Raised on a steady diet of ‘90s grunge, the sisters inherited a lot of their early music taste from their father, as well as many rounds of the video game Rock Band. As they grew older, their music interests became even more intertwined. “We’ll never complain about who has the aux cord,” says Hallie with a laugh. The duo are going for it every way they can; along with future song releases on the horizon, they’re more than ready to tour and play for crowds again. “We really shine when we play live,” says Hallie. “We’re excited to show everyone how fun our concerts can be.”
Beyond that, the two just want Good Boy Daisy to be known to the world. “As a band, we hope to become the coolest household name,” says Dylinn. “We’re real people,” says Hallie, “and I can’t wait for everyone to know who we are.”

Good Boy Daisy Lyrics

And I′ll take the blame when you wanna fight
You can't be saved, we′re not the same
I'm sick to my stomach, 'cause you fed me your pain
I let you, let you panic
I left you, left you manic
(One, two)
I left ′cause you′re selfish
You always needed control
'Cause you got jealous
And fuckin′ blew up my phone
You looked pathetic
You're probably better alone
′Cause misery loves company just like you
I left 'cause you′re selfish
I left, I left 'cause you're selfish
I tried to warn you, you started fires
Burning bridges like a mission and I′m running from the light
The fumes are toxic, coughing up blood (coughing up blood)
′Cause I'll be safe where you are not
And that′s enough (and that's enough)
I left ′cause you're selfish
You always needed control
′Cause you got jealous
And fuckin' blew up my phone
You looked pathetic
You're probably better alone
′Cause misery loves company just like you
I left ′cause you're selfish
You promised you would try to make us better
But hung a web of lies to tie us together
You′re fatally flawed
'Cause misery loves company just like you
I left ′cause you're selfish
You always needed control
′Cause you got jealous
And fuckin' blew up my phone
You looked pathetic
You're probably better alone
′Cause misery loves company just like you
I left ′cause you're selfish
I left, I left ′cause you're selfish
′Cause misery loves company just like you
I left 'cause you′re selfish
The lyrics of "Selfish" by Good Boy Daisy narrate the story of a painful and toxic relationship that has come to an end. In the first verse, the singer acknowledges that their partner was manipulative and judgmental, and they always took the blame in the arguments. The chorus emphasizes that the reason she left was that her partner was too selfish and always needed control in the relationship. He was jealous and called her incessantly, which made him look "pathetic." The singer argues that "misery loves company," and her partner is no different.
The second verse continues to highlight the partner's negative traits: he started arguments and caused issues repeatedly. The singer compares the relationship to a burning bridge as he creates a toxic environment that is suffocating her. She left him because of his selfish behavior and holds her ground, as being away from him is the only way she will be "safe." The final verse speaks to the lies that the singer's partner told to keep them together. It ends with the singer asserting that "misery loves company just like you," thereby exposing her former partner's negative character.
Overall the song communicates themes such as self-worth and knowing when to leave a toxic relationship. It highlights the pressure and negativity that can be felt in a relationship where one partner is always trying to control the other.

You picked a side, you picked me apart
You made a choice and tore me down
And I'll take the blame when you wanna fight
I'll always be the one apologizing when we argue
You can't be saved, we're not the same
You refuse to change and we're not compatible
I'm sick to my stomach, 'cause you fed me your pain
You burdened me with your emotional pain
I let you, let you panic
I allowed you to freak out
I left you, left you manic
I left you in a frenzied state
I left 'cause you're selfish

You always needed control
You constantly needed to be in charge
'Cause you got jealous
You became envious
And fuckin' blew up my phone
You incessantly called and texted me
You looked pathetic
You appeared desperate and pitiful
You're probably better alone
You might be better off by yourself
'Cause misery loves company just like you
You enjoy dragging others down with you
I tried to warn you, you started fires
I gave you a heads up, but you initiated conflicts
Burning bridges like a mission and I'm running from the light
You intentionally destroy relationships and I'm distancing myself
The fumes are toxic, coughing up blood (coughing up blood)
The effects of our relationship are detrimental to my health
'Cause I'll be safe where you are not
I'll be in a better place without you
And that's enough (and that's enough)
And I don't need anything more
You promised you would try to make us better
You claimed you would work to improve our relationship
But hung a web of lies to tie us together
But in reality, you deceived me to keep me close
You're fatally flawed
You have a major character flaw
'Cause misery loves company just like you
Because you derive satisfaction from dragging others down with you

Yes, they are!
My buddy actually got to bond with the band back in the days when they were first starting out.
You knew what attracted him to them?
As he was walking through the Tempe Marketplace, he heard their cover of "Zombie" by The Cranberries.
R.I.P., Delores O'Riordan!
Love you!
You will be forever missed!
