If we don't fuck this whole thing up
guaranteed

I can blow your mind.
Mwah!

Mwah! Mwah!

Mwah!

When I was younger I used to do like
a bit of modeling, and it never really went

well, but the people were like, "Oh, if you
want to be successful in modeling you have

to lose lots of weight."

And it was something that essentially didn't
make me happy, but I felt like I had to change

myself in order to become something that I
wasn't and something that didn't make me feel

happy in the end.

It was something that obviously wasn't right
for me. It's definitely inspired a bit by that.

Cause, I wrote the song in L.A. with a woman
called Lauren Christy and a guy called Jon Levine.

Together, like we wrote this and we were like,
"Why don't we just write about being happy

in your skin and being proud of who you are?"

If someone...

In this instance, it was a relationship, but
the main meaning that I wanted to get behind

it was the whole idea that, you know, you
have to be proud of who you are and not listen

to anyone that wants you to fit some sort
of criteria or certain type of box

because society tells you to.

It's a bit sassy.

And it's kind of not being afraid, and it's
a bit empowering to be like

"Yeah I know we're hot.

I know we've got something
that money can't buy."

It's like being really secure in yourself
even though at some point you probably weren't.

People have told me that I'm crazy for wanting
to chase music.

Especially in Kosovo.

I know so many people that just want a normal
life.

You go to uni, you finish uni.

Just life goes on as normal, but for me I've
always seen myself as wanting to do something

so different.

You think that I've changed, but just my aspirations
have just gotten bigger that in a way, they

frighten you.

The things that remain the same are always
my friends and my family that always will

keep me grounded.

And I'm not really living in this Alice in
Wonderland life, which I am most of the time.

Because reality is kind of turning into a
bit of a dream.

It's everything I've ever wanted so those
kind of nice family things that stay the same,

always.

Ok so youâre in the heat of the argument
now.

At this point.

And you're like, "OK if you have such a problem
with me, and who I want to become and if you

see my aspirations of becoming something that
are scaring you and are so different, why

do you keep coming back to me?

Why do you keep talking to me?

One of the main reasons someone is attracted
to you is because

you have this
kind of fiery attitude and because you're

so career driven, let's say or just striving
to be the best you can be.

This is why this person has chosen you.

And no matter how much they try to fight it,
the reason that they'll love you blind is

because they wouldn't have you any other way.

We're arguing and fighting, but you're really
enjoying the ride.

You're having fun.

I've
only got one chance.

One shot to live my life and whatever the
fuck I want to do.

âAin't no dollar sign" is I don't need money.

All the superficial shit.

I'm still going to be the best I can be.
