It was later taken down, but Isaac teased snippets of an official version on Instagram with intentions of a full release. After posting these snippets, “Blonde” was released to all platforms on November 13, 2018.
“‘blonde’ was one of the first songs that I made for the EP as well. I made it in February 2018 during one of my first studio sessions ever with this guy named Zach Seamen and this guy named Roger Kleinman. I wasn’t really happy with how it sounded that day. I took some of the stems and recorded all the vocals back at home and transformed it into what it is now. And it’s kind of more of like an upbeat club banger. All the best songs come from my bedroom.“

Isaac Dunbar Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
(Crowned and cool)
Bound to drool
(Bound to drool)
Over her
(Over her, her, her)
Palace rule
(Palace rule)
(Be her fool)
Or murder
(Or murder)
Give me another taste
Of what its like to waste years with you
(Years with you, years with you)
Coloring in my face
Trying to match your shade of blue
(Match your shade of blue)
Ugh!
Lately, I′ve been missing blonde
Mrs. Louis Vuitton
Wanting the whole world
Let her ruin my emotions
Couple of demotions
Taking the whole world
Ew!
Follow
(Follow)
Her ego
(Her ego)
Just for fun
(Just for fun)
Let it snow
(Let it snow)
Watch her go
(Watch her go)
Home and run
(Home and run)
Give me another taste
Of what its like to waste years with you
(Years with you, years with you)
Coloring in my face
Trying to match your shade of blue
(That ain't your shade of blue!)
Ugh, ew!
Lately, I′ve been missing blonde
Mrs. Louis Vuitton
Wanting the whole world
Let her ruin my emotions
Couple of demotions
Taking the whole world
Lately, I've been missing blonde
Mrs. Louis Vuitton
Wanting the whole world
Let her ruin my emotions
Couple of demotions
Taking the whole world
The lyrics to Isaac Dunbar's song 'Blonde' seems to be about the singer's attraction to a woman who embodies a certain kind of beauty and power that he finds irresistible, but also potentially dangerous. The opening lines "Crowned and cool/Bound to drool/Over her/Palace rule/Be her fool/Or murder" suggest this woman is regal and commanding, and the singer is willing to submit himself to her, even if it leads to his downfall. He wants to experience more of the wasted time spent with her and her influence on him, represented by the coloring of his face with her shade of blue. The use of the interjections "ugh" and "ew" implies a sense of disgust or discomfort with his desire for her despite its potential harms.
The chorus repeats the phrase "Lately, I've been missing blonde/Mrs. Louis Vuitton/Wanting the whole world/Let her ruin my emotions/Couple of demotions/Taking the whole world", emphasizing how powerful the woman is and how much the singer wants her despite his reservations. He is missing her, craving the feeling of being under her influence even though it has caused him "couple of demotions" or relationships downfalls, and he is willing to let her "ruin" his emotions, even if it means losing everything else.
Overall, the song is a complex exploration of desire and attraction, showcasing the singer's willingness to give in to someone who may not have his best interests at heart, and the potentially self-destructive nature of falling for someone purely based on their appearance and power.
