00:00there's a quote that maurice white from earth wind and fire says where he says
00:03don't let the lyric get in the way of the groove and that was my entire approach with the song
00:08don't let the lyric get in the way the groove
00:16i wanted to write a song that would just get people to move and something that people can
00:20just forget all of the that they're going through and play it and and be in a car and escape
00:25i sat
00:26down for two minutes and was like every single overthinking thought ever to exist out the door
00:31anything that first came to mind i recorded it and the first thing that came was like
00:34it up and i just ran with that i was like this is so fun let's make this a super
00:42unserious song
00:43and just roll with it i'm feeling quick and sick and i might just wanna uh forget this
01:01i wanted to start it off not in a depressing way but i wanted to start off like acknowledging
01:08why are we seeking freedom and happiness in this moment is because we just want to forget
01:13all this and dip this is the scenario paint the scene this is where we're at we're not feeling
01:17the best but we're ready to move on and i'm ready to forget about it i'm five and ten times
01:22better
01:23than i did that day ah that whole never ever gonna feel that way i'm in the mood due to
01:31misbehave
01:34one shot to the girls and gays one shot to the girls and gays was the first thing that came
01:39out of my
01:39head like the universe was just like must mention the girls and gays and it just like came out of
01:43me
01:43that moment's just like it's the transition of like now we're getting out of that feeling let's kind
01:48of push on out of there and let's get let's get cracking not like that but let's get popping
02:13i'm a huge believer in everything happens for a reason and so therefore i don't have many regrets
02:18but that's always something that i feared about having is like making a mistake like up
02:22but being fearful about fucking up like holds you back from your potential so much also they
02:26push in buttons i think like there's nothing else that pisses me off more than people just funny
02:32because they're the same as me but they piss me off so much and so i was like we need
02:36to acknowledge
02:36the people that piss me off because that's normally what the problem is but then also have no regrets
02:51me like that hey i'm gonna give a right back hey i'm gonna give a right back that but that
02:57but
02:58that right back came really quickly like that and right back like those were the two words i just kept
03:04switching in between and then i realized i was like oh my god right back is an actual slang that
03:10we use
03:11in hawaii at first it was just a slang that i use i didn't even know it was white and
03:15then people were
03:15like by the way like when you're saying this what does that mean and i was like what do you
03:18mean they're
03:18like what does that mean and i was like what's wrong with you i was like this is something i
03:23grew
03:23up with you know right back is a hawaii slang that basically means like get back up and it's something
03:29that we use so much in high school like we use it as a serious way we use in a
03:33joking way but someone
03:34would lose or do a bad point or whatever we'd be like right back right back right back like we
03:39would
03:39say it so much give it right back i sent this song to like four different people that i trust
04:00musically
04:01and all four of them said that part's too long i think you should cut it and in my head
04:05i was like
04:06it just doesn't feel right like it needs that like it needs a moment i wanted a moment where like
04:12i
04:12can be on stage and everyone's chanting and everyone's having fun and so i was like i'm gonna
04:16keep it so to see that part be the one that everyone's resonating with makes sense i'm like yeah i
04:24was
04:35like that shit rebound wait hold up hey what's that sound that's me going pow pow pow when i came
04:41up with this verse i sat down for five minutes and it came right out of me i delivered that
04:49shit in
04:49five seconds i was giggling in my chair for like 10 minutes because i just was like it's so good
04:55like
04:56i ate like it's so good i had like a sabrina moment where i was like intermission but in a
05:00missionary and so i think
05:02there's just like a lot of fun nuances and like i'm really painting a picture in that moment and
05:05it's just so fun to sing i felt like everything just came together
05:10at first it was just a feel good song to me but i started meeting so many fans who would
05:16tell me like
05:16i play this song in the morning to get up for school or like i play this song when i
05:21don't feel
05:21like doing shit that was like wow i'm getting people up in the morning is crazy because i can't even
05:27do
05:27that for myself
05:27you
