just the opening act.

It’s the lyrics that really set this song apart. Bartolome isn’t interested in sugarcoating anything—he’s here to peel back the glittery filters and expose the emptiness beneath. “Fake Hollywood” is a brutally honest callout, tearing into the masks people wear and the desperate lengths some will go for a taste of validation. The chorus is pure anthem material: raw, anthemic, and absolutely scream-worthy. It’s the kind of hook that begs for a crowd to shout it back, united in the realization that all that glitters isn’t gold.
