The ups and downs of a break-up where like, you wake up one day and you're like, "I feel
sick, I don't need you" to the next day being like, "Ugh my life's over!"
And then I think the first thing that we got was the (singing).
And we were like, "We should just put that in every section because it's sick."
Everybody knows that feeling of when you see somebody's name on the screen, you're just
like, "Ugh, why are you calling me?"
I wanted to write a break-up song but that made people feel good about themselves.
I think it's so easy to look at the negatives in a break-up and you're like, "I'm sad, everything's
over", but actually there's that moment when you get over somebody and that feels so good,
and you're like, "Hey, yesterday I spent all day thinking about this person and I woke
up today and I just don't care anymore" and I wanted to capture that and the song kind
of help me get there.
So I felt like I captured the vibe.
Friday night, you're trying to go out with your girls, and just enjoy your night.
No boys, it's just one of those things, it's just us.
And I wanted to create that imagery of being in the club with your friends, and then your
ex calls you, and you're like, "But why?
Like, I don't actually want to talk to you anymore.
I'm just here with my friends."
Maybe you've unfollowed each other or whatever, and you're like, "My picture's still gonna
come up on your explorer, you're gonna be like, 'Damn she looks good!'”
After I got over the sadness and initial like, "Oh my God, my whole life is ending" phase,
I realized that actually, I was so much bigger and better than the situation, and without
it, I was like, "God, I'm free!”
It's actually the best feeling knowing how to make yourself happy.
When this guy's got to comeback, "You're so savage now."
Or whatever he said to me, "You're so different.
You used to wanna do this, do that, what's going on?
You don't wanna talk to me?"
And it's like, "Yeah, but you made it this way.
You turned me into the savage."
So when that name comes up on your screen, you're like, "Whoa." when I was with my friends
the first three times it happened, I was like, "Oh my God, this is so crazy."
And just like, "I don't know what's happening."
And then you get to the point where you're just like ... You don't even say anything
to your friends, you're just like, "Ugh.
Whatever."
It's not like, "Oh, I'm ignoring you," because I think then you still care.
It's just the genuine, just like, "I just have no interest in talking to you.”
It's so evil.
I actually need to behave.
Obviously, I feel for him a little bit because I think he knows that the song is about him.
You're low and you're here.
And now, I'm here.
So, I can't really come down here to have this conversation because I live here now,
and you live here.
That's the vibe.
When you're first like, "Okay, I'm kinda fly again.
And people are kinda feeling my vibe and looking at me and that."
And it feels good for the first time.
"My friends said you were a bad man," is the real-est line because I can't stress enough
how many times I was told to stay away from this man.
Literally everyone.
Everyone I introduced him to: "No.
This is not a good idea."
"No.
Definitely not."
And I was like, "La-la-la-la-la-la-la."
Because love is so blind, it's actually crazy.
Crazy.
I used to think, I wish I'd never met him.
But actually, it's kinda sick.
I feel like I'm kind of enjoying the savage vibe that the situation gave me.
I wrote a good song.
It ended pretty well.
Also, just on an ego thing.
I love that he has to hear it everywhere.
