00:00When you want somebody and when you can't fight this feeling, it's like Cupid just come
00:05out of nowhere.
00:06Bam, shot you in your butt.
00:14I'm always the girl that you can expect to talk about real life experiences in her music.
00:19I went in with the idea and Johnny Goldstein played me this crazy synth.
00:25It was like, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum.
00:29And there was no drums, no snaps, no nothing, but I'm just hearing it in my head.
00:32I'm like, oh my God, this is what I'm looking for.
00:38I'm about to slide on this mother fucker.
00:42And I jumped on the mic after that, it just came naturally.
00:45The lyrics was just so easy because I already knew what I wanted to say.
00:48Just creating Tell Your Girlfriend, I knew I wanted to make a song that felt like Brandy
01:04and Timbaland and still stuck with me, like who I am.
01:08The first verse was really just like, originally I wouldn't do none of the shit that I'm talking
01:13about in a song.
01:14I just wouldn't.
01:15But I just can't help myself, the heart want what it want.
01:18And initially I wouldn't do this, Hennessy pouring and shit getting fluid.
01:22We was just friends, but then came in Cupid.
01:24The tension was building, we had to pursue it.
01:26Full transparency, I fell in love with somebody real close to me.
01:30When you want somebody and when you can't fight this feeling, it's like Cupid just come
01:36out of nowhere, bam, shot you in your butt.
01:38And now it's like, what am I supposed to do?
01:42I love this person, I want this person, we friends, but I don't want to be your friend
01:46no more.
01:48Tell em, tell em, tell em, tell em, what it's been with us this whole time.
01:53Tell em, tell em, what if I let your girl find out.
01:57Tell em, tell em, what if she was to go tell mine.
02:02Cause I don't want to live a lie, lie, lie.
02:05It's like a whisper, like somebody in the air like, tell em, tell em, tell em, tell
02:09em.
02:10That's how I was envisioning it when I did it.
02:11I have to tell this person and I gotta tell everybody, but like how?
02:18Should tell my boyfriend what I been doing.
02:23Been thinking of you, every time I screw him.
02:27And if you want me, you gotta put the word in.
02:31Go tell your girlfriend that I'm your girlfriend.
02:35At this point in the song, I'm fed up.
02:37I don't want to do this back and forth bullshit no more.
02:41So it's either you going to be here or you going to be there.
02:45If you going to be there, go ahead.
02:47If not, make that statement.
02:49Put the word in.
02:50Tell your girlfriend I'm your girlfriend.
03:00We can keep it low key for right now, but I'm still focusing on me.
03:04So I'ma still do you, but I'ma still do me while I'm doing you.
03:09But I already knew that I had a grip on him, figuratively and literally.
03:17Got you running back to back, came three times.
03:19Now I'm kissing on your neck, that's a sweet spot.
03:21But if we freaking, I need you to say it.
03:23It only take one bitch to start hating.
03:25Honestly, I had this motherfucker coming back, leaving, coming back, leaving, and I was leaving,
03:32coming back.
03:33How could you ever leave me if I'm the only one to keep you coming?
03:36When you dealing with somebody who is trying to keep you a secret, but you not no back
03:40burner ass bitch and I ain't the person that you're going to keep a secret.
03:43All these people, who are you lying to because it's not me.
03:47So at this point, I'm really fed up.
03:49I'm just not going to fuck with you no more.
03:51And I'ma write a hit about it.
03:55We literally went so ham on that ending because we wanted it to have that 2000s feel.
04:01The approach was really just punching all these different melodies and all these different
04:05harmonies over top of what already existed.
04:07And I think my favorite part about that ending is the, maybe we should tell him I'm screwing.
04:13The way that I hear it in my head is just amazing.
04:16When you take the record apart and just understand what went into that ending, it's amazing.
04:23You will love it just as much as I do.
