lyrics

it's like
everyone's got an opinion
about how i'm "doing it wrong"
"you just need to put yourself out there, man"
"you only need one hit song?"
"well have you thought about branding?"
"what about an actual tour?"
"i know a friend who works with Father John Misty.
Maybe he could open a door."

forget about genre
remember the mantra
it's all about shaking your ass
make something human
show me your flaws
and oh yeah i wanna see you dance

i know a girl in Detroit
she makes lo-fi hip-hop beats
one of her songs got on a playlist
its got over a billion streams
right now its never been easier
online ads are super cheap
"you know, you could always be a DJ
or make techno bloops and bleeps."

forget about genre
remember the mantra
it's all about shaking your ass
make something human
show me your flaws
and oh yeah i wanna see you dance
forget about genre
remember the mantra
it's all about taking a chance
make something human
show me your flaws
and oh yeah i wanna see you dance

i know, i know
you just want to see me succeed
and to you, well, maybe it looks like i'm not trying
but i write songs because i have to
and i write songs because i love it
and when i'm singing in a crowded room
i want you to be with me in the moment
and i write songs because i love to sing
and i write songs because i love to dance
and i write songs because it makes me happy
and i don't need you to understand
and i write songs because i love to sing
and i write songs because i love to dance
and i write songs because it makes me happy
and i don't need you to understand

forget about genre
remember the mantra
it's all about shaking your ass
make something human
show me your flaws
and oh yeah i wanna see you dance
forget about genre
remember the mantra
it's all about shaking your ass
remember the mantra
remember the mantra
remember the mantra
remember
