1950
by King Princess

I hate it when dudes try to chase me
But I love it when you try to save me
'Cause I'm just a lady

I love it when we play 1950
It's so cold that your stare's 'bout to kill me
I'm surprised when you kiss me

So tell me why my gods look like you
And tell me why it's wrong

So I'll wait for you, I'll pray
I will keep on waiting for your love
For you, I'll wait
I will keep on waiting for your

Did you mean it when you said I was pretty?
That you didn't wanna live in a city
Where the people are shitty?

I like it when we play 1950
So bold, make them know that you're with me
Stone cold, will you miss me?

So tell me why my gods look like you
And tell me why it's wrong

So I'll wait for you, I'll pray
I will keep on waiting for your love
For you, I'll wait
I will keep on waiting for your

I hope that you're happy with me in your life
I hope that you won't slip away in the night
I hope that you're happy with me in your life I hope that you won't slip away
I hate it when dudes try to chase me
I love it when you try to save me
'Cause I'm just a lady

So tell me why my gods look like you
And tell me why it's wrong

So I'll wait for you, I'll pray
I will keep on waiting for your love (for your love, for your love, for your love)
For you, I'll wait
I will keep on waiting for your

Born Mikaela Strauss, the Brooklyn-based artist was a young music prodigy, reportedly offered a record deal when she was just 11. She studied at USC before leaving school to pursue a music career. Early songs like "Send Pix" and "Sunburn" featured a more bluesy rock tone, one that she would polish on her 2018 breakthrough, "1950." The queer love anthem received cosigns from the likes of Harry Styles and Halsey and was her first release for Mark Ronson's Zelig Recordings label. She followed with her second single, "Talia."
