This song was what they call a sneeze, like it all came out at once. It was really fast. It was essentially done in two days, the whole thing. “You’re so hot you’re hurting my feelings” was something I told someone in a moment where someone was looking painfully hot, and I was laughing about it for a couple of days afterwards and had a writing session set up with Dan Nigro and Teddy Geiger. Before I even went into the session I was like, “We have to use this line. It’s the chorus of something.” And the most fun part of the song to write was the pre-chorus because at this point I was almost done writing my album called, ‘Pang,’ and I was just sick of rhyme structures. So, I was like, let’s write a pre-chorus with no rhymes and make it one long run-on sentence. The verse was a big question mark because the other parts were so melodically dense. Then, Teddy had this idea just to keep the verse really spare. Just a one note thing that just hangs out there and that gives us a little breathing room for all the singing.
