In 2009 Kings of Leon were virtually inescapable. The group’s fourth album Only By The Night established the Nashville four piece as a household name. But to their longtime fans, the band had sold out and left behind their southern rock sound. Kings of Leon fourth album and the success that came along with it, soon revealed cracks in the band that showed up during their live performances and those problems would follow them well into their fifth album.

The history of Kings of Leon begins with the three Followill brothers -
- Caleb (guitar), Nathan (drums), and Jared (bass) The brothers would grow up in a religious household with a father who was an evangelist who travelled across America preaching at Pentecostal churches and tent revivals. It would be kind of funny that his father, before becoming a minister was an avid fan of groups like Led Zeppelin, Bad Company and Thin Lizzy. But by the time he had his sons, he found God and was now listening to oldies, which was really the only music his kids were allowed to listen to ‘The Ronnettes and The Beach Boys). But it would be Jared who’d recall to New Musical Express it was when he heard Pixies record Surfer Rosa from a friend in Spanish class that it had a profound impact on him.

Inspired by a stranger’s story about how he made $500 bucks writing what he described as country songs, Caleb and Nathan who were already contemplating becoming musicians and this gave me the nudge they needed.. They thought, hey we can do the same. Their parents would divorce in 1997 and by 1999 the Caleb and Nathan would move to Nashville. They would meet a big time manager Ken Levitan whose clients included Lynyrd Kynyrd and Emmy Lou Harris.. Soon enough the brothers were in New York being courted by major record labels & They would sign with RCA, signed by the same A&R man that signed the Strokes. Caleb and Nathan were soon sent back to Nashville with a record deal and told to assemble a band. They soon added younger brother Jared to play bass in the band. It was now 2001 and soon enough their first cousin cousin matthew who was also a guitarist would join them rounding out their lineup. Soon enough they were living a hard partying lifestyle their father preached against.

Kings of Leon’s initial sound was more southern rock.. Between 2003 and 2007 the band would release three albums that soon established Kings of Leon as a cult band with their third record Because of the Times being the bridge between their southern rock sound and where they were headed. . Despite being from America, the first country to really embrace them was the UK. Their third album would top the UK Charts with Caleb telling BBC6 at the time "We're just making music for ourselves and luckily people are with us. Especially you guys,". "You guys (the British public) have always been with us and the fact that we've made a record that's a little different and a little riskier, and it got to number one here, that's the best thing. We feel like it's going to be bigger everywhere else than the others have, so as long as you guys stick with us and keep us afloat, we'll be happy." The band soon ditched their retro looks taking on a more polished appearance.

The band would talk to Rolling Stone in 2013 and discuss how they felt fake during their early years together with guitarist Matthew telling Rolling stone . “We used to grow our hair out really long, wear tight clothes – we were being kind of fake back then,” with Jared adding about their newly polished look. “Now we’re just normal and comfortable with ourselve“God, I hate it. And I can barely listen to our first and second records. It’s very cringe-worthy for me. To me, Because of the Times is like our first record. We were finally being ourselves.”

The following year the band would release their breakout record 2008’s Only By The Night which would make the group a household name thanks to the inescapable hits Sex on Fire and use Somebody. Kings of Leon were soon criticized by fellow musicians with Jim James of My Morning Jacket commenting on the band’s new success “I don’t want to write about my sex parts being on fire just to

You can’t really talk about the band Journey without mentioning frontman Steve Perry. He led the band to massive success in the 80’s, then quit, and then returned in the 90’s until finally saying goodbye to the band and becoming a recluse for almost 2 decades So what happened when he returned to the band and why did he leave again? That’s what we’re going to explore in today’s video.
Journey was massive in the 80’s. They seemed to release an album almost every year, had numerous hit singles, and even had their own video game released, which was a pretty big feat back then considering this was decades before guitar hero released standalone band games. That’s not to say the game was very good, in fact it wasn’t. I’ve done a video on that video game, the link is down below.
Perry would lead Journey during the group’s most commercially successful periods from 1977 to 1987, and again from 1995 to 1998. In between his stints with the band he also launched a successful solo career, but also became reclusive for almost 2 decades before finally returning to music just a few years ago.
Steve Perry was the son of Portguese parents in California and his dad being a vocalist and cowner of a radio station KNGS. Following his parents ending their relationship, he grew up on his grandparents farm with his mother. The defining moment for his life would be at age 12 when he heard the Sam Cooke song “cupid” and it was that moment that inspired him to begin a career in music.

In his early 20’s Perry moved around California playing in different bands. The moment that really changed his life was when he received a phone call from Journey’s manager who had been given a tape of one of Perry’s previous bands and was impressed with the singer’s voice. Journey at this point in time was more progressive in their sound and was fronted by Robert Fleishman. Fleishman didn’t prove to be a good fit for the band and didn’t get along with the group’s manager. The bands manager Herbie Herbert thought that he was cocky and believed Perry would be a great replacement. That’s not to say Fleishman wasn’t important to to the band , in fact he co-wrote one of the band biggest hits “Wheel in the Sky”

Surprisingly Perry would tour with the band while Fleishman was still fronting the band, but to avoid arousing any suspicion Fleishman was told he was a roadie’s portugese cousin. Then during a sound check ahead of a gig in Long Beach, California, Perry sang with the band on stage while Fleishcman was off stage. Fleischman was informed shortly afterwards that Perry was the new singer and he was out of the band.
Perry brought a much more pop influenced sound to the group and the addition of the singer alienated the group’s long time fans of their progressive sound. Not that it really mattered though considering Perry appeared to be the missing piece to the band needed to reach a new level of success. Following the addition of Perry, the band would go on to dominate the 80’s rock scene with hit album after hit album. After the group’s 1983 album Frontiers they would some time offer before
reassembling in 1985 to work on their follow up record Raised on Radio. It was during the sessions the wheels came off as Perry’s mother had fallen ill, making the singer unavailable for large periods of time as he was attending to his ill parent. His mother would pass away during this time and the band would manage to finish the album and Raised on Radio would be the group’s final record with Perry for the decade. Further adding to Perry’s emotional state was that him and his girlfriend had broken up. Journey toured to support the album, but by the partway through the promotional tour Perry told the band he was done as he was mentally exhausted from the whole ordeal and the band disbanded in 1987. Perry would barely be on speaking terms with his bandmates.
Following his departure from the group Perry in 1988 began recording his second solo album Against the Wall, which would be temporarily shelved. According to Perry he didn’t have the passion to continue to work on new music at the time and between 1988 and 1994 he largely kept out of the spotlight for the most part making one off appearances

Born in a suburb of Buffalo, New York, Kristen Pfaff would go to catholic school where she learned cello and piano at a young age. Her parents would divorce when she was young, but her mother would remarry and she would have a younger half brother. School mates of Pfaff who attended the same catholic school as her described her to the buffalo news as and i quote “bright, happy, always peppy," Not only that but she excelled in school achieving good grades and getting scholarships.

She would attend Boston College and do an exchange program in the Netherlands. It was ffter from returning overseas she would study English and literature at the university of Minnesota starting in 1988. It was while she was a student at the University of Minnesota, she was an important figure in the development of the University radio station called Radio K. There’s even a clip of her on YouTube hosting a show if you guys are interested.
Her father would tell the buffalo news "That's when Kristen's life really changed. She learned to play bass and wanted to be in a band."

She soon quit school and took up bass and started playing in a 3 piece called Janitor Joe that was part of the Minneapolis music scene.

Janitor Joe played angst ridden and loud music and that caught the attention of local indie label AmRep who signed the band and put out their debut record Big Metal Birds in 1992. It was while on tour with Janitor Joe that Hole guitarist Eric Erlandson attended one of their gigs. At this point in time Hole was without a bassist and needed one for their upcoming European Tour in 1993. Erlandson would tell Spin Magazine “I found Kristen in L.A. and said, “Come with me to meet Courtney [Love] and Patty [Schemel] when you get to Seattle.” She joined the band, she moved to Seattle, and that’s when all the songs came to life, literally. She was the star of her band and so she was bringing that to Hole and that created sparks in everybody; we all saw an even greater potential than before. Patty Schemel (pronounced at 0:20 mark here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gTdVsAnNLyg) would add to Spin “Her playing was heavy, and she was knowledgeable, and she had command of her instrument. When she played, that was it: We knew.”
It was during that European tour that the band debuted material that was going to make their next record and the response was overwhelmingly positive. Sean Slade who worked on Hole’s second record Live Through This as an engineer and producer would recall to spin how once he heard the demos from the band he noticed that with the addition of Pfaff the band sounded more musical. The band would travel to Atlanta in October of 1993 to record the album.

Jim Merlis, a rep from Geffen Records, the band’s label would tell the buffalo news “"Kristen was really excited about making a record with Hole. She was so enthusiastic. She couldn't wait to start touring."
It was during the recording sessions for live through this that Erlandson and Pfaff were involved in a romantic relationship. In the book It was also speculated that peer pressure from her bandmates and friends in seattle led her to start using heroin.
Schemel would tell Spin: Kristen became Eric’s girlfriend, so they were tight. … Then there was me and my addiction with alcohol and drugs. Kristen and I would get together, and we were always trying to keep the amount of drugs we were doing secret. “Don’t tell Eric.” There were so many secrets. We were all frustrated, and we all had a lot of downtime. And so to deal with that, there was a lot of “hanging out.” I was frustrated. I wanted to play. I wanted to record. Erlandson would add in the same interview that during the making of the album he and Pfafff had broken up and there was noticable tension while recording the album
But it wasn’t just Erlandson and Pfaff who had tension between them as the bassist started to butt heads with frontwoman Courtney Love. Pfaff while new to the band was outspoken about musical ideas and that apparently rubbed Courtney Love the wrong way. Another factor contributing to Love’s resentment towards Pfaff at least according to the book Love and Death the murder of Kurt Cobain, was that the bassist had

It was in the spring of 1992 STP would relocate to the san fernando valley with producer Brendan o’ brien who had already worked with the black crowes, chili peppers and pearl jam. Drummer Eric Kretz would recall the energy the band brought to the recording of their debut record telling Songfacts
There was enthusiasm and excitement and everyone was in the room and participating creatively, artistically,"It's the most fun time to be in a band when everyone has the same ideas and everyone has the same goals. Core would be recorded in just three weeks.
Once the band was about to submit the album to their label, they soon discovered an old Chicago blues musician already had the name mighty joe young. The musician had been putting out albums since the 70’s on a local indie label, went on hiatus and decided to come back. So the band, had to come up with a new name.. It would be a car lubricant called STP Oil Treatment that inspired Mighty Joe Young’s new name. Weiland had a fascination with it since he was a kid.. Scott suggested the band come up with a new name using the letters STP. One early name they had was Shirley Temple’s Private (they had a more lude term for the letter P than what I’m saying, but i’ll leave it to your imagineation). They eventually went with Stone Temple Pilots.
Core would be released in September of 1992, during the peak of the grunge movement. The album’s first single Sex Type Thing, was a massive hit on MTV, first landing on the network’s buzz bin program, which featured up and coming bands and songs. It soon was played amongst groups like Alice in Chains, Pearl Jam, and Nirvana. The song, while embraced by MTV, got a good amount of attention on alternative radio peaking at number 23, but modern rock radio didn’t really embrace it. Dean would admit the riff for sex type thing was inspired by the Led Zeppelin tune in the light. The song garnered a lot of controversy, While the band were adamant in the press that they were pro-women, the media took one look at the lyrics and made up their own minds. If you read any press interview with the band during the promotion for Core, Sex Type THing’s meaning comes up again and again. For Scott, the irony of the song was lost on everyone. Here’s the frontman explaining to mtv what the lyrics were about.
It would be the album’s second single, Plush that catapulted Stone Temple Pilots into the stratosphere. Plush topped the mainstream rock chart and alo appeared on the pop charts peaking at number 18. Any of you guys remember the Grand Theft Auto San Andreas radio station radio X? The song was written by Robert in 1989 with him telling Rolling Stone “And when I played it for Scott,”, “he didn’t like it. He said, ‘It sounds too much like Boston.'” Kind of funny, considering the song was often compared to sounding like a pearl jam song. Even at live shows, Scott jokingly introduced the song to audiences as being a song Pearl Jam wrote for them.
Plush’s popularity only increased when the band performed an acoustic version for MTV’s Headbangers Ball program. That performance almost never happened because of a feud between MTV and STP. I’ll talk a little later about that. Plush’s lyrics were loosely inspired by a story the members read about a young woman from San Diego who went missing and was later discovered to be have been murdered. Scott would also reveal on VH1’s story tellers that the song’s lyrics deal with a lost obsessive relationship.
One of my personal favourites off the album, would be the third single Wicked Garden, would peak at number 11 on the mainstream rock chart. And the album’s final single the melancholy tune Creep would peak at number 2 on the charts and would deal with alienation. I always remember the movie Black Hawk Down when Grimes finds out he is about to head out on the now infamous Oct 3rd raid. There were even a few songs including Dead and Bloated and Crackerman that were released as promotional singles, but they enver. However, b I still hear them on radio to this day and they are one of the band’s more popular son

But even some of the female artists who’d later become part of Lilith Fair would have to be convinced of its value. What’s funny is that Lilith Fair was not the first women’s music festival as the folky Michigan Womyn’s Festival — had already been going on for 2 decades, until it called it a day in 2015. Sheryl Crow would tell vanity fair in 2019

I remember talking to my agent about touring with another female, and the response was, “You don’t want to do that because it won’t sell tickets.”. But by the 90’s things had changed from a decade prior and either managers or record labels weren’t paying as close of attention as they should have. According to the LA Times women for the first time became the biggest purchasers of music--going from 43% in 1988 to 51.4% by 1997.

The full-fledged version of Lilith Fair kicked off in 1997 with 30 plus stops across North America with 60 plus artists. Regarding the name, it came from a biblical character, Adam’s wife who refused his orders to leave Eden. McLaughlin produced the festival in conjunction with Nettwerk Music Group's Dan Fraser and Terry McBride, and New York talent agent Marty Diamond.

It helped that Sarah had a huge album that year as well - 1997’s grammy award winning Surfacing - which featured the popular songs like “Angel” about the overdose of the Smashing Pumpkins touring keyboardist Jonathan Melvoin and “building a mystery.”

The album sold 16 million copies worldwide and offered the perfect publicity to help bring some buzz to her new festival The 1997 incarnation of Lilith Phair was the top grossing touring festival of the year, outpacing lollapalooza. By the end of the decade it became the top grossing festival of the late 1990s.

Over the three years of the festival, there’d be 135 shows in cities mostly in the U.S. but along with a few dates in Canada as well. Featuring well known acts like Jewel, Sheryl Crowd, Liz Phair, Fiona Apple Paula Cole, Lisa Loeb, Jewel and Sheryl Crow.

The festival featured 3 stages - the Main Stage, Second Stage and Village Stage. The Village stage was for up and coming talent. Two artists that broke out in part thanks to their features on the Village Stage were Dido and Christina Aguilera.

Yet, even with all that commercial and artistic success, or maybe because of it, the festival came under harsh scrutiny, even from other female artists.

In a 1997 interview with Rolling Stone, Shirley Manson from Garbage criticized the tour saying:

“I think they only showed one side of who women are — it was this cozy, middle-class, we-all-love-each-other and share-a-view-of-the-world and let's-hold-hands-and-go-forth-unto-the-world and show-how-great-we-are thing. And there's a million other women who don't feel that Lilith said anything for them. That said, Lilith is important because there are women who really do need fellowship and support. Because not everyone is like me — a loudmouthed f--ker.”

In addition, the tour was attacked by music critics, the Christian right and other feminists. In the Dallas observer, critic Gina Arnold wrote “It is, in short, a total crock of sh*t.” The LA Times would highlight some other criticisms the festival dealt with including being called “Girlapalooza” . . . “Lesbopalooza” . . .

Critics of the tour called it exclusionary to men however the road crew and backup musicians were men in some cases.
The final Lilith fair in 1999 saw, Prince, who was going as “The Artist” as the time, also joined the festival for one show, performing “Everyday is a Winding Road” with Sheryl Crow. In interviews, Sarah McL often questioned why people assumed that celebrating women meant denigrating men by default. Lilith--attendees were made up of 30% men. Critics also lambasted the festival for not being diverse enough when it came to the artists on the bill, at least for the first year of the festival.

In response to these critiques and especially out of the fear that Lilith Fair would come off as simply a folk festival, festival producers who were flush with cash, greatly expanded the tiypes of artists and genres that were included in the 1998 edition including hip hop, most notably featuring missy elliott. The organizers also bumped up the number of shows from 37 to 57.

As Night Songs continued to climb up the charts, the band started to get hit with restrictions from Dave’s people. Labar would recall in the book nothin’ but a good time The better our album did, the more restrictions they tried to put on us. At one point Tom was told that he was not allowed to speak in between songs. We pointed out how ridiculous that was, so then they said, “Okay, you’re allowed to say the name of the city and the name of the song.” Cinderella soon jumped to a bigger tour linking up with Bon Jovi for their slippery when wet tour and that further catapulted their album up the charts. The group also learned something valuable on that tour, how to treat other bands as Bon Jovi showed them true hospitality. It was on that tour the band befriended comedian Sam Kinison who was friendly with a lot of the hard rock bands. He was originally supposed to appear in the video for Somebody Save Me, but the guys from Bon Jovi stepped in at the 11th hour and helped the band out,
It was during their first major tour the band would be picketed by some ignorant pro-censorship types at a show in Corpus Christi. The LA Times were along for the ride writing “ Apparently they figured Cinderella, like the heavy-metal band stereotype, was a quartet of druggies preaching the turn-on ethic in concert. “I said ‘Wait a minute,’ ” “I told them that we don’t do drugs and that you won’t find one lyric on any of my songs saying we do drugs or telling people to do drugs. You won’t hear it on the albums and we don’t do that kind of stuff on stage. I said, ‘You’re picketing the wrong concert.
Apart from the few hiccups, Night Songs would sell 3 million copies and it would become the second biggest selling debut LP since Boston’s which came out 10 years prior. The album went on to sell a whopping 3 million copies, a huge feat for a debut record. The LA Times would remark in 1986 “What makes the success of “Night Songs” so impressive is that new heavy-metal bands rarely sell very well. In fact, even veteran heavy-metal bands aren’t selling well these days.
Despite the strong commercial performance, critics didn’t initially praise the band. Rolling Stone panned the album for and i quote too much pose, not punch. But the reviews did little to bother the members with Keifer telling the Spokesman review i’ve never really ever read a bad review about us or another band that i thought was fair., it’s mostly a bunch of cheap shots .
The band’s secret weapon has always been Tom Keifer. Fred Coury would reveal how the band avoided the sop****re slump telling the Eugene Register A lot of people, they go on the road for the first album, just do the tour and then, they get off the road and the record company says ‘well, we need an album’s worth of stuff. They have a couple of months to write 10 songs & it just doesn’t work that way. They force it and the album just starts being horrible.’ But with Tom, he always writes on the road. “ He would go on to say that by the time the band got off the road for their first album Keifer pretty much had second album written. Keifer would admit that a big inspiration for the group’s second record titled Long Cold Winter would be the fact that until the band got signed he hadn’t really ventured too far outside of new jersey and pennsylvania so touring and seeing new places resulted in him feeling emotions he hadn’t had before and he poured those into music. Keifer wanted to take the band in a different direction soundwise. A lot of records were going after the slick production style of album’s like bon jovi’s slippery when wet and poison’s look what the cat dragged in. He would tell an interviewer
“With Long Cold Winter, we started to think about [production] more,” “We started to have more organic instruments -- pianos and acoustics. We toned down the slickness or the processing a little bit, although that record's still pretty slick.”
Absent from the recording sessions was drummer Fred coury who Keifer claimed was too young and inexperienced at the time. At the request of the band’s producer Andy Johns, Jeff Beck drummer cozy powell would play a majority of the drum traks on the record with Heart drummer Denny Carmassi playing on one tra

Britny Fox would be one of the last glam metal groups to emerge out of the scene before it all came crasing down in the 90’s. The band, which hailed from the east coast music scene was made up of half ofCinderella’s original lineup. Last week I did a video on the band Cinderella. I had a number of people in that video and on the request form saying i should do britny fox next. So without further adieu lets do the band Britny Fox.

Brittany Foxx’s origins date back to the east coast music scene - more specifically New Jersey and philadelphia and it begins with guitarist Michael Kelly Smith who was from Reading, Pennsylvania. He would to move to Philadelphia to be closer to the local music scene. One of his first bands he would play in would be called Telepath & they played covers. They would lose their second guitar player and auditioned some people including future Cinderella member Tom Keifer.While a few members of Telepath preferred someone else, Smith was adamant that Keifer was the guy and he got the gig. Smith and Keifer soon became best friends and played in several cover bands together, before forming Cinderella. Prior to naming themselves Cinderella they had floated the idea of using the monicker Creep Show. Cinderella were one of the first bands at the time to do original songs on the east coast since playing covers was super lucrative at the time. The pair soon hooked up with drummer Tony Destra and bassist Eric Brittingham.

The quartet recorded a demo and had their manager shop it around to different record labels. The problem was, virtually every label turned them down claiming they sounded too much like AC/DC and Aerosmith. Smith however, at one point had nearly auditioned for Kiss and still had Gene Simmon’s number. Simmons took a liking to Cinderella and tried to land them a deal with Polygram records. But Gene wanted to sign them to a deal whereby he would write their songs and by the members of Cinderella’s own admission, Simmon’s songs weren’t very good so things didn’t work out at the time

It would be Jon Bon Jovi who was in town in Somerdale (Somerdale), New Jersey working on the band’s second album 7800 degree fahrenheit and he saw Cinderella perform at the galaxy club, a place where the band had a regular residency. Jon loved the band and notified derek schulman of polygram records

Shulman who had previously passed on the band after hearing a demo they cut. But at the insistence of jon he asked schulman to go check the band’s live show out. Schulman still wasn’t sold on the band, but he recognized Keifer and Brittingham’s talent. He would tell Cinderella’s manager a guy named Larry Mazer that he would sign the band to a development deal worth $30K if they got rid of their guitarist and drummer - Michael Kelly Smith and Tony Destra. Keiffer was actually having disagreements with both Smith and Destra over musical ideas, so they were fired from the band. Cinderella would go on to have a good deal of success with their first album 1986’s night songs selling over 3 million copies, making it the biggest debut record since boston’s ten years prior.

Smith was perplexed at the decision telling vwmusicrocks At that point, with MTV and the image and the songs, it didn’t matter if you had a great drummer or an adequate drummer. Same with [guitarist] Jeff LaBar

Lyrics:
Three little birds sat on my window
And they told me I don't need to worry
Summer came like cinnamon, so sweet
Little girls, double-dutch on the concrete

Maybe sometimes we got it wrong, but it's all right
The more things seems to change, the more they stay the same
Ooo, don't you hesitate

Girl, put your records on, tell me your favorite song
You go ahead, let your hair down
Sapphire and faded jeans
I hope you get your dreams
Just go ahead, let your hair down
You're gonna find yourself somewhere, somehow

Blue as the sky, sunburnt and lonely
Sipping tea in the bar by the road side
(Just relax, just relax)
Don't you let those other boys fool you
Gotta love that Afro hairdo

Maybe sometimes we feel afraid, but it's all right
The more you stay the same, the more they seem to change
Don't you think it's strange?

Girl, put your records on, tell me your favorite song
You go ahead, let your hair down
Sapphire and faded jeans
I hope you get your dreams

Just go ahead, let your hair down
You're gonna find yourself somewhere, somehow
Just more than I could take
Pity for pity's sake
Some nights kept me awake
I thought that I was stronger
When you gonna realize that you don't even have to try any longer?
Do what you want to

Girl, put your records on, tell me your favorite song
You go ahead, let your hair down
Sapphire and faded jeans
I hope you get your dreams
Just go ahead, let your hair down
Girl, put your records on, tell me your favorite song
You go ahead, let your hair down
Sapphire and faded jeans
I hope you get your dreams
Just go ahead, let your hair down
Ooo, you're gonna find yourself somewhere, somehow

Lyrics:
I bet one of his friends let my name slip again
And it sent you down a rabbit hole spinning
Now you know I sing, know my sign, know my drink
Size me up in a matter of minutes
Did you mean to double tap that spring break throwback from 2016, in PCB

Somewhere out there my ex boyfriend’s new girlfriend’s scrolling through my Instagram
Tearing me down passing the phone around like there’s nothing better to talk about
Zooming out, zooming in, overanalyzing
Like the queen on the mean girls committee
But hey whatever helps
Keep on telling yourself I’m not pretty

Girl let me guess you don’t like how I dress and you’re hating on my southern drawl
Give me a break, learn to sew, bake a cake
Take a walk and while you’re at it get lost

Somewhere out there my ex boyfriend’s new girlfriend’s scrolling through my Instagram
Tearing me down passing the phone around like there’s nothing better to talk about
Zooming out, zooming in, overanalyzing
Like the queen on the mean girls committee
But hey whatever helps
Keep on telling yourself I’m not pretty

I’m not pretty, I’m not cool
I’m just one of those girls that peaked in high school
Yeah right

Somewhere out there my ex boyfriend’s new girlfriend’s scrolling through my Instagram
Tearing me down passing the phone around like there’s nothing better to talk about
Zooming out, zooming in, overanalyzing
Like the queen on the mean girls committee
But hey whatever helps
Keep on telling yourself I’m not pretty
I’m not pretty
Yeah right

Lyrics:

Como hablarte y hacerte sentir diferente,
Algo inteligente, que me invente para hacerte reír locamente,
Ya me iba de frente y justo cuando lo tenía to planeao,
Te acercaste y me dejaste callao,
Enamorau

Quédate esta noche,
Quítate el jean y déjatela G,
Que rico dormir, abrazado de ti,
Y que hagamos lo que viste anoche en la tv

Oh baby si te despiertas en la noche, despiértame que quiero repetir,
Que rico vivir abrazado de ti,
Un amor como el que viste anoche en la tv

Desde esa noche que te vi debí alejarme,
Pero me hablaste, asi eres tú me hipnotizaste,
Yo me lance y justo en el aire me atrapaste,
Yo te iba a dar un beso y tú me lo robaste

Dile a tu papá que te mudas pa ́ medallo conmigo,
Dile a tu mamá que esto es serio que no somos amigos,
Ni camilo, ni rauw estan tan enamorados,
Que me junten varias vidas, me las paso a tu lao,
Enamorao

Quédate esta noche,
Quítate el jean y déjatela G,
Que rico dormir, abrazado de ti,
Y que hagamos lo que viste anoche en la tv

Oh baby si te despiertas en la noche, despiértame que hoy quiero repetir,
Que rico vivir abrazado de ti,
Un amor como el que viste anoche en la tv

Dile a tu papá que te mudas pa ́ medallo conmigo,
Dile a tu mamá que es en serio que no somos amigos,
Dile a tu papá que te amo, que se quede tranquilo,
Dile a tu mamá que la amo por ser chimba conmigo.
