Nasri described the chemistry between himself and Pelli as "different than writing chemistry, it was more artistic." A few weeks later, while Mark played a reggae tune on the guitar, Nasri suggested to start a band like "modern-day Police. 2012

And put on my best suit
Got in my car and raced like a jet
All the way to you
Knocked on your door with heart in my hand
To ask you a question
'Cause I know that you're an old fashioned man
Yeah (yeah)
Can I have your daughter for the rest of my life?
Say yes, say yes, 'cause I need to know
You say I'll never get your blessin' 'til the day I die
"Tough luck, my friend, but the answer is no"
Why you gotta be so rude?
Don't you know I'm human too?
Why you gotta be so rude?
I'm gonna marry her anyway
(Marry that girl) marry her anyway
(Marry that girl) yeah, no matter what you say
(Marry that girl) and we'll be a family
Why you gotta be so rude?
I hate to do this, you leave no choice
Can't live without her
Love me or hate me, we will be both
Standin' at that alter
Or we will run away
To another galaxy, you know
You know she's in love with me
She will go anywhere I go
Can I have your daughter for the rest of my life?
Say yes, say yes, 'cause I need to know
You say I'll never get your blessin' 'tll the day I die
"Tough luck, my friend, 'cause the answer's still no"
Why you gotta be so rude?

The lyrics of 'Rude' by MAGIC! describe a man who is eager to propose to his girlfriend, but her father refuses to grant him permission. He narrates how he puts on his best suit, races to his girlfriend's home with his heart in his hand, and knocks on her father's door, hoping to get permission to marry his daughter. However, the father sees the man's request as inappropriate and denies him permission, even telling him that he'll never grant him permission 'til the day he dies. The man is frustrated by this and asks why the father has to be so rude, then declares that he's going to marry her anyway, despite her father's opposition.
The song's lyrics signify a timeless occasion where one man stands before another, tearfully asking permission to marry the woman of his dreams. It portrays a world where love is strong and all that matters is the two people involved, rather than the opinions of outsiders. The lyrics suggest that nothing should come between two people in love, not even the opinions of their loved ones.
