I love this so much and honestly it heals me as a black girl with a similar vibe need to see more of this style it's like marina and the diamonds meets Jack stauber amazing

[LoiterYT]

the visuals remind me of an old 90s instructional tape they'd show us in elementary school, I love it

[witchplease]

“My kindness is of a false pretense, I got the ego of a GOD” MY KIND OF WOMAN !!!

[weaversong]

if jack stauber was an art movement, hemlocke is the second wave <3

[memoriam.victoriam]

it’s so rare that the rest of the song is as good as what goes viral on tiktok this is amazing

[jaxsonsmith]

Hemlocke makes me so excited, like a lot of artists atm aren’t taking risks. They are taking themselves too serious and not just be dumb and having fun. You can tell she is having so much fun and just doing what she wants.

When i first heard this I genuinely thought it was a new Gorillaz song that just came out. And I'm a Gorillaz fan, this is THAT good

[twominutenoodles]

As a gen z who listens to SO MUCH 80s synth, seeing a new artist who makes music like this is getting me so excited! I cant wait to see her more of her music and growth, I hope she sticks to her originality <3

[shark_bee]

THE VIBES, THE VOICE, EVERYTHING IS PERFECT

[septimaespada]

Am I the only one smiling all throughout watching this? This song is gonna rule my life for a bit.

[angelgrlz]

I LOVE HER VOICE OML I LOVE HOW IT CAN BE SO SOFT AND THEN TURN SO DEEP BUT LIKE IN A GOOD WAY⁉️

[DylanBalzanHenry]

Thank you for opening for Doja in the UK!! Loved seeing you on stage <3

[ghoulboss]

the production on this is so unique, its such a breath of fresh air

[hunterc]

Just the fact that this girl was able to make such a bop in her bedroom is just CRAZY

*LYRICS:*

You say, "I want to be your girlfriend"
It wasn't really in my plans
When you're around, I got arrhythmia
So in the end, I play pretend

You've got the (uh) of a cool dude
But you should know I like it hot
But if there's really no denying what this is
Then come on, let's give it a shot (can you hear me?)

Well, I know
You say, "I want to be your, your girlfriend"
You say, "I want to be your, your girl"
You say, "I want to be your, your girlfriend"

Well, it all depends
You say, "I want to be your girlfriend"
But do you want to be my man?

I'll treat you like you are a carry on (carry on, carry on)
Like you're my one and only fan (oh my God, I love you)
My kindness is of a false pretense
I've got the ego of a God

But if you take me in your arms
Be confident
I commit a character fraud
Stop, stop, stop

Well, oh, oh
You say, "I want to be your, your girlfriend"
You say, "I want to be your, your girl"
You say, "I want to be your, your girlfriend"
It wasn't really in my plans
Eh, eh

Oh, oh
Oh
Two, three, four

Secretly I'm aiming for a rhythm that exceeds my expectations
Am I ever gonna get it?
Your girl is in the businesses so there's little room for idle contemplation
(Yeah, yeah, yeah)
With you, oh

You say, "I want to be your, your girlfriend"
You say, "I want to be your, your girl"

You say, "I want to be your, your girlfriend"
You say, "I want to be your, your girl"

You say, "I want to be your, your girlfriend"
You say, "I want to be your, your girl"

You say, "I want to be your, your girlfriend"
It wasn't really in my plans

[Sofficial]

As someone who's stuggled with adhd and autism my whole life the line "Secretly I'm aiming for a rhythm that exceeds my expectations" hits way too hard

[melomane]

This is legit 80’s synth pop greatness. The chaotic layered pre-verse vocals after the first chorus needed to be exploited more because that’s a brilliant hook.

[prithyachan]

This looks like something that would be released 13 years ago and not 13 days ago and I say that in a good way. An iconic kinda way. Beautiful af.

[eohcihtog]

Secretly I’m aiming for a rhythm that exCEEDS MY EXPECTATIONS 🗣️

[nisipisa]
