- I wouldn't write a song about someone
and go outta my way to be like, you're nice.
You're all right, you're nice.
Hi, I'm Maisie Peters and I'm gonna play a game
of Song Association with Elle.
I'll be given a word and I have 10 seconds
to sing or rap that word in a song.
I've watched a lot of these
and I've always thought they're harder than they look.
I always have sympathy for the people doing them.
But, before we get to the game,
be sure to check out my music,
including the album I released
called "You Signed Up For This".

That is my song.
That's "Favorite Ex".
It came out a few years ago.
I think it's one of my fans' favorites
and it's one of my favorites.
I do it at all the shows that I play.
I have lots of different songs that are
my favorite to perform live,
but I will say, I'm in New York right now,
and I have a song called "Brooklyn".
I'm playing Webster Hall and I've never sang "Brooklyn"
in New York before.
So that's gonna be my favorite.

Can I have it?
I am touring with Ed Sheeran.
I'm signed to his record label, Gingerbread Man.
And yeah, we've been friends and collaboratives
for a while now, for a couple of years.
And he's so amazing.
I've learned so much.
He's just one of the best people I know,
like personally and musically.
Obviously musically he's just incredible
and iconic in so many ways,
but as a person, there's just no one actually
like sweeter or more generous or...
He's just the best ever.

Nice.
Crickets.
Such a funny word.
Hmm.
Nice.
Cause it's such an average thing to call somebody,
to call somebody nice.
I wouldn't write a song about someone
and go out of my way to be like, you're nice.
You're all right, you're nice.
Hence why I'm struggling to think of somebody
where that's a lyric in a song.
You are nice.

Underrated.
She's my all time favorite.
She's sort of my hero and the reason I started making music.

"John Hughes Movie" by myself, Maisie Peters.
I wrote that song when I was like 17
with some really good friends of mine,
Miranda and Henrick.
And we worked on it for ages, like on and off,
for a few years and then it came out.
It was the first single off my album.
Number.
Absolutely no idea.
Also, hilarious, ready for this deep card of a song.
My name is no.
My sign is no.
My number is no.
You need to let it go.
Meghan Trainer.

Sign.
Well...
♪ Who cares about star signs ♪
♪ I'm hard wired to be with you ♪
That's my song.
It's called "Feels Like This".
It's a love song.
I don't have very many of those.
I think my songwriting process is sort of fairly chaotic.
I just sort of write on my phone, on my notes app.
People call me Tappy Tappy cause I'll just be like,
and I'll be like, okay, I've got something
and then I'll sing what I have
and we'll work on it and edit it.
Or sometimes I'll just be like under my breath,
like singing, singing, singing, singing.
And I'm like, okay, I've got it.

I have many favorite Taylor Swift songs.
But I think a nostalgic favorite for me
is "Back To December".
♪ It turns out freedom ain't nothin' but missin' you ♪
♪ Wishin' I'd realized what I had when you were mine ♪
♪ I'd go back to December turn around and change my mind ♪
Best.
♪ You're simply the best ♪
♪ You're better than all the rest ♪
I literally can't tell you who that's by.
But "Simply The Best".
Song.

♪ You see ♪
"Love Song" by Sara Bareilles.
One of my favorite artists.
Heart.
♪ Total eclipse of the heart ♪
♪ I really need you tonight ♪
♪ Forever's ♪
Okay, that's enough.
I'm sad that I didn't do better,
but I would like to come back and have a rematch
at some point, because, I'm gonna be honest,
I think you gave me hard ones.
If I had to challenge someone at Song Associations,
I would do the girls back home.
I would do Ed Griff,
and say Grid, I think we'd both be really funny.
I think we'd all be really bad.
Thanks so much for watching me play
Song Association with Elle.
