about
A joyful, sassy summer bop that'll satisfy everyone's pop cravings. The track further expands the expectations of what the Brighton, UK duo are capable of. Hanni and Clara's writing has transcended genre, moving from punk to alt-rock, with this track seamlessly celebrating ARXX's pop edge. The song's bold “good vibes only” brightness is playfully juxtaposed by its cutting lyrical intent.
lyrics
Baby, won’t you calm down
Got to listen, I’ve got to get this out
I’m sorry, but I don’t regret it
And I hate it, but I meant it
Somebody told you I’m here with her
And we are getting on too well
And I couldn’t help it
I couldn’t help myself
I couldn’t help myself
I know it must be hell
Seeing me with someone else
I woke up in my own house
And it looks the same but things feel different now I’m not surprised when you tear me in two
And I realise, what, it’s not me it’s …
You lose your mind and ask me all the time
How can I stand myself
When I could have done it
With anyone else
I couldn’t help myself
I know it must be hell
Seeing me with someone else
When it ended it felt so disappointing
You left me wanting more
Baby I don’t hate you, but I don’t love you anymore
Someone told you I’m here with her
And we’re getting on too well
And I couldn’t help
Couldn’t help myself
I know it must be hell
Seeing me with someone else
Couldn’t help myself (I couldn’t help, I couldn’t help)
