“Stereoqueen”
by Stela Cole
Tright here’s nothing fairly like that first night time out after a breakup – the liberty, the adrenaline, the ache that also lingers underneath your pores and skin. Stela Cole bottles that emotional rollercoaster into pure electrical energy on “Stereoqueen,” a seductive disco-pop triumph off her debut album I Die The place You Start (independently launched April 18th through her personal Stelavision Data). Glistening guitars and glammed-up harmonies shimmer with warmth as Cole reclaims her energy on the dance flooring, her voice pulsing with hearth and ferocity. “Don’t attempt talkin’ to me / Tonight I’m gonna be the stereo queen,” she sings with conviction, each observe soaked in power and self-possession.
Don’t attempt talkin’ to me
Tonight I’m gonna be
the stereo queen
Dancing prefer it’s 1973, uh
Child, I don’t want ya,
swear that I don’t want ya, no
Don’t attempt trippin’ my ft
Tonight I’m gonna be
the stereo queen
Dancing such as you don’t
imply nothin’ to me
Child, I don’t want ya,
swear that I don’t want ya, no
“This music is concerning the first night time out after a breakup, and what rediscovering your sense of self can really feel like,” Cole tells Atwood Journal. “It’s thrilling, upbeat and enjoyable, whereas additionally hinting on the previous and the nerves that include being newly single and dealing with the world with out the individual you used to name residence… whether or not they had been good for you or not.” That stress provides “Stereoqueen” its emotional edge – a fearless, fiery anthem with a touch of fragility, dancing by the sting of reminiscence and right into a daring, unshakable now.
I,I wanna dance
(dancin’, dancin’, dancin’)
Wanna prance up on the mattress
Snow angels on the ground
And I put myself up in a trance
Performing like an actress
When you’re bangin’ down my door
Cole calls this the “empowering part” in her debut album’s narrative arc – “the second after you lastly depart somebody who has harm you, and the adrenaline kicks in” and self-worth comes roaring again – or as she places it, “You’re feeling unstoppable.”
“Being a Stereoqueen means being robust and setting your self free,” she says. “It’s having a wild night time out with your pals, dancing to the classics, and forgetting all of the bullshit that’s weighed you down up to now… For me, it’s about reclaiming my independence after a foul breakup the place I misplaced who I used to be for some time.” There’s grit in that glory – and a whisper of doubt that lingers within the music’s bridge: “You may f* with me tomorrow, however tonight I’m in my feels.”
Don’t attempt talkin’ to me
Tonight I’m gonna be
the stereo queen
Dancing prefer it’s 1973, uh
Child, I don’t want ya,
swear that I don’t want ya, no
Don’t attempt trippin’ my ft
Tonight I’m gonna be
the stereo queen
Dancing such as you don’t
imply nothin’ to me
Child, I don’t want ya,
swear that I don’t want ya, no
“Stereoqueen” is intoxicating, impassioned, an irresistible – a throwback fever dream that also feels completely trendy – and a standout second on an album filled with emotional extremes. As Cole places it, I Die The place You Start is her “residence base as an artist,” and songs like this one remind us simply how thrilling that basis can sound when it’s constructed on liberation, honesty, and unfiltered pleasure.
If I’m being actual,
I’ll lower you a deal
You may f* with me tomorrow,
however tonight I’m in my feels
And I really feel, oh
Like breakin’ it down,
two, three, 4
“There’s a music on this album for any and each emotion you feel,” Cole provides, smiling. “The human expertise is a rollercoaster, and this album is a reminder of what it’s wish to dwell, to like, to be damaged, and to be modified.”
Stela Cole doesn’t simply endure by the ache – she leaves it within the mud. If “Stereoqueen” teaches us something, it’s that generally, one of the best ways to heal is to show the quantity up and dance your approach again to your self.
Don’t attempt talkin’ to me
Tonight I’m gonna be
the stereo queen
Dancing prefer it’s 1973, uh
Child, I don’t want ya,
swear that I don’t want ya, no
Don’t attempt trippin’ my ft
Tonight I’m gonna be
the stereo queen
Dancing such as you don’t
imply nothin’ to me
Child, I don’t want ya,
swear that I don’t want ya, no
“Carrie”
by Breagh Isabel
We don’t at all times select our daydreams – generally they only seem, vivid and filled with colour, like a music already writing itself. “Carrie” arrived that approach for Canadian singer/songwriter Breagh Isabel: A fleeting glimpse of a stranger within the park sparked a rush of creativeness, blooming right into a vibrant queer love music that looks like a summer season crush come to life. Mild and lustrous with ‘80s synths and pulsing beats, “Carrie” is playful and passionate, tender and electrical – a fantasy you need to dwell in and a refrain you’re singing earlier than the primary spin is thru.
I can’t cease considering ’bout
I can’t cease considering ’bout
Carrie
My favorite daydream
Lovin’ you is simple
wait ‘til you meet me
I can’t cease considering bout
I can’t cease considering ‘bout
Carrie, Carrie
Written with Robyn Dell’Unto on a spring day in Nashville, “Carrie” captures the joys of a narrative that hasn’t occurred – and perhaps by no means will. “Offer you a reputation ‘trigger I’ll by no means discover out… Lovin’ you is simple, wait until you meet me,” Isabel sings, her voice gliding like a secret. “It’s a love music for somebody you’ll by no means meet,” she shares. “I believe it captures the best way your thoughts can spiral into all of the what-ifs of a relationship, earlier than it begins and even when you realize completely nothing concerning the individual. The form of love story that feels thrilling as a result of it’s not actual.” Escapist, romantic, and completely irresistible, this can be a crush anthem born to soundtrack Delight month and past.
Isabel and Dell’Unto bonded over a shared love of MUNA’s “crush” songs, and that affect is unmistakable: “Carrie” echoes the enjoyment and abandon of tracks like “Silk Chiffon,” with massive, buoyant beats, light-touch vocals, and a heat, summery shimmer that lifts the fantasy even greater. But whereas it pays homage, the music is pure Breagh Isabel, mixing her crisp indie pop sensibilities with cinematic manufacturing and deeply private storytelling.
Did you sleep at residence on their own final night time
What number of others are dying to deal with you proper
Perhaps I’m simply in search of a contemporary begin, a brand new life
You appear like somebody I might love if that alright
Tonight I’ll fly to the foot of your mattress
If I can’t have you ever I would like nothing as a substitute
Offer you a reputation trigger I’ll by no means discover out
For Isabel, the enjoyment of “Carrie” lies in its spontaneity – the liberty to observe a spark with out overthinking it. “I hope listeners simply have enjoyable with this music,” she shares. “Not each music must be deep or heavy – generally it’s nearly chasing a vibe and letting your self be a bit playful with the method.” That light-weight sentiment pulses by each beat of “Carrie,” whose warmth and heartbeat glow simply beneath the shiny floor. It’s the form of music that makes you need to dance and pine directly – a smoldering seduction wearing sweat, sparkle, and synth.
Whether or not she’s writing for herself or others, Breagh Isabel makes music that comes from the guts – trustworthy and story-driven, filled with sparks. “Carrie” may be only a daydream, but it surely’s one you’ll end up returning to lengthy after the ultimate refrain fades. True to type, I can’t cease considering ‘bout “Carrie.”
I can’t cease considering bout
I can’t cease considering bout
Carrie
My favorite daydream
Lovin’ you is simple,
wait ’til you meet me
I can’t cease considering ‘bout
I can’t cease considering ‘bout
Carrie, Carrie
Carrie, Carrie
If I can’t have you ever…
I can’t cease fascinated by
I can’t cease considering Carrie…
“You Killed the Music”
by Debbii Dawson
Tright here’s a form of magic that solely Debbii Dawson can conjure – the sort that glitters underneath disco lights, shimmers with heartache, and rises in triumph like a sequin-streaked phoenix from the ashes. Her single “You Killed the Music” brings that dynamic to life: A stunning eruption of sound and spirit, pairing cinematic synths with punchy drums, dramatic basslines, and Dawson’s signature aptitude for emotional grandeur. Half heartbreak, half rebirth, it’s the form of full physique anthem that makes you’re feeling like the principle character in your personal coming-of-age film – dancing within the ruins, glitter catching the sunshine.
You killled the music
Left me in ruins
Wrapped up in quiet
Poison with silence
You killed the music (ooh)
Made me really feel silly (ooh)
What am I combating? (Ooh)
Main to minor (ooh)
For 29-year-old Dawson – who signed to legendary main RCA Data final 12 months and subsequently launched the EP The way to Be Human to important acclaim – “You Killed the Music” is a narrative of each ache and perseverance. “Like a whole lot of breakup songs, the story explains how somebody harm me and I obtained by it,” she tells Atwood Journal. “On this specific scenario, a person tainted one thing so pure for me, my love for music. It obtained to the purpose the place I couldn’t take heed to the radio anymore, not to mention write or sing, with out feeling unhappy or offended.”
That harm cuts deep, but it surely’s the act of rising up and reclaiming her love that provides this music its energy. “You killed the music / Left me in ruins / Wrapped up in quiet / Poison with silence,” Dawson sings, her voice trembling with each grief and hearth. And but, what begins in silence doesn’t finish there. “I closed the door / And altered all of the chords / Then my ft begin to move…”
“You Killed the Music” is a radiant embrace of pleasure and identification. “Now all these brand-new melodies hold falling off the tip of my tongue… I’m listening to symphonies, you actually made me assume I used to be accomplished / However child, you may’t cease me now,” Dawson rejoices within the music’s refrain, wholeheartedly in her aspect – and loving each minute of it. It’s a triumphant center finger and a glistening, glittery catharsis wrapped into one – a reminder that essentially the most highly effective form of therapeutic usually comes with a beat you may dance to.
I closed the door
And altered all of the chords
Then my ft begin to transfer
Now all these brand-new
Melodies hold falling off the tip of my tongue
Ah-ha, ah-ha, ah-ha
I’m listening to symphonies,
you actually made me assume I used to be accomplished
However child, you may’t cease me now
Melodies hold falling off the tip of my tongue
Ah-ha, ah-ha, ah-ha
I’m listening to symphonies,
you actually made me assume I used to be accomplished
However child, you may’t cease me now
“Each single phrase on this music is a direct reference to what I used to be going by,” Dawson shares. “I used to be having a extremely onerous time, so the feelings are very actual. I’m singing about music, however on a deeper stage, this music is about any individual or circumstance that sucks the life out of you, breaks your spirit, and steals your spark. After which the triumph felt when it doesn’t get the higher of you.”
There’s a theatricality to Dawson’s fashion that feels each contemporary and timeless – she’s ABBA reincarnate, a disco-pop dancing queen making feel-good, empowering, larger-than-life pop songs that really feel concurrently traditional and up to date, timeless and contemporary. And along with her music’s VHS-inspired music video, metallic go-go boots, and a coronary heart on hearth, she embodies the enjoyment of liberation and the sweetness of survival. “Making this music was a cathartic expertise for me,” she says. “My coronary heart was so heavy once I went into the studio to put in writing this monitor, and I left that night time floating within the air with a smile on my face.”
You killed the music
Pulled my approach by it
Now I’m taking part in all of the songs
that I do know you wouldn’t like
The day that you just left,
oh, I got here alive
I closed the door
Yeah, I lower the cords
Then my ft begin to transfer
Now all these brand-new
Between her fearless efficiency and flawless supply, Dawson clearly poured her full self into this music – and it reveals. “I hope listeners really feel empowered and uncover resilience they didn’t know they’d,” she provides. “For anybody going by one thing that’s leaving you feeling damaged, you’re going to be okay. You’ll be the individual you had been earlier than once more, however whoever or no matter is making you’re feeling that approach has obtained to go!”
There actually is a magic to every little thing Debbii Dawson touches: From final 12 months’s hit single “Blissful World” to current singles “Chemical Response” and “Intestine Emotions,” her songs are invigorating, inspiring, and completely intoxicating.
“I’m a bizarre woman who makes bizarre music for bizarre folks,” Dawson grins. “Music gave me a spot to belong, and I hope the songs I make can present that to the world as effectively.”
This music does all that and entire lot extra: With “You Killed the Music,” Debbii Dawson doesn’t simply reclaim her spark – she ignites ours, too. She closed the door, lower the cords, and saved the beat – now we’re all dancing in her glow.
Melodies hold falling off the tip of my tongue
Ah-ha, ah-ha, ah-ha
I’m listening to symphonies,
you actually made me assume I used to be accomplished
However child, you may’t cease me now
Melodies hold falling off the tip of my tongue
Ah-ha, ah-ha, ah-ha
I’m listening to symphonies
You actually made me assume I used to be accomplished
However child, you may’t cease me now
Validation is a hell of a drug – and aleksiah chases that top with hearth and finesse on “The Hit.” A daring, glistening standout off her new EP Cry About It (out July 11th through Chugg Music and Stellar Set off), this music hits like a jolt to the system: All pulsing beats, glowing synths, and emotionally uncooked vocals that ache and soar in equal measure. Assume MUNA meets Lily Allen, with a contact of 2010s recession-pop – all wrapped round a voice that pulls you in and doesn’t let go.
I obtained the assistance I want
I do know the grass is inexperienced
I don’t assume I’ll ever be,
be sufficient for you
Hung up on jealousy
Caught on a melody
Discovering the lacking piece
inside my bed room
I would like the identical as you
A minimum of I believe I do
I do know that I’m sure to lose
this match between us
A lock and a pair keys
Harness and heavy leash
Makin’ it onerous to depart
“Oh, it’s the hit that cuts me to my core / When the writing’s on the wall / Perhaps this’ll be my downfall…” the Adelaide-based singer/songwriter belts, her voice simmering with self-awareness and desperation. Written alone in a lodge room, “The Hit” is concerning the strain to create one thing nice – to be nice – and the frenzy of validation that comes with it. “I had simply listened to considered one of my favourite songs, ‘Love Music’ by Sara Bareilles, and I liked the way it could possibly be seen from two factors of view, feeling pressured to make a success music and a relationship, so I wished to attempt my hand on the similar factor,” aleksiah tells Atwood Journal.
Now it, it’s as much as me
It’s a thousand levels
And each second, each minute,
it will get tougher to breathe
Once I don’t really feel the frenzy
When the phrases will not be sufficient
Once I’m lookin’ on the web page
and I’m pretendin’ that it’s love
Oh, it’s the hit that cuts me to my core
When the writing’s on the wall
Perhaps this’ll be my downfall
Child, it’s the hit that will get me by the night time
Leaves me thinkin’ that I’m high quality
Within the mornin’ I’ll be all yours
Child, it’s ooh, approach you take a look at me
Inform me it’s future, “we might make historical past”
Oh child, it’s the hit that cuts me to the core
Leaves me dyin’ on the ground
Perhaps this’ll be my downfall, downfall
“The music is about feeling unworthy, and having that exterior (however principally inner) strain on you to do effectively. However then you possibly can spin the story and browse it like a music a few poisonous relationship, and that ‘the hit’ is the validation you get from being with somebody, and the way it’s nearly like a drug.”
That duality is the guts of “The Hit” – a dance between craving and collapse, between ambition and unraveling. “For me it’s about placing a lot strain on myself to do effectively. I’ve at all times been an individual that places a whole lot of pleasure and a whole lot of perception within the issues I do, which I swear goes to kill me in the long run,” aleksiah says wryly. “Don’t really feel the frenzy / And the phrases will not be sufficient / Like I’m lookin’ at a river and pretendin’ it’s a flood.” She’s chasing perfection, even when it hurts – capturing in music the catharsis that comes from lastly admitting how a lot it takes out of you.
“It might not sound like a very private music, however the scenario the music speaks about is extremely near my chest.”
Lackin’ the empathy
Sincere and hellish we
Naturally disagree and might’t escape it
Knowin’ you’re unhealthy for me
Battle it like gravity
You make it so onerous to depart
Now it, it’s as much as me
It’s so onerous to consider
There’s nothin’ left to make a large number of
Guess I’m runnin’ out of steam, ’trigger I
Don’t really feel the frenzy
And the phrases will not be sufficient
Like I’m lookin’ at a river
and pretendin’ it’s a flood
“The Hit” marks a shift on Cry About It, falling on the EP’s B-side and signaling a sonic and emotional evolution. “The final two songs I wrote for the EP had been ‘Garments Off’ and ‘The Hit,’ that are much more poppy and at this cut-off date, I’m actually resonating with that sound,” she explains. “I believe ‘The Hit’ actually suits in with the second half of the EP.” Impressed by writers like Sara Bareilles and her personal childhood love of “miserable songs with enjoyable pop beats,” aleksiah makes music that feels each deeply private and universally felt – for “those that take themselves a bit too significantly, however want they didn’t (me).”
“I hope listeners know they’re not alone in the event that they’re a perfectionist,” she shares. “They’re not loopy for making an attempt their hardest… and if folks of their life inform them to ‘sit back,’ don’t take heed to them.”
“For me, I believe it was an enormous launch to get a weight of strain and perfectionism off of my chest.”
It may be concerning the weight of expectation, however “The Hit” is a launch – explosive, exhilarating, and unforgettable. aleksiah doesn’t buckle underneath strain; slightly, she breaks the cycle and turns her ache into pop gold.
Oh, it’s the hit that cuts me to my core
When the writing’s on the wall
Perhaps this’ll be my downfall
Child, it’s the hit that will get me by the night time
Leaves me thinkin’ that I’m high quality
Within the mornin’ I’ll be all yours
Child, it’s ooh, approach you take a look at me
Inform me it’s future, “we might make historical past”
Oh child, it’s the hit that cuts me to the core
Leaves me dyin’ on the ground
Perhaps this’ll be my downfall, downfall
Don’t you complainin’
to anyone else, physique else, no
Oh honey, you introduced
this on your self, on your self, oh
“It’s a music a few woman.” That’s all Royel Otis needed to say about “moody,” and hell, perhaps that’s all they wanted to say. The Australian duo’s frustration-fueled music is a dizzying mix of exasperation and exhilaration – a gloriously messy, tongue-in-cheek indie rock anthem that hits like a late-night meltdown with a facet of eyeliner smudged excellent. It’s uncooked, it’s catchy, it’s wry and wide-eyed all of sudden – and it’s now a bonafide hit, not too long ago touchdown the #1 spot on the Billboard Grownup Various Airplay chart!
I obtained good intentions, she don’t see them in any respect
She’d slightly point out that I missed her name
I’m within the canine home once more
Staring on the wall, wall, wall
She’s at all times givin’ it to me
Late nights, she at all times accusin’
Final time, she stated she would kill me
My woman’s a bitch when she’s moody
However she’s my every little thing, she’s all that I want
Generally greater than I would like, need, need
Co-written with GRAMMY-winner Amy Allen and produced by Blake Slatkin, “moody” is one heck of a fever dream. It faucets into that chaotic, obsessive, impossible-to-win form of relationship – the sort that makes you’re feeling such as you’re spiraling, whilst you’re grinning by the chaos. “She’s at all times givin’ it to me / Late nights, she at all times accusin’ / Final time, she stated she would kill me / My woman’s a bitch when she’s moody,” Royel Maddell sings, earlier than undercutting the entire thing with a deadpan shrug: “However she’s my every little thing, she’s all that I want / Generally greater than I would like.”
There’s a wink behind the weariness, a smirk beneath the self-loathing. That’s the Royel Otis candy spot – undeniably and irresistibly catchy, simply self-aware sufficient to sting, and inconceivable not to sing alongside to. “moody” seems like a misplaced ‘90s alt-rock gem filtered by 2025’s lo-fi lens – all jangle, pulse, and punch. It’s each a throwback and a press release: These guys know precisely what they’re doing, they usually’re having a blast doing it.
Questions are loaded, her face says lots
She’s cryptically coated, she’s residence once I’m not
It’s simply massive feelings, it’s not jealousy
Most days of the week
She’s at all times givin’ it to me
Late nights, she at all times accusin’
Final time, she stated she would kill me
My woman’s a bitch when she’s moody
However she’s my every little thing, she’s all that I want
Generally greater than I would like, need, need
That sense of managed chaos has outlined Royel Otis’ rise over the previous two years – from buzzy covers (“Homicide on the Dancefloor,” “Linger”) to breakout originals to sold-out headline excursions and now, a much-anticipated sophomore album. hickey, out August 22nd through OURNESS / Capitol Data, guarantees extra of what Royel Maddell and Otis Pavlovic do greatest: Loud, intelligent, emotionally unruly songs that persist with your pores and skin. “moody” is just the start – a warning shot to look out for all that’s to return.
And whereas it ought to go with out saying: Don’t use this music as an excuse to name your beloved a you-know-what. However do flip it up, scream it out, and revel within the stunning chaos of wanting somebody a bit too a lot. Royel Otis have written the summer season’s sharpest, snarkiest love music – they usually’ve by no means sounded extra in command of the spiral.
True to its title, “moody” is f*ing moody in the absolute best approach – and it’s a worthy anthem to earn Royel Otis their very first #1.
Making her eyes rolls
On her bottom, so
Being alone at residence
However I can’t let it go
No, I can’t let it go
She’s at all times givin’ it to me
Late nights, she at all times accusin’
Final time, she stated she would kill me
My woman’s a bitch when she’s—
She’s at all times givin’ it to me
Late nights, she at all times accusin’
Final time, she stated she would kill me
My woman’s a bitch when she’s moody
However she’s my every little thing, she’s all that I want
Generally greater than I would like, need, need
“Mystical Magical”
by Benson Boone
Benson Boone isn’t simply evolving; he’s ascending. “Mystical Magical” finds the Grammy-nominated hitmaker shedding his heart-on-sleeve, brooding balladeer picture and stepping absolutely into the highlight as a flamboyant, feverish pop star. The music is dramatic, cinematic, and over-the-top in all the best methods – a wild, whirling anthem that brings collectively Bowie’s glam, Freddie’s flamboyance, and Boone’s personal breathless bravado. From the primary observe, it’s clear: His sophomore album American Coronary heart marks a daring new chapter, and “Mystical Magical” is its glittering gateway.
There’s nothing colder than your shoulder
Whenever you’re dragging me alongside
such as you do, such as you do
And then you definately swap up with no warnin’
And also you kiss me such as you need it,
how impolite, how impolite
However I kinda prefer it in any case
I don’t thoughts if that is gonna take one million days
I do know you’ll come round to me ultimately
If you happen to sit again, chill out,
and be a part of my firm, my firm
Boone has at all times recognized tips on how to stir emotion, however this time, he’s doing it in sequins and smoke. “Moonbeam ice cream, taking off your blue denims / Dancing on the motion pictures, ‘trigger it feels so mystical, magical, oh, child, ‘trigger as soon as you realize, as soon as you realize…” he croons, throwing warning – and readability – to the wind. The lyrics don’t must make sense; they only must really feel proper. “Idk wtf moonbeam ice cream is but it surely felt proper,” he joked on-line. “Go away me alone.” And but in some way, that phrase captures all the spirit of the music – chaotic, sensual, euphoric, and utterly unconcerned with being understood.
As soon as you realize what my love’s gonna really feel like
Nothing else will really feel proper, you may really feel like
Moonbeam ice cream, taking off your blue denims
Dancing on the motion pictures, ’trigger it feels so
Mystical, magical
Oh, child, ’trigger as soon as you realize, as soon as you realize
My love is so mystical, magical
Oh, child, ’trigger as soon as you realize, as soon as you realize
There’s no holding again right here – not within the music, and positively not onstage. An acrobat in each music and actual life, Boone is performing like a person possessed: Leaping, flipping, dancing by want with athletic grace and theatrical hearth. Recent off his electrifying American Music Awards and Saturday Evening Reside performances (full with backflips off Jimmy Fallon’s desk), Boone is now absolutely leaning into spectacle. “Mystical Magical” isn’t only a music – it’s a showstopper. A dizzying, high-drama experience of want and confident seduction, delivered with poise, polish, and a complete lot of sweaty, steamy, glitter-slicked confidence.
My little hard-to-get child
I wanna provide the world
Not saying you gotta chase me
However I wouldn’t thoughts it
If you happen to gave me just a bit bit
Of one thing we will work it with
However all you do is push me out (Ha)
However I prefer it in any case
‘Trigger I believe I’m getting nearer to you daily
I do know you’ll come round to me ultimately
Simply sit again, chill out, and be a part of my firm
Oh, child, belief me
If “Stunning Issues” was Boone’s breakout torch music, that is his glam-pop rebirth. He’s not simply singing about emotion – he’s embodying it. Wailing. Spinning. Teasing. Tempting. “As soon as you realize what my love’s gonna really feel like / Nothing else will really feel proper,” he sings, and for a second, you consider him. As a result of this music doesn’t simply need to impress you – it desires to swallow you entire.
With “Mystical Magical,” Benson Boone takes a leap and sticks the touchdown – onerous. It’s daring, it’s bombastic, and it’s not like anything on the charts proper now. Pop music wants artists prepared to be this additional – and Boone’s simply getting began. If that is what moonbeam ice cream tastes like, I’ll take two scoops and a stadium tour.
As soon as you realize what my love’s gonna really feel like
Nothing else will really feel proper, you may really feel like
Moonbeam ice cream, taking off your blue denims
Dancing on the motion pictures, ’trigger it feels so
Mystical, magical
Oh, child, ’trigger as soon as you realize, as soon as you realize
My love is so mystical, magical
Oh, child, ’trigger as soon as you realize, as soon as you realize
