You have to kind of experience life a little bit to like get to that end point
whatever that end point is. Especially in like our scenario like if
we do meet a girl in this time like with everything that we have to go through
like it'd be nicer to know like hey this is cool but like let's pick it up later.
Like when we're more experienced. When we've gone through life.
Sometimes that's just real. You never know.
Sometimes that's just real.
Sometimes real is just real, you know?
Sometimes that's just real.
The concept of the song came about when I was having a conversation with this girl.
She was trying to explain to me the concept of right person, wrong time and
she went on to say that she feels that she's already met the guy of her dreams,
but she's gonna have to go through a bunch of like bad decisions before she
could make it to the right decision. So then I brought it to the guys, I was like
"Yo, how y'all feel about this? That's right about it. You just said that and we just, we were like, "yeah."
It was such a sweet like idea like soon as he said that, I was
like "Oh this could really be something that's like really sweet that could
resonate with people." We were like that's some like phases, right there.
Basically like the 20 cold hearts is like the 20 guys that like kind of
like hurt her in any way like emotionally. There's something about like
20 cold hearts that was just so like I think I think I said it's 20 and I just
wanted to say like a thing. And I'm still trying to just, you know, put the pieces
together. I just think that it was like something that a lot of people can
relate to. Like you know everybody's always trying to find themselves.
Everybody's trying to like strive to be the best version of themselves, you know
sometimes it doesn't work out and like you go through these life experiences.
We've had this conversation earlier. You've told me, like
I've told you. We've expressed to each other how we feel. I'm just gonna sit
here with a bag of chips and wait.
She's destined for him. Like that's...
he thinks he's her soulmate and he loves her so much that he doesn't want to
interfere with her love life and like because who am I to conflict with you
living your life type shit?
I'm still here for you because I love you that much. You can do whatever you need but when you
need help I'm there for you. We write like a lot like for like, for real.
People don't really know that, and a lot of the time our wordplay goes over
people's heads. So yeah we just, we just try to like make shit like as
intricate as possible like lyrically I feel like. And people don't notice all the time.
When I was talking about the girl who influenced the song, she was telling me about this boy. She
was going to the club with him, blah, blah, blah, and he was trying to make her feel all dandy.
And I'm thinking to myself like you keep going to this club you keep like
you know feeding into this experience when in reality like I know you don't
want to be there. So why are you keep putting yourself in that position? It's
like you getting wasted and that's a waste of your time.
I'm not gonna be the one to bring you back. You're definitely not going to be the one to come back.
I'ma just that the universe do the talking.
And if it doesn't happen, then it all worked out for the way he was supposed to work out.
Yeah I mean if you listen to the whole song, you
realize Pretty Much has bars and that's the main thing we try to
execute with this song. The idea of shuffling through guys and going through
these experiences is a lot like going through songs and just being like, "I
don't know what I want to listen to today, yeah. Boom, listen to this.
The phases that like girls tend
to go to when it comes to a relationship is you know the the guy who made them
feel like everything, and then ended up making them feel like nothing towards
the end. Or having to put in the extra mile when the guy isn't putting in the
extra mile. Or not giving enough because of all the other barriers
have to put up because guys have messed with them in the past. So there's a bunch
of like, you know, experiences you kind of have to go through to learn who you are
as a person. Because you can't love somebody if you don't know how to love
yourself in the beginning
It's not exactly what
you want and it may not it may not be like what you imagine
but deep down inside is what you need because you need to get through these
phases 'cause it's like you have to go through these levels to unlock the master.
I've definitely traveled. I've definitely taken
a plane or two or three. Four or five. I've had my history of long-distance
relationships like even from just from doing whatever what we've been doing.
The past like three years living with these guys, you know, we go through our
phases too. So like I've definitely been through some long-distance relationships
and it's tough because it's constant reassurance and all that stuff, but if
you feel like that person is the one, nothing will compare to this girl. And
you will go how far you got to go to get her.
As relationships go, I've definitely
been ... you know I've lost relationships over someone being like "this is not the
time for me or for us or for you." Like I've even been told myself like "you
aren't ready for this right now," you know. And so, you know it comes in
different ways and shapes and forms.
We're talking more than just us in a bedroom
with the clothes hitting the floor. If you know ... we're talking more than that.
I'm falling off track, but not the rack. So it's like when when clothes fall off the rack, it's
like a chore.
Not to say I wouldn't... actually I probably
wouldn't go on an overseas like to knock on your door. But hypothetically to make
you feel it I would.
Star boy's like kind of never really been used other than like the
Weeknd. We're talking about planets we're talking about you know star girl.
Your body is solar, like just on some more wordplay just to sound cool which it
does so it's lit.
I'm an "I told you so" god. I swear, I swear the one thing is a
lot of "I told you sos" is coming from me. Not to say people don't have "I told you
sos," I just feel like I like to rub it in people's faces.
