California native Claire Rosinkranz is best known for her lo-fi pop EP BeVerly Hills BoYfRiEnd, which includes Backyard Boy; her massive viral hit.
Her overnight success might not come as a surprise to all, as Rosinkranz has been writing songs since she was 8.

Her overnight success might not come as a surprise to all, as Rosinkranz has been writing songs since she was 8. Filling notebooks and iPads with lyrics, turns of phrase, and poems, the homeschooled artist would spend hours writing lyrics to songs that didnโt exist yet. Sometimes, sheโd help her musician father, Ragnar, with melodies and lyrics for songs heโd been tasked to compose for TV shows and ad jingles.
Claire describes her style as alternative blues-pop, equally as inspired by early influences (like The Beatlesโ Help!, Frank Ocean, and the Jack Johnson songs the family would listen to around the house) as it is by the singer-songwriterโs contemporaries, like Benee, Bruno Major, and Still Woozy.
Claire traffics in lo-fi songs with intricate yet totally relatable lyrics about friendship, crushes, family, and feelings. They plumb the depths of the human condition in very short bursts, exposing the songwriterโs remarkable emotional maturity and strong, singular grasp on her sound. Narratively, tracks like โTough Guyโ and โSeriouslaaayโ follow Claireโs stories from start to finish while Ragnarโs clean, crisp production buoys his daughterโs crystal-clear vocals. โHe totally captures my vision and if I donโt like something, Iโm not afraid to say it,โ Claire says of her dad. โBecause weโre able to communicate so well, the process happens so quickly.โ
The โstar of the show,โ Claire says of her catalogue, is โBackyard Boy,โ the final song she wrote for the EP and one that grew legs of its own shortly after release, achieving massive viral success all on its own. โI was getting DMs from people telling me that โBackyard Boyโ was doing really well on TikTok,โ she remembers. โThen, friends started texting me. Then more people were texting me. So I opened TikTok and I had 300,000 videos under the song and realized, โOh, this is a thing!โ
Signing to slowplay/Republic Records in 2020, Claire realized the work and dedication sheโd been putting into music for half her life was coming to fruition. In August, she shot the โBackyard Boyโ music video but kept things close to the family, as sheโs done for years (itโs directed by her uncle, the first AD is her cousin, and close family friends star alongside her onscreen). โI think people are connecting to that song because itโs about a feeling you long for, especially during this time,โ she says. โEveryone wants to have this experience but itโs something we canโt have right now because of COVID. But โBackyard Boyโ makes you feel like you can.โ
Claire has spent a few years drilling down on her craft by refining her songwriting and learning to play instruments like the ukulele, the piano, and the jazz electric guitar (โthatโs the one I absolutely enjoy the most,โ she says), which have helped her turn her lyrics into fully imagined soundscapes. โI consider myself a writer first and foremost,โ sheโs quick to note. โIโm super fortunate to be able to sing all my songs, and I want to sing them, but writing is my favorite part of the entire process.โ

Backyard Boy
Claire Rosinkranz Lyrics
Five, six, seven, eight
Dance with me in my backyard, boy
Looking super fine in your corduroy
Drive me 'round the block
We can go in a loop
And we'll turn the volume up
On some good boy band tunes
Love to feel the fresh air
I can feel your eyes stare
And I'm not gonna lie
I get a little bit scared
My heart is on wings
I'm living in dreams
And at the top of our lungs we sing
Da da da da da da
Da da da da da da
Everything is perfect
Da da da da da da
Da da da da da da
All our words were worth it
Da da da da da da
Da da da da da da
Dancing around like a clown at the circus
Da da da da da da
Da da da da da da
Backyard boy you make me nervous
Dance with me in my backyard, boy
Looking super fine in your corduroy (five, six, seven, eight)
Roll the windows down
Let the bass drop low
And everybody's talking
But I don't wanna know
Feel the fresh air
I can feel your eyes stare
And I'm not gonna lie
I get a little bit scared
My heart is on wings
I'm living in dreams
And at the top of our lungs we sing
Da da da da da da
Da da da da da da
Everything is perfect
Da da da da da da
Da da da da da da
All our words were worth it
Da da da da da da
Da da da da da da
Dancing around like a clown at the circus
Da da da da da da
Da da da da da da
Backyard boy, you make me nervous
Right now?

@Fr0gg0~Fr13nd replying late, but most people would choose Heaven. Heaven is eternal freedom, happiness and joy. hell is eternal suffering, pain, sadness,.. worse than on this earth. most people wouldn't want that even if they don't believe God exists. people tend to gravitate towards the positive than negative is what hes saying basically.

This song makes me feel like life isnโt actually so bad.
