Woo, baby (mmh)

I'ma make you my decision
I'ma put you on the floor
Leave you wanting

I can see it in your eyes
You're nervous, but you know just what you want (ah, ah, ah)
If you're feeling scared, that's fine (that's fine)
I've got no problem taking full control
Baby

I'ma make you my, I'ma make you my

Why you tryin' to fight what's right? (mmh)
(What's right, what's right, what's right)
You know I'm 'bout to change your life for good
You can play pretend (mmh), that's fine (that's fine)
I know the truth, you really wish you would

Tear it into tiny pieces
One more falling star

she’s such a versatile artist. she started with the angsty, sad-pop. went onto power pop. then created what we know today as hyperpop and now she’s on her mainstream pop girl era… that’s a fucking winner in my eyes

@josepedropaisdiaz328

And the best is that this isn't mainstream pop as we know, I felt like this era is giving a huge mix of multiple eras of pop

@dahell

she didn't create hyperpop and her other music is pretty mid but go off ig

@TylerLethersin

@Jose Pedro Pais Diaz she said she was inspired by Janet Jackson for this era & that’s why it’s so 80’s / early 90’s in certain songs. I know she’s about to leave her label so she’s doing the most “main stream” album to end on a good note with her label. Y’all forget she was in label hell I didn’t put an album out for a min & yeah she put out some of the best work in her catalog (the mixtapes), but this is her breakup album, you can tell she put a lot of heart into the last album & it was mostly about her being happy, this record she’s clear sad & dead inside, she’s playing this evil kinda character but I could tell like she doesn’t really care at this point, the album is going to do well & it’s so easy to see thru.
