I definitely think love is a drug.
It's something that you can be so caught up on for so long.
That's also why people stay in good relationships, and that's why people stay in bad relationships
because it's almost like an addiction. You get addicted to the person. You can't
let go of them, especially when you've been together for years and years and years.
There's just so much history and it's hard to detach yourself.
My initial inspiration for “Boo’d Up” was literally what the words are.
It was just like being infatuated with someone. Being in the room when there's 50 people and
only that one person matters.
Just being boo’d up, really.
When you get into that first initial stage of really liking someone and falling for them
I think everyone, being human, has their doubts where they're like 'maybe I'm falling too
fast, maybe the other person doesn't feel the same way.
I don't know what it really is.
I don't like to put myself in vulnerable situations.
I don't wear my heart on my sleeve.
I'm very guarded.
If I get into a situation and something doesn't feel right, I'll automatically close my doors.
To be honest, it's like everything that I hadn't had before.
I am still quite young. I'm 23, so I've only been in two real relationships.
I didn't know what it was, so I couldn't really say “Okay, it's this, it's that.”
I just had this feeling, but I didn't know what it was.
It's almost too good to be true.
God forbid, it doesn't work out in this situation, the next person I find, if they're not showing
me the same feelings and I'm not feeling the same way about them as I feel about you, then
I'm never going to get over you.
We tried to incorporate our heartbeat and being boo’d up with your boo.
If you think about a heartbeat, like “ba-dum ba-dum ba-dum,” we did it close enough to
where it can be melodic and catchy and still make sense without it sounding like I'm talking
gibberish.
I feel like sometimes you can be so in love with someone, or just infatuated with someone
that you feel like if they leave, what are you going to do?
There's nothing left for me to do.
When, of course, there is, but that feeling again is if I don't have you, then I don't
know what I'll do with myself.
I'm a strong believer of when you go out searching for something, you don't really find exactly
what you're searching for, because I think you're too concentrated on number one, number
two, number three, number four; all these different things.
Perfection doesn't exist.
When you don't look for it, and it just kind of comes out of nowhere and surprises you.
It almost feels like all those boxes are ticked anyway, even if there's something at the bottom
of the list that isn't ticked, but it's just again, the feeling.
Love in general can definitely sweep you off your feet.
I find it really hard to explain love as well and explain your feelings because I feel like
it's kind of better left unsaid.
If you know it and the person knows it, that's what the whole song is, really.
