00:00The whole thing flew out like, I had the chords, I had the little like, beep, beep, beep, beep.
00:05Everything was basically already there.
00:06But she was kind of shy with like presenting it to me, which is kind of boop, boop.
00:12Classic.
00:13It wasn't until I played it for you in the car, I was like, okay, wait.
00:16I was like, where have you been hiding this?
00:17It's kind of good.
00:25I think Shy Girl was the first song that I wrote where I was kind of trying to heal the
00:33depression.
00:34I was just talking to myself like, you can be happy and have a good life and it just might
00:41look different than you always thought.
00:43At the time, I was just in my little, in my little studio room being like, it's time to love
00:49yourself, you Shy Girl.
00:51Come on out.
00:52Let me in, it sounds good in there.
00:55And your sister and her boyfriend, they can go and roll their eyes about it.
01:01And your mother and her friends can go to tea and write a book about it.
01:05The undertone of Shy Girl is from like me growing up in a very conservative Christian environment.
01:14Things that came from a really deep, painful place.
01:17But to just kind of put it in this like movie-esque like, oh, you have an older judgmental sister
01:23and her boyfriend and they're both popular and they come home and they're like, ew.
01:28Like a mom's at book club with tea.
01:30Like, oh, my daughter's being crazy.
01:50It's just that moment where like to resist your authentic self is causing you so much pain and like stealing
01:59your life.
02:00You have to give yourself the life you deserve to have.
02:05So that's it.
02:05It's like that knocking on the door that's never going to stop.
02:08I am the one that gets to unleash me.
02:14Shy, shy, shy, shy, shy girl.
02:20When you're gonna run the whole wide world.
02:26I do recall there was madness in your eyes.
02:35Let it come out tonight.
02:42I had recently unearthed videos of me as a child wearing this little pink leotard with feathers.
02:50I'm the only one who knows the choreo at this whatever Christmas school thing was happening.
02:56I'm the only one.
02:57Everyone else is like.
02:58And I'm like, I got this.
03:01Yes, I am doing it right.
03:03And then that person went on to like let so many people affect that confidence and affect their truth.
03:13So shy girl is kind of like what I became.
03:16That was from fear.
03:19And it's like, okay, but that's really not the real you.
03:24The real you is like, I never needed to be afraid.
03:28I love the chorus.
03:29That bass line that we like put in last minute, like it really like popped for me.
03:33So I just, I love it.
03:35Well, the way you walk, the way you talk, they never have to understand it.
03:42Oh, you change your hair, you change your clothes and everybody starts to panic.
03:47You can present what you need to present.
03:50You can do what you, whatever you desire, do it all, do whatever.
03:56And no one has to get it.
03:57It should only be like for your own.
04:02Enjoy, like your own joy.
04:04You can be whatever you want to be, period.
04:06Like when I was listening to the lyrics, I was like, this is really beautiful.
04:08And it kind of began to capture the essence of like the band we were about to become.
04:16It's kind of like our mission statement.
04:18And I was like, it's also a banger.
04:20So that's a plus.
04:24Shy Girl just kind of always keeps like having this new moment this year, at least.
04:30I thought like when Gaga mentioned it, it was going to be like, okay, cool.
04:34And now it's like, we, we, we, we, we, we.
