00:00To me, the best way to get back to your ex is success.
00:03I'm not going to fuck somebody for revenge.
00:04It's always like, I need to become your boss now.
00:07I don't know.
00:08You know?
00:09I think it's the most motivating thing ever.
00:11So anytime that something unfortunate happens where you get cheated on or something, it's
00:14always like, now you get to go pop your shit.
00:23The day I wrote this, it was a very long day.
00:25I had been in the studio for like 12 hours, I think.
00:27It was at the end of the night and I had a lot of energy.
00:29I had like two caffeinated Midol and I was just like riveting.
00:33They were playing beats and then they played this one and we made this song in like 15
00:38minutes, I think.
00:39When we played it back, we were like freaking out about it.
00:41Some songs you just get like a feeling after and it was definitely one of those ones.
00:44That was the first thing I said on this whole song when I heard the beat.
01:00It was like the first thing that came out of my mouth.
01:02I'm in Malibu.
01:03I was manifesting.
01:04It feels like retail therapy kind of.
01:07I think that's always a good solution if you're feeling down about something.
01:10Get a new outfit.
01:11Get your hair done.
01:12Get your nails did.
01:13Buy a house maybe.
01:14I liked what opening your hair was challenges and boots and stuff.
01:15So I was just like...
01:17I was learning how you're feeling and I thought was something that did things very have to
01:29help.
01:30What do you think будет your hair done?
01:31I think there's a little hair done.
01:32So I might want to do some в Teret glass creatures like that.
01:33We should hear what hits your hair.
01:34I feel like guys talk about the strip club all the time and it's always like, lit.
01:38And I just, I want to feel that, so I don't know, I think it's going to be great.
01:57Fuck you, I'm having a good time, you know?
01:59Like when somebody pisses you off and it's like, you're not mad, but it's just like,
02:02you're going to go do your thing now.
02:04Like all right, now I'm in the club.
02:08I don't know, I think I've always been a super big believer in getting your lick back.
02:24You always got to get your lick back.
02:25I like to keep things like even, and I think that this song is a big speaker to that.
02:32You almost don't want to give it to them like that.
02:34You don't want to give them that satisfaction, so you're just like, I'm not mad, I just had
02:37to get back at you.
02:38It's up for interpretation.
02:39It's however people feel, you know?
