00:00Like I said, little signs of love, hints of, oh, I might like you, I'm going to give you
00:06everything.
00:07I'm going to buy you a bag, some chrome hearts.
00:08I'm going to buy you a bunch of shit because I'm a trick.
00:13Plane ticket to Japan, that's easy.
00:22We met before that first stream, right?
00:24Somewhere.
00:25I Dab knew you and then he referred me to you.
00:29He was like, I want to do some shit with David.
00:32Also Coachella.
00:33Yeah.
00:34Right?
00:35Yeah.
00:36It's like a full circle moment.
00:37Yeah.
00:38Literally.
00:39Evolution is crazy.
00:40Yeah.
00:41The day we made it, it was super spontaneous.
00:42Jason had hit me.
00:43He was like, bro, you got to come up to do this song.
00:44What was that song called?
00:45Favorite Flower.
00:46Favorite Flower.
00:47I keep talking about Favorite Flower.
00:48He pulled up, shit it out in five minutes and then the whole chat was like, make a summer
00:51song.
00:52Make a summer song.
00:53Then we went on YouTube, typed in David type beat and made the first couple songs.
00:57That came up.
00:58It was quick.
00:59Super quick.
01:00He could really make music.
01:01As soon as I heard the beat, I had the whole hook already made and it was just verses after
01:06that.
01:07I'm pretty sure if you go back into the VOD, you can see him just making the chorus.
01:10Yeah.
01:11As soon as I heard it, it clicked.
01:12As soon as he heard it.
01:13We went to Japan literally last week.
01:26Literally.
01:27Nah, for real.
01:28We did that.
01:29We did that.
01:30We did that.
01:31We did that.
01:32Come to Coachella with me in the B&B with an arcade in it.
01:33That's what the tickets to a good time is for me.
01:35Like, oh, oh, oh.
01:36You got love.
01:37I got some too.
01:38It sounds like, oh, oh, oh.
01:42All I really wanna tell you.
01:45So essentially, when I'm performing my verse, I'm kind of thinking about him and Sakura.
01:49It's like this ongoing inside, if you know, you know, type of thing with him and his community.
01:55So I was like, what could I say that kind of like subliminally hints at, you know, that
02:00Jakura situation.
02:01They're always going on trips and doing streams together and stuff like that.
02:04And she's always by his side.
02:06So I was like, I gotta like point to that in some way.
02:08And the chat already picked it up.
02:09They were like spamming healed in the chat, which is like, when you see them together,
02:13you gotta say you, cause it's healing you seeing them together.
02:15Explained it perfectly.
02:25I say one thing and do another sometimes.
02:30And that's one of my bad traits.
02:32But I'm trying my best to improve every single day.
02:35So, you know, I might tell you, yo, I could do anything for you, but then switch up last
02:39minute and be like, actually, I don't know if I can.
02:52Yup, I'm a lover boy.
02:53A little sign that she might be interested.
02:55I might fall in love.
02:56A little sign.
02:57A small sign.
02:58I might literally go head over heels.
02:59An initial on the nail.
03:01Initial on the nail.
03:03Small signs like memorizing my middle name.
03:06Hmm.
03:07Acts of service.
03:20With the, let me see some part.
03:23It was it.
03:24He wrote that whole thing.
03:25I just stole it.
03:26He's my ghostwriter, y'all.
03:27Yeah.
03:28I feel like the energy we try to encapsulate with the chorus is like a fun vibe, but that
03:29also has like a little bit of meaning to it.
03:30So I was like, we're doing a party.
03:31And then I don't want to let the specific person down.
03:34Cause like through the midst of the chaos and the party, I found this person.
03:37I don't want to let them down.
03:38I don't want to lose what I found.
03:40I don't want to let them down.
03:41I don't want to let them down.
03:42I don't want to lose what I found.
03:43So it's like you didn't expect to find somebody, but you did.
03:44And now you're like attached.
03:45Don't want to let them down.
03:46Yeah.
03:47He snapped.
03:48He snapped.
04:19It's like when you are like in love on a deep level, you kind of like start to idolize
04:27this person.
04:28It's like my love language is acts of service and words of affirmation.
04:31So I like hearing things and being told that I'm doing a good job of what I'm doing.
04:36So I like to think that the person I'm in love with is the only person in the world.
04:40There's only us two on the planet earth.
04:48It's like sticking it out through the good and the bad.
04:56It's like, you might have your rough moments and stuff like that, but it's like, that's
04:59your person.
05:00You a ride or die for them though.
05:01So you got to kind of just stick it out.
05:04There was a part in the stream where JC went to use the bathroom, but I was figuring
05:08out my last verse and I was just freestyling for like five minutes.
05:10They went crazy.
05:11It was great vibes too.
05:13It was all for fun.
05:14I think that's what makes good music is having fun with it.
05:17The best music is made when there's no pressure, just having fun.
