Start Jamming...
I was with my friend Steph Jones and Julian Boneta who produced the song.
We kind of just like were hitting a lot of walls and we were like, you know what?
Let's just literally write nonsense.
No joke.
And that's how the song happened.
[Em] [N] A lot of our justification for lyrics was, well, it's nonsense.
So it doesn't have to make any sense at all.
And we can just have fun.
I just know someone's going to watch this video and be like, lyricism where?
Like what?
And like I promise you there's other songs that have much deeper metaphorical meanings.
But when you like someone, you don't have that.
I could talk for hours and hours on end about a subject that I can't.
Not when you're cute.
Not when you're attractive.
English, don't know it.
Like completely unlearned.
When I feel like a queen, it has nothing to do with anybody [B] else.
[E] It's usually when I'm feeling the most comfortable with myself.
I'm feeling on top of it.
I'm just feeling really inspired and I'm feeling like I'm in control of my life and my destiny.
When people see that value in you [N] and people also treat you at the level that you deserve
to be treated because they also recognize your value and worth, that's a bomb ass feeling.
When I say blah, blah, blee, that is peak lyricism.
It's one of those where you're breaking the fourth wall.
That's such an accurate thing to say.
You really are sort of just making fun of the fact that writing songs can be this very
serious, deep, introspective process.
Or it can also be what rhymes with me, blee.
I jumped the octave because I could.
That was really all there was to it.
We were just having so much fun riffing off of each other.
It's like, ah, it feels like I got a jumping octave.
We literally were doing it in the moment.
We all had to look at each other multiple times throughout making the song.
Is that the stupidest thing or is it genius?
I'm talking nonsense.
I'm talking, I'm talking, I'm talking.
Anything that would make me start talking nonsense is usually someone that I just feel
really excited to get to know.
And I don't know why when I'm around people that I'm not, oh, this is actually going to sound terrible.
But when you're around someone really cute, don't be offended if my personality is at
a two because that just means I really like you.
And if my personality is at a 10, I got some bad news for you, homie.
It's probably not a fairy tale ending.
[E]
I am a huge Rihanna fan.
A big, big, big.
[F] And take a shot every time I mention her in a video because it's getting ridiculous.
But I definitely, wild thoughts obviously is just a great way to sum it up without being too literal.
But then at the same time, it was like for all the fans that know I'm just the dumbest
Rihanna fan, then it's also a little nod to that and that [D] song, which is like an ass
thrower for sure.
I wasn't necessarily listening to my rap gods before it.
But someone had mentioned to me, they were like, yeah, this feels like your rap verse.
I was like, oh, that's so interesting.
I wouldn't classify myself as a rapper.
I'm not coming for anyone's careers.
I had all of these extra outro lyrics that didn't even make the song that I was like,
oh, this would be really fun to kind of put them in live.
[Em] Because I think changing up songs for audiences is always one of my favorite things to do.
They just get excited.
They don't even know what's going on.
They're just like, something's different.
And that's exciting.
[F] During the first show in Atlanta, I had kind of rewritten an outro specifically for Atlanta.
And they loved it.
And I think after that, I was like, well, I can't just do Atlanta.
Otherwise, all the other cities feel like shit.
So I ended up writing outros for every city.
Some very dirty, some very funny, some very tame.
My favorite was Philly because that's my hometown.
And it was,
We kind of just like were hitting a lot of walls and we were like, you know what?
Let's just literally write nonsense.
No joke.
And that's how the song happened.
[Em] [N] A lot of our justification for lyrics was, well, it's nonsense.
