- So I got stung by a bee, and I was sittin' on the couch
and I was like, (soft yelling) I was like shivering,
'cause I just felt so violated, and I was like crying.
My A & R texted me and was like Juice just hit a million!
I was like (crying) (laughing)
it was so fucked up, but also like,
that was like the perfect moment,
I needed something to boost me up.

- I have to give credit to my creative director
and the director, Quinn Wilson.
And also Marco Monroe.
We love Madonna in this family,
and so they actually showed me the clip for the reference
and they were like, this is kind of the attitude of it.
And there was something about,
like late night is so different now.
Back then I just felt like when an artist would come out,
especially when artists were a little bit more
not in the spotlight, no one knows their every move
from social media and they got to do ridiculous shit
and then they would just like come out of that haze
of ridiculousness and be on television, live TV.
There was something really honest about how
not with the shits Madonna was.
And I feel like we wanted to bring that alive in Juice,
like you can see the dude, the late night host
just being like, (growls) "everyone make some noise,"
I'm just like "Bitch you don't even know,
you don't even fuckin' know," ya know.
I think we don't see that any more.
Everyone comes on late night and they're like
Oh my god yes yeah plug plug plug their promo.
I'm like man let's do some, let's do a real bitch moment
where she come out and she prolly had a bad day.
We started with a clip of Aretha Franklin,
from The Blues Brothers.
And she was in the kitchen and they was like
♪ You better think (mumbles) do to me, ♪
♪ you better think, think! ♪
You know that clip?
So anyways, we were watchin' that and it reminded Quinn
of like, the old 70's black sitcoms,
and Good Times, and all of that and so,
she inserted a scene from-
she was like, "And then we'll do a scene from that,
but she's kinda flipping through the channels."
So it started there and I was like you know what,
Quinn we don't have to be married to that
I kinda like this bigger idea of
flipping through the channels so kinda chase that.
There's such a nostalgia with channel surfing
that I has as a kid like going through Nickelodeon
and just being like what's (mumbles),
and then going to Cartoon Network
and then like the Late Night.
Like three AM where you can't sleep where it was like
Mama's House was playing or Seinfeld, that type of shit.
I feel like the video really encompassed that,
especially when I'm sitting next to that
fine ass dude not paying attention to him,
trying to find something on TV.
This was was a none Netflix and chill scenario,
that we wanted to set up.
This was like some real life 1999 shit,
and we had so many different channels that we wanted to do.
I wanted to be Mrs. Rogers,
from Mister Rogers' Neighborhood.
We was gonna do a Good Times scene,
like we definitely were gonna go for it.
We wanted to do a futuristic aliens sci-fi show
(laughs) but you know we didn't have the
♪ budget, oooo! ♪
♪ Or the time, Jesus. ♪
So we didn't do all of that but I'm so happy
with how it turned out.
We want to reference the icons: Diana, Aretha,
Madonna, Cher like that's where our bread and butter is
when it comes to someone like me.
I heard in the grapevine somebody was like
we just don't know what a Lizzo song sounds like.
'Cause she's too good at too many things.
And thank you and also ouch you know what I mean,
that was hard to take and that was hard to hear.
That being said I'm in every song I sing,
so I believe in evolving as an artist.
I had to refine my sound, I had to find my voice
and I think this is definitely the most Lizzo-y
voice I've ever found right now.
This year is all about me just dropping little songs.
I'm gonna be like a little song leprechaun.
I'm just gonna be dropping little songs
at the end of little rainbows with a pot of gold
for you to enjoy and you know,
whatever's at the end of that rainbow
is what we're going to find.
But 2019 is going to be filled with new music, to the brim.
Stuffed, dripping with new music.
Hot you know?
Moist, with new music.
(laughs)
Juicy if you will.
(tongue pop) - [Interviewer] I will.
(laughs)
I like you, is this going to be in there?
His voice going to be in there?
(laughter) [Interviewer] We'll see
- what we can do. - [Lizzo] Damn!
