For anyone wondering, the reason why it is called Bubble Gum, is because instead of the girl (speaking from her point of view) trying to reach out to this person she falls in love with, she’s tremendously nervous and insecure. She hides her emotions and doesn't confess her love. She regrets this greatly, because once she’s built the courage to confess, it’s too late. So in conclusion as to why it's called Bubble Gum, is because instead of enjoying the bubble gum, she swallows it. Just like instead of verbalizing her emotions, she swallows them.

Edit: A lot of people are pointing out that this song also says, ‘These 7 years will be pretty dumb’ and that goes with the myth that gum takes 7 years to break down/fully be digested. She’ll be thinking about this in guilt for a long time. Another thing pointed out by a brilliant person, was ‘Pink flowers grow from my skin’, which could refer to the (fictional) Hanahaki disease, where the victim begins to cough up flowers and petals start growing in their lungs and body. Just a theory.

"Pepto bismal veins and i grin"
" you look so nice in your shirt"
" its sad because it just hurts"
"Id do anything for you"
"But would you do that for me too?"

"I swallowed the bubblegum"


*Me when I was 6*

This song always has people beautifully explaining how much they love someone, and I just really love reading them, they give me an emotion I cannot explain

[anahi]

I have a crush and today i told him how i felt and he said he already knew and he wanted to stay friends. Me and my friends gave him a code name...it was bubble gum.

[callmeevelyn]

[nurshafiqa]

your taste in music is my aesthetic. thanks.

[marigold]

This song reminds me of 2019, where I was having fun with my friends, running around like kids, and both me and my bestfriend having feelings for each other but we both stayed quiet. It's now 2021 a few minutes before my birthday, we dont talk anymore but it's nice to remember our memories

[yukira]

anyone else hear this sniff at the beginning? Like she was crying?

[raeleelol]

thiS IS LITERALLY ONE OF MY FAVORITE SONGS
THANK YOU

[bilroy]

The fact that you hear her finish crying and whisper "It's okay" at the start..

[lolok]

whenever i hear this song it makes me regret ignoring my grandma who passed away 2 years ago, she tried to call me everyday so we can ask how we're doing and i hate how my past old self would always ignore her calls, i wish i can go to her grave and say sorry to everything i did. all i can remember was telling her my favorite poem back when i was in 2nd grade and i hope that she's okay now whenever she was. I'm sorry gramps i love you

"Pink flowers grow from my skin."
I think she referenced Hanahaki disease which is where the victim suffers from one sided love

[poomalooma]

Am I the only one that hasn’t seen that many flavors of Hubba bubba bubble gum

[katsumieee]

I used to just listen to this before just a calming music. But now it hits me deep.
