A popular theory regarding this song is that pax307 in reality knows the song and made up the details about where he found it. Essentially creating a "staged search", similar to the This One’s Gonna Fly search.
There is overwhelming evidence that the post is a hoax, and that pax307 made up his story of finding the song. The OP's story about finding a fully charged phone in the woods with nothing but the song on it has been viewed as suspicious by many.<ref name=":0">https://www.reddit.com/r/Lostwave/comments/1devf02/just_what_i_want_theorised_to_be_a_hoa/</ref> The mp3 extracted from the phone was simply titled "song.mp3," which is unusual for a song downloaded from Motorola's built-in browser, and the quality is unreasonably low for a phone of that era.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s1Cpkcs7rEE&lc=UgwKQCzUNmxjQ6_ZuF14AaABAg.A54_bH9YXjsA6irJJ0ojwm</ref>


This is mainly because the premise of the search seems rather unrealistic. The premise is that it just so happened to be on this phone, that was left in the woods, and just so happened to have just enough charge to work. More notably though, the screenshot of the phone's SD card that pax307 provided in his follow-up post about the song implies that the song was added to the SD card through a computer, rather than being recorded on the phone itself. If the audio was recorded with the phone itself, it would be in the "my_sounds" or "my_music" folder. However the screenshot shows the audio file being on the root of the SD card instead, which would suggest that the file was transferred to the SD card on a computer.
In his follow-up post, pax307 included a screenshot of the contents of the phone's SD card. The screenshot indicates that the audio file was transferred to the SD card from a computer, as it shows it on the root of the SD card rather than in the "my_sounds" or "my_music" folder. When asked for updates on the song one month after his original post, pax307 claims that his friend misplaced the SD card and is unable to recover the phone's contents.<ref name=":0" />

So Familiar (also known as "Just What I Want") is an unidentified pop-punk song allegedly discovered on a Motorola VE240 in the woods by Reddit user pax307.

Background

On May 10th, 2024, the song was first posted to r/Lostwave by Reddit user pax307, who claims to have found the song on an Motorola VE240 that they found in the woods.[1] They extracted the full song from the phone on May 13th, 2024 and provided the original file allegedly from the phone's SD card.[2][3]

If the story is not a hoax, the earliest that the song could have been created is 2008, when the Motorola VE240 was released.[4]

Theories

Possible Hoax

There is overwhelming evidence that the post is a hoax, and that pax307 made up his story of finding the song. The OP's story about finding a fully charged phone in the woods with nothing but the song on it has been viewed as suspicious by many.[5] The mp3 extracted from the phone was simply titled "song.mp3," which is unusual for a song downloaded from Motorola's built-in browser, and the quality is unreasonably low for a phone of that era.[6]

In his follow-up post, pax307 included a screenshot of the contents of the phone's SD card. The screenshot indicates that the audio file was transferred to the SD card from a computer, as it shows it on the root of the SD card rather than in the "my_sounds" or "my_music" folder. When asked for updates on the song one month after his original post, pax307 claims that his friend misplaced the SD card and is unable to recover the phone's contents.[5]
