- Yo what's going on?
It's YUNGBLUD, how are you?
We're about to do a playback of my new song
original me featuring Dan Reynolds of Imagine Dragons.
It's gonna be sick.
Take it away.
(upbeat music)
Ah brother, we're in Las Vegas man.
I remember how hot it was,
it was so dusty.
Go on Mikey,
bang.
See that forklift guy man he was a good lad.
His name's Kenny,
he was chain smoking all day.
♪ Yeah ♪
This was so hard
because they gave me a specific shot
like 10 meters behind me
and I'm just dancing about
and I'm like walking back to meet this spot on the ground
before this car,
well this car in the effects falls on my head
and crushes me.
♪ I'm so typical ♪
And that's Dan Reynolds looking super sexy.
Go on Dan.
♪ So caught up in it ♪
♪ Just a lowlife I'll admit ♪
♪ I'm self-critical ♪
This was like the dustiest experience ever man.
I was like coughing (bleep) up for days
because I had to crawl out of there under the car.
♪ Such a loser I'll admit ♪
♪ And I ask myself ♪
And you can see how dirty I am.
Look at me.
Dirty dom.
♪ Will I run away? ♪
And then I was under a car just as you do,
casually just giving it some.
Just banging on a car door in a dusty Las Vegas
with Dan Reynolds from Imagine Dragons,
freaking out.
♪ I'm the original loser ♪
But I love the color of the sky there.
Dan looks so sick
♪ Anyone else ♪
♪ I'm so paranoid ♪
♪ Most people I avoid ♪
This bit was fun,
bang hello.
♪ Not seeking sympathy (Nah) ♪
♪ I just want out ♪
Flick the camera up
and then this was so hard.
♪ Hey ♪
Because that truck is being held up
by a forklift in front of me
and when I jumped off there everyone was like, "Ah"
because if it would have fallen over in real life
I would have probably been like strawberry jam
on the pavement.
♪ I climb the walls inside of my mind ♪
♪ Piece 'em together and jump off the sides ♪
♪ I might be alone tonight ♪
♪ If I try to stay alive and realize ♪
♪ I'm going blind ♪
Dead.
And this bit at the end is just like go for it.
♪ Loser ♪
♪ Some days I wish I's anyone else ♪
And then the cars in the background,
I remember when I saw this in VFX I was like,
"Holy (bleep) that looks so cool."
♪ Some days I wish I's ♪
Bit of my belly there.
I didn't eat for a week.
No I'm joking, I did.
♪ Don't let 'em change your mind ♪
♪ Don't let 'em waste your time ♪
Bruv it was so dusty this shot
when I'm looking up at the camera
it's like dust falling in my eyeballs.
Wait that one I'm like, "Owh, owh, owh."
What is going through my head is, "Owh, (bleep) owh".
♪ Don't let 'em waste your time ♪
♪ Yeah ♪
♪ ♪ Don't let 'em waste your time ♪
♪ I'm the original loser ♪
♪ Some days I wish I's anyone else ♪
Yeah, that is genuine like falling on each other
because we'd done like five takes all the way through
and we were knackered.
We were so tired but it was sick
and it was worth it.
And I hope you love the video as much as I do.
(upbeat music)
There was one song on it
and I was listening to it
and it wasn't quite 100% perfect.
I didn't want to like pull a Kanye West thing.
- What was wrong about it?
- It was like, it was just, it was.
I always ask myself two questions,
I'm like when I release a song I'm like,
could someone else sing it?
And is it 100% real to what I'm feeling right now?
And if I answer no one else could sing it
and it's a 100% real to what I'm feeling right now,
then I'll release it.
But I needed to change some of the lyrics around
in one of the songs off it.
So, I did.
- [Interviewer] Update them a little.
- Update, just give them a bit of a spring clean.
- Interesting.
- Even though it's a month old.
- And what track is that?
- casual sabotage.
- [Interviewer] Alright.
- And the song like,
that was such a special song to me
because I played that
about
a year ago on tour
before it was out just to see what it's like
because if people don't leave then the song is good.
- Yeah, that's a good tester.
- And it's the biggest tattoo in my fan base.
Like my fans always get tattoos
but it's like and it's a lyrics,
"I'm just a messed up kid with sown up lips,
"I can take this,
"I need to exist"
and everyone's got I need to exist on their arm.
So I was like it's got to be real.
- [Interviewer] Yeah.
- D'you know what I mean?
It's got to be like perfecto.
