about
A retro pop song inspired by iconic 80's artists like Cyndi Lauper. The idea was to write a song conveying the innocense of a teenage crush set to high-spirited music - endearing elements of past pop culture that many of today's stars have replaced with uncultivated, attention-seeking vulgarity.
Recording and mixing this song was my final project when I studied at School of Audio Engineering.
lyrics
"Lying on my bed, looking at his picture
All the girls agree he's cutest boy in town
This boy and me - us hooking up is fiction
All the girls foresee he's gonna turn me down
But I, I'll show them
I'll show everyone!
Who said the boy is out of my league?
I won't just get him intrigued
I'll sweep him off of his feet - yeah!
Who said I can't be the girl of his dreams?
I hear I don't have a shot
But I'll give it all that I got - yeah!
Next day in school, I spot him by his locker
I pick up my nerve as I'm closing in
This girl right here - nothing's gonna stop her
The others they look on, watching me begin
And I, I'll show them
I'll show everyone!
There's no way I will ever believe
What they say about you being too hot for me
I got a lot that has yet to be seen
And when I show you then I know you will wanna be with me!"

Absolutely iconic soundtrack, literal hundreds of hours spent listening to this (mostly ingame mind you, but i’ve put it on in other situations)
I’m shocked i didn’t buy this earlier. 8baller
