00:00That's not me, Espresso, I'm a homewrecker, I'm a s**t.
00:03Ugh, not my favorite.
00:13And I got this one boy, and he won't stop calling.
00:16I saw something online that said, someone thought that line was,
00:19and I got this femme boy, and he won't stop calling.
00:22It's so funny, I need to enunciate better, but I'm glad you guys, it is one boy.
00:28I got this one boy, and he won't stop calling.
00:30But this is from Espresso.
00:34And I got this femme boy, and he won't stop calling.
00:38Based off of experience, if I'm not picking up after three calls,
00:43take a five, Kit Kat break, you know what I mean?
00:46Like, that's just too much.
00:47But also, if I'm calling you, I can call as many times as I want.
00:51I love the memes.
00:53The memes are probably my favorite part about this song that I've seen so far.
00:57That's that me, Espresso.
01:02Well, saying it out loud just sounds stupid, guys.
01:05Like, when I sing it, it's cool.
01:09Your signals are mixed, you act like a b**ch.
01:14This is from Feather.
01:19I really wanted to put this line in a song,
01:21so I initially had a whole other song based around this line.
01:24And then it didn't make the album, so I put it into Feather.
01:28It fits so well.
01:29It's a very, very therapeutic line to scream at the top of your lungs.
01:34Okay, let's see.
01:43This is from Nonsense.
01:45You know what I realized in hindsight two years later that I don't like about this lyric?
01:57I say pop twice.
01:59Not my favorite.
02:00Didn't catch it until way after the fact.
02:03I was like, ugh.
02:04But, you know, no one else has really commented on it.
02:07Now I'm bringing it to your attention, so I shouldn't have done that.
02:11But this is from Nonsense, and this is a very unserious song from start to finish.
02:15So this was one of the lines in the outro,
02:18which is very infamous for being nonsensical.
02:35It really, truly is for the crowd in front of me,
02:37and somehow it always ends up on the internet.
02:41But I think my number one will always probably be either Glasgow or Dublin.
02:47Because in Glasgow, I said, I recycle baby, where's the Glasgow?
02:54It's like so stupid, but it made me happy.
02:57And then the other one was, when I turn him on, that dick is Dublin.
03:03Yeah, I saw you laugh.
03:04Yeah.
03:07That's my name.
03:08Don't wear it out, though.
03:09This is from Sue Me.
03:14You know, I really give this song a lot of credit for being
03:18one of the first songs that I felt like I just was super autobiographical
03:23and didn't really care about if this was like a relatable concept.
03:27Because I was getting sued at the time, and I was so young.
03:30And I kind of equated it to the feelings of a breakup
03:34and how it feels like when, you know, they want what they can't have anymore.
03:37Your name is always on their tongue, no matter what.
03:39So I really like that song.
03:41I really like that line.
03:42And my fans have been very loyal because of that song.
03:45I have so many memories on set with Joey of that music video.
03:49I think the most important is like,
03:51she just is such a light and such a breath of fresh air.
03:55And she was making everyone laugh.
03:57I was like stressed out of my mind, making sure we had the music video done.
04:00And she's just like cracking jokes, keeping everything light.
04:02Like everybody was laughing because she was there.
04:04And I think that's the most incredible thing about having friends in a video.
04:08I've tried to do it as many times as I can in my life
04:10because it makes the shoot so much more fun.
04:12So yeah, very grateful to her for that.
04:14Alrighty.
04:16Oh, wow.
04:16Reading my lyrics on a piece of paper.
04:19I think of them differently.
04:21Now I'm a homewrecker. I'm a slut.
04:23Facts.
04:24I got death threats filling up semi trucks.
04:26Also facts.
04:26That one is because I liked a boy.
04:28Now I'm a homewrecker. I'm a slut.
04:32I got death threats filling up semi trucks.
04:36This song was a big full circle in my life.
04:38It was just, I was really able to kind of grasp a situation
04:42and kind of put it down and in general, just like feelings and inner thoughts.
04:46Like it was a really, really therapeutic song for me.
04:49And even more so being on tour, like the funniest shit,
04:54funniest things ever is listening to a crowd scream.
04:58I'm a homewrecker. I'm a slut.
05:04Okay. I'm getting scared the more we do it.
05:08Oh, okay.
05:09You got a robber and a bank and the bank robbed the people.
05:13So the people robbed the bank.
05:16I was 16 when I put that out, to be fair.
05:20Yeah, this is from Thumbs.
05:24You got a robber and a bank and the bank robbed the people.
05:28So the people robbed the bank.
05:30Everyone knows I love this song.
05:31You know what's funny? It is a great song,
05:34which I think my fans will be shocked to hear those words come out of my mouth.
05:36Because I'm infamously known for just kind of trying to shove this one under the rug.
05:41Only because I was so young when I put it out.
05:44And yeah, but when I look back on the song and putting it out at that age,
05:47I think it's a really, really cool, different,
05:51just in general statement and message in a song.
05:54And yeah, I mean, it's out there.
05:56Can't take it back.
05:58So I've got a lot of dedicated Thumbs stans.
06:01I'm just not one.
06:03Okay.
06:04Oh, throwback.
06:05I knew this one was coming.
06:07Everybody loves to tell me I was born an old soul.
06:10This was from my very, very first album when I was too young to know what an album was
06:16or should be.
06:17Eyes Wide Open.
06:18And it's from the song Eyes Wide Open.
06:24It's the very first line of the song.
06:27And I think that's why I resonated with it so much.
06:29That was something growing up that a lot of people told me and my mom always told me.
06:33Just in general, being able to kind of interact with adults from such a young age
06:38and being in working environments, being around so many adults.
06:42My mom was like, I don't know where that came from.
06:45When kids know things or say things that their parents are like, I didn't teach you that.
06:49So you obviously, there's something possessing you.
06:51That's why I loved that line and it really resonated with me.
06:54One of the lyrics in that song mentions my grandfather.
07:02I think it's a special ode to my granddads that have passed
07:07and then also my grandfather that's still alive.
07:10Okay.
07:13Let me discover all of your colors.
07:15If you love me, let me know.
07:17This is from Alien, which was a song that I did with Jonas Blue.
07:29I loved this song.
07:30When I made this song, I was just like, it was on repeat.
07:33I loved it so much.
07:34And it was really when I was just dealing with someone that I was so like,
07:38do you like me?
07:40Just tell me, please.
07:41You know, when you get into your wits end and you're just like,
07:43at this point, I either want to never speak to you and never know you
07:46or you need to confess your love to me.
07:48So that's where that lyric came from.
07:51I mean, I think my fans know I really, really love exploring genre.
07:54I always have.
07:55Within pop, I think pop is so many different things,
07:58which is why I don't feel really tied down to anything.
08:01And I try not to kind of predict how I'm going to feel in a year
08:04because right now I'm, you know, that's that me espresso,
08:07but then maybe next year it'll be a different kind of espresso.
08:17Um, don't just stand there staring, honey.
08:21Try to move your feet.
08:23Definitely was in my like, let's make a dance song era here.
08:27This was called Looking At Me.
08:28This was from Singular Act 2.
08:35For whatever reason, it took us so, so, so long.
08:39And then once I went into the booth and freestyled,
08:42like the whole line, they're not even looking at you.
08:44They're looking at me.
08:45Happened like word vomit.
08:47So I think from then on, I was just like,
08:49oh, this is like a really, really like, you know, confident record.
08:54And there's really no excuses for it.
08:56It's just the way that I feel when I dance to Rihanna or Beyonce.
09:00I love Rosalia.
09:01Love Rosalia so much.
09:03Carol G is great.
09:05And honestly, I think what's so special is like,
09:08every time I see them live, I'm just re-inspired.
09:11They give such great live performances.
09:13Taylor's Latin American fans were like out of this world,
09:17dedicated, loving, passionate.
09:19I mean, that was just some like chapter of my life
09:22that I truly, truly will never forget.
09:24I've never felt so welcomed before.
09:26And they made so many bracelets and sang so loud.
09:30And I remember getting off stage being like,
09:32my ears hurt physically, pain.
09:35So that was really special.
09:43All right.
09:48I knew this shit was coming.
09:50Cause I'm young and I'm dumb.
09:52I do stupid things when it comes to love.
09:55This is from Can't Blame a Girl for Trying.
10:05My very, very first song.
10:07Put this out when I was 14.
10:09It's been a minute.
10:10And what's crazy is I'm literally still young and dumb
10:12and do stupid things when it comes to love.
10:14So, so much for growth.
10:16But yeah, this was a, like I've said this before,
10:20but it's so interesting now being on tour,
10:22realizing how much that song meant to,
10:25you know, my fans at that age.
10:27And now I guess it's like a very nostalgic song,
10:29which makes me feel kind of old,
10:31which is weird because I'm super young.
10:33But yeah, that song is very special for that reason.
10:35And with my fans, it feels like a nice bonding moment.
10:38You know, what's interesting is before that,
10:40I was literally just 12.
10:42So the only difference was I was like,
10:44maybe this is where people start to take me seriously
10:47as a songwriter, as a voice in a room.
10:50And even then, obviously it was,
10:52it took quite a few more years before
10:55I kind of felt like I really could steer the ship.
10:59And I just think at that time,
11:01I was so excited to just start writing
11:04and put everything out.
11:05There wasn't any shift other than the fact
11:07that I was mostly like on YouTube
11:09covering other people's songs
11:11versus going like,
11:12no, I really want to put my own out there into the world.
11:19Thanks guys.
11:20That wasn't too traumatic at all.
11:21That was really nice.
11:22You guys picked a great one.
