After he went viral with the R&B-inflected "Goodie Bag" in 2017, he continued to release one-off tracks until presenting the Lately EP in 2019. It included another streaming hit, "Habit."
Growing up in Moraga, California, Gamsky began playing the guitar in middle school and recording his own music when he was 13. While in high school, he played guitar and bass in the band Shoot the Roots, which also featured classmates Cole Leksan and Jack Morris. After graduating in 2010, Gamsky played in the indie rock band Feed Me Jack and gave guitar lessons while attending the University of California, Santa Cruz. As a music major, he studied classical guitar while minoring in electronic music. He completed his degree in 2015, and Feed Me Jack called it quits the following year.
Gamsky debuted his solo project, Still Woozy, with the warped and jazzy "Vacation" in April 2017, following it weeks later with "Cooks," which proved to be a streaming breakthrough. Later the same year, the highly stylized soul of "Goodie Bag" became an even bigger online hit, amassing tens of millions of streams. He released periodic singles over the next year-and-a-half until landing a distribution deal with Interscope for his label Still Woozy Productions. They released the debut EP Lately EP in May 2019. It contained "Habit," which became his biggest hit since "Goodie Bag."
Still Woozy returned with more original material in 2020, including "Window" and "Cheesin'," the latter a collaborative track for Republic Records with artists including Cautious Clay, Remi Wolf, and Claud. Back on his own, he kicked off 2021 with "Rocky."
Get Down
Still Woozy Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I wanna get
She's gonna break me
But I don't give a damn right now
She wanna get down, I wanna get down
We're gonna get down, so
She's gonna take me
She wanna get down, I wanna get down
We're gonna get down, so
She gave me a look that made me sweat
I think about it and I won't forget
Your hips locked into mine
And we're takin' our time, yeah, so slowly
And then we get on the ATV (vroom)
I could feel you hangin' onto me
To the black sand beach of Santorini
Like slow it
No way that I could ever hold back
With you comin' like that, you comin' like that
She's gonna break me
But I don't give a damn right now
She wanna get down, I wanna get down
We're gonna get down, so
She's gonna take me
It ain't even a thing right now
She wanna get down, I wanna get down
We're gonna get down, so
I could not think of goin' back
Too late, too late, I'm on the track
I'm gonna quit my job
I hope you do too
I had you on the dance floor
I swear, I swear, it was in the air
Well, some things are just not fair
No way that I could ever hold back
With you comin' like that, you comin' like that
She's gonna break me
But I don't give a damn right now
She wanna get down, I wanna get down
We're gonna get down, so
She's gonna take me
It ain't even a thing right now
She wanna get down, I wanna get down
We're gonna get down, so
(We're gonna get down)
