When I first got all about the bass cut,
the first ever cut, no coloring, no nothing,
I cried for about two to three hours.
And I thought it was just bass, like you get a rough cut,
but like every video I did, I have cried.
You got, you get a rough edit and then you go in
and you destroy it and edit it yourself.
But I like that, because now I feel like I created that.
And I put those moments in there, those special moments.
♪ Because you know I'm all about that bass ♪
Look at the bow though.
Gosh, [Bm] you know what's crazy?
Sione right there, [E] he was [A] the first person to shoot.
So we were all in hair and makeup and I looked down
and I just see him going off like that.
And I just freaked out.
[D#] I knew [Bm] immediately like, people are gonna love this.
[E] That model girl was like way too [A] attractive for life.
She was so nice.
♪ Right junk in all the right places ♪
♪ [C#m] I see the magazine working at Photoshop [Bm] ♪
♪ And you will come on and make it stop ♪
♪ If you got beauty, beauty, just raise them up [F#m] ♪
After every time we shot this dance part,
no one will [E] ever know, [F#m] but I'll tell you right now,
I was sweating [Bm] and I would fall over just so [E] winded
because I was so out [G#] of shape.
[C#m] ♪ Put it in [G#] the [A] hole, die, die, die, die, die, die, die ♪
That was the first shot for me dancing
at 7 [Bm] a.m. in the morning.
And I was miserable.
[E] But [Bm] we got sassy, [C#m] we did [G#] it.
I [A] had no idea what to expect.
[D]
[A] All I thought in my head was, okay,
[Bm]
even if you don't know what you're doing,
just fake it, fake it till you make it.
Because you got all these people watching you
[A] and all these cameras on you.
♪ I'm all about that bass, about that bass, hey ♪
♪ I'm bringing booty back into the [Bm] city bitches, hey ♪
I did barely a photo shoot before this.
[Em] So like, [E] I had
[A] about almost a week
to rehearse for this video.
And I had like, Charm LaDonna, what's up boo?
[D] She rehearsed with me with her fingers like this
and [E] just saying, this is your camera.
She didn't say, by the way, there's gonna be a [A] huge set
and 70 people watching you and a whole camera crew
and you'll be dolled up [F#m]
and have to [Bm] perform.
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
[E] ♪ That's what you've been doing, go ahead and move [A] it on ♪
♪ Because you know I'm all about that bass, [Bm] about that bass ♪
That dude though, that Ken doll, so attractive.
I was terrified, oh my [A] gosh.
I [G#] was like, [Am] Fatima Robinson, my director,
[A] she made me dance around him.
She was like, all right, now you're just gonna dance
[G#m] in a circle [A] around him.
I was like, really though?
Like, this [D] is embarrassing.
And then right after I did it, I [E] killed it
and I was fixing his tie and then she goes,
all right, now lean in [A] and kiss him.
And I was like, for reals?
And then they all started laughing at me
because obviously that's not what she wanted.
♪ Don't you go, [D] I'm all about that bass, about that bass ♪
[E] Okay, the worst, the most uncomfortable feeling
[A] was laying down on that floor.
It looks really comfortable, but Charm put me in a pose
where I was kind of bent up and [Bm] angling my legs.
So I [D] was in a constant pose [E] the whole time
and I just felt like I couldn't breathe
and like, it was a lot [A] of work.
[N]
The best part of the video day was after I finished,
after they all clapped for me, I started crying,
but I was like, keep it together.
We're still rolling behind the scenes stuff.
Gotta look good.
We went to the bathroom to change
and get out on the whole costume and my mom was with me
and we just looked at each other
and then we just started bawling while crying
and laughing while laughing.
Just like a, just a,
like the weirdest thing that's ever happened to me
and I couldn't even speak to her
and she couldn't even speak.
We were just almost like so proud and exhausted
and like, holy crap,
we got through our first music video ever.
