00:00I don't paint my nails, don't zoom in.
00:03But I like it when girls paint their nails and I like it when a girl asks me how they
00:06should get their nails painted.
00:07That's why I thought of that line.
00:09I like a long nail with like any sort of like, just something cool, I don't know.
00:14I like a little plain French manicure as well though.
00:17Not on me, obviously.
00:18And if you ask me a color, I'll tell you a color.
00:27I was in my bedroom when I wrote this song.
00:2999% of the time I am, I'm writing at home.
00:33I wasn't super creative before I made this song.
00:37I was struggling.
00:38I had a little bit of a writer's block almost.
00:41And then I made the beat, I had the beat and then them first two lines came to me and then
00:45it just, after that it just kept unfolding.
00:48So yeah.
00:49I was just feeling myself, I think.
00:50And when I got them first two lines, paint your nails the way I like them, I was just
00:53like, yeah, I'm here.
00:55You know what I'm saying?
00:56I'm here.
00:57You better do that.
00:58I always have to just come out the gate swinging.
01:13Like if the first few lines are not like enticing, then I'll keep going until I find something
01:20that sticks and I'm like, okay, this is like, it's going to make a mark.
01:23A-B-C part is like a double entendre, it's like, I'm saying A-B-C, but I'm also saying A-B-C.
01:44And then that's why after I say, spell it out, because it's like A-B-C.
01:50But yeah.
01:51Feeling safe.
01:52I always want somebody to feel safe with me, you know?
01:54I don't want anybody feeling any type of uncomfortableness around me.
01:57You know what I'm saying?
01:58I find it harder to write like, sad, emotional music.
02:07Better for me to do stuff like this is just like, yeah, it just comes.
02:11The only time I feel weird about it is when my mom's downstairs and hearing me write all
02:17of these nasty lyrics.
02:20I would like to say that I'm dominant, but then when it comes down to it, actually,
02:47I probably don't wear the trousers in the relationship.
02:52I think I do, but it doesn't take much for you to just tell me something and I'll say,
03:00okay, you know?
03:01Say jump and I'll say how high, you know what I'm saying?
03:18The best way somebody can leave their mark on me is just by being different, unique.
03:23I don't like samey, samey people, you know?
03:26You've got to have something about you, you know what I mean?
03:29I like funny people.
03:30That's what people I like.
03:31If you can really make me laugh, then you've done something.
03:34The flirtatious banter leading up to when you're going to see someone or when the time comes
03:51for you to see them is like, that's what gives you the butterflies.
03:55That's what gets it all going and gets you hyped up and I think that's the best moments
03:59of it.
04:00This is not even just about a new relationship or whatever or a fling or something.
04:04Even if you've been in a relationship for ages and you haven't seen them for a little
04:07while or whatever, you know what I'm saying?
04:08That lead up and the flirtatious bit before where you can't wait to see each other, yeah,
04:13that's the bit that is exciting.
04:15I have two ways of going about when I'm writing something.
04:29It's like I'll either just say it point blank how it is or like these bits.
04:34I'll let you read between the lines and figure it out what I'm talking about.
04:38This bit in particular is start by yourself, leave it and drive, you know?
04:48When I get there, it's going to be a great time.
05:03Confidence I think is the biggest part about it.
05:05I don't think anybody wants anyone shy or nervous, you know?
05:09Not me anyway.
05:10I'd rather you just say it how it is, do whatever you want to do.
05:14You know what I mean?
05:15Let's just lay it out all on the table.
05:21Yeah.
05:22Is that your type?
05:24Yeah.
05:25Mature women.
05:26It's better.
05:27Can teach me a few things, you know?
05:30Sorry mum.
