The song At My Last Breath is a ballad track about someone who's about to die because it implies that someone is at his/her dying days before passing away. The tempo is set at 88 BPM while the key signature is set at A major with a key change to E major in the chorus. The slow tempo, key signature and lyrical content reflect the theme of the song which is about losing someone.

The song is set in a major key because the sad lyrics will contrast with a happy and uplifting tone of the melodies. It is a pop and R&B ballad that will be suited for my target demographic due to its happy tones but deep and meaningful lyrics. This is the way I would present my idea to the record label. We can advertise this song in the hopes that a listener who feels torn about the death of someone they know, either a family member or a friend, might hear a preview of it and connect with the idea.

Lyrics:

Verse one:

Riding across the street

With the lights on

I’m not so far from home

As I race through this road

Ended up going fast

With little to no attention

Where I’m going to

By now, I feel this fear

Pre-chorus:

I lost control of everything

That is lingering on my mind

Soon as I weaken myself

So will be my shattered heart

Chorus:

I keep having thoughts

About where I’ve been

And if I take the fall

Would I keep holding on?

It’s at my last breath

That I have the last word

So I won’t be alive

My long-lasted hope is gone

Verse two:

Took me by surprise

When I hit my head

Been suffering from this tragedy

That’s unable to erase itself

Been asleep in bed

Within a few weeks

I don’t know if I

Can prosper any longer

[Repeat pre-chorus]

[Repeat chorus]

Bridge:

Just in case I don’t

Find my way back into life

I’ll forever close my eyes

And let it slip away

If my heart and brain

Are rapidly fading in the dark

Remember that I’ll be up there

Before I return

[Repeat chorus till fade]

The inspiration for At My Last Breath came to my senses after my two other songs, Perils of Love and Give Me Time to Live my Life, were finished. This song had inspired a bike accident six years ago because I was at a special school doing some orientation lessons with the other disabled kids. All of a sudden, I lost control of my balance and my head cracked onto the right-hand side. Mum had to take me to a hospital after a nasty fall down and it's something I had been experiencing tragically over the last couple of years because I'm never going biking with my sunglasses and helmet again, let alone going on a bike due to my cerebral palsy.

In the first verse, the narrator was riding across the street on her bike because everything seemed great for starters. However, in the last few lines, it has been rumoured that she's about to lose control of the bike and fall off due to not handling it properly, suffering a concussion in the process. ("Ended up going fast/With little to no attention/Where I'm going to/By now, I feel this fear.")

In the pre-chorus, the narrator proclaimed that she is damaging herself after that near-tragic event because it haunted her as time went on. The reason why is that it implies on the final two lines of the song, commenting that if her mind is broken, her body will break too, building up to the song's chorus. ("I lost control of everything/That's lingering on my mind/Soon as I weaken myself/So will be my shattered heart.")

In the chorus of the song, it is said that the narrator is close to dying because of a near-fatal injury she had experienced in her life. Coupled with a time-lapsed rhetorical question about her taking a risk in the future ("If I take the fall/Would I keep holding on?") to a tearjerking metaphor that will beg the narrator to not pass away ("It's at my last breath/That I have the last word/So I won't be alive/My long-lasting hope is gone"), it has a powerful message into the track because the listeners would want to hear what's going on in the afterlife when either person will stay alive will come out strong or stay dead and be buried at a cemetery where he or she will be fondly remembered by all.

In the second verse, it depicts that the narrator has been hit in the head after she fell off her bike and is trying to forget the accident never happened. ("Been suffering from this tragedy/That's unable to erase itself.") The reason for that is because she is about to erase it from her memory, but is unable to after this tragic accident had occurred, thus ending up in a hospital during a span of a few weeks. ("Been asleep in bed/Within a few weeks/I don't know if I/Can prosper any longer.")

In the bridge, the narrator explains that if she doesn't stay alive after the accident, she would die. This is further elaborated in the bridge section because, amid the blackout, the narrator complained that she is already in the hospital and is waiting for the moment if she's going to live or not. ("Just in case I don't/Find my way back into life/I'll forever close my eyes/And let it slip away.") She said that if her body and mind are failing instantly, she would be put to sleep and end up going to Heaven due to her stating the obvious that she will make it back to Earth one day. ("If my heart and brain/Are rapidly fading in the dark/Remember that I'll be up there/Before I return.")

The next song Froze Up From Being Selfish is about a person who's blaming herself after she's been bad because she can't stop herself from being a naughty person, with her freezing up as a metaphor for her stubbornness. The song's tempo is set at 152 BPM in a 4/4 bar measure whereas its key signature is at F-sharp minor.

The song Froze Up From Being Selfish has a rapid-fire tempo, a darker minor key and abrasive lyrics about being angry. The way I would present it to my target audience and record label is to promote the song to teens who can control their anger management when they grow up over time. I want to advertise it through my social media pages because every teenager will use a social networking app of some kind, eventually pre-ordering the song when they see a promotion of this track.

Outro: Dsus2, C#, F#m (x4)

Verse one:

I’ve been through a whole lot of trouble

Now I’m sealed in a giant bubble

I continue to see red, tell them you’re dead

Everything’s been torn to shred

It’s so hard with this agitation

Kicking and screaming, yelling I hate you

I shouldn’t have said those words

Let alone the courtesy to flip the bird

Pre-chorus:

I’m not trying to make you sad

All I wanna do is make you feel glad

And even when you’re ill, I’ll be here for you

But sometimes, my mind of its own won’t tell me what to do

Chorus:

I’m stuck up from being bratty

Why couldn’t I take a breath?

I must find a clue

Before I take the wrong way so well

I’m froze up from being selfish

Why didn’t I listen to myself?

I’ll search for a solution

Before the damage is done to hell

Verse two:

I’ve blown up one too many times

So I need a time out

Can’t control my emotions, put bars into motion

Everyone is having those commotions

Telling me I need to relax

But my heart isn’t on the right track

I’ve been popping off the top

In a disasterous way, so I have to stop

[repeat pre-chorus]

[repeat chorus]

Bridge:

What if I pretend to act my age?

I want to be normal without the rage

It won’t make any difference to who I am

I gotta profess like I give a damn

I’ve been spending years and years

Fighting these tears and those cheers

For once, I want that little girl smile

But it’s gonna take more than putting out the fire

[repeat chorus]

The inspiration for this song is a personal one because I started acting up like a spoiled child thinking about what I can do and what I can't do some of the time. Additionally, on a few occasions, I would throw a meltdown, cuss something out and scream at the top of my lungs before stopping. Froze Up From Being Selfish is a mature version of one of my other tracks from my sophomore album because it explores further into those unfair emotions that the person had caused his/her entire life; being selfish is one of them.

In verse one, we see that someone is being apologetic towards her because she keeps getting angrier and infuriating by the moment she throws a tantrum. There's one part of the lyrics where she sees the colour red because it represents rage in the circle of emotions and she tries her best to control her anger, especially when she has one of her meltdowns. ("I've been through a whole lot of trouble/Now I'm sealed in a giant bubble/I continue to see red, tell them you're dead/Everything's been torn to shreds.") In another set of words, the last line stated that she hadn't given the bird because it is a slang term for being given the middle finger, which she couldn't handle. ("It's so hard with this agitation/kicking and screaming, yelling I hate you/I shouldn't have said these words/Let alone the courtesy to flip the bird.")

In the pre-chorus, the person is doing whatever she can to make someone else feel happy. However, her brain has a mind of its own on some occasions implying that if she makes one mistake on another person, he/she will feel sad because of her ongoing breaking point. ("I'm not trying to make you sad/All I want to do is make you feel glad/And even when you're ill, I'll be here for you/But sometimes, my mind of its own won't tell me what to do.")

The song's chorus, it's riddled with warning shots upon the person because if she gets angry some more, she will see a negative outcome if she continues throwing those hissy fits. For example, the first line "stuck up from being bratty" and the fifth line "froze up from being selfish" express her unfair emotions in terms of being spoiled and acting stubborn because they follow up with a person searching for something that will help calm her down in a grown-up kind of way. ("I'm stuck up from being bratty/Why couldn't I take a breath?/I must find a clue/Before I take the wrong way so well/I froze up from being selfish/Why didn't I listen to myself?/I'll search for a solution/Before damage is done to hell.")

In the second verse, the person needs to prevent herself from her erratic behaviour because she has to think of a way to deal with a situation positively rather than continue making the same mistakes. In one example, the people are concerned with her bratty ways while that person in the song needs to take a break to lower her anger levels i.e. a time-out. ("I've blown up one too many times/So I need myself a time out/Can't control my emotions, put bars into motions/Everyone is having those commotions.") In the last few lines of the verse, the person has to come up with some techniques because she needs to stop herself from blowing her lid even further and carry it on from there. ("Telling me I need to relax/But my heart isn't on the right track/I've been popping off the top/in a disastrous way, so I have to stop.")

In the song's bridge, the person is doing her best by turning herself around and not going onward and upward by being a destructive woman. This is cemented further because she thinks of different ways to prevent being violent at one another whether it's at a person or something that ticked her off, to begin with. Even when she starts acting her age and isn't bothered about something, it won't make any changes to her lifestyle as it is likely for those tantrums to continue if she doesn't get her way. ("What if I pretend to act my age?/I want to be normal without the rage/It won't make no difference to who I am/I gotta profess like I give a damn/I've been spending years and years/Fighting these tears and those cheers/For once, I want that little girl smile/But it's gonna take more than putting out the fire.")

The next song Happy is a midtempo hip-hop song with self-empowerment lyrics because it is written from a second person perspective with some elements of a first-person perspective. The song is set at 106 BPM with 4/4 and 6/8 bar measures and the key signature is in G major.

Happy is a hip-hop song that mixes uplifting melodies and lyrical content about building your self-esteem through happiness. Its major key signature, inspirational messages about happiness and doo-wop elements in the chorus will attract the target audience and convince the record label to promote the song.

Lyrics:

Verse one:

Are you being lonely and bored?

With everything that you're falling to the floor?

You're this close to getting the door

When people think you're mean to the core

Well, at least that's what they said

So what's the problem with today?

Have you read your own life story?

Lately, the weather's getting stormy

You feel like you're ready for tears

Because the worst thing happens here

At this moment, you need a bit of sunshine

To clear your head because your future's bright

As ever, no matter what the bozos say

But it's their opinion anyway

Happiness will find a way

Because you will forever seize the day

Chorus:

All of this makes me feel happy

So go on, sing a song, ol' chappy

With your friends and your grandpappy

And pretty soon, you'll be happy

Like me, I'm happy

Oh, so happy

I'm happy that I can dance again

So happy

Verse two:

Is that supposed to be true?

Have all your days been oh so blue

Is it impossible finding the perfect you?

Mate, this isn't your curfew

You gotta get back in the game

Pretend in your mind everything's okay

Not all day could you be real happy

Who knows? You can always catch me

On the stereo, on the TV

In the papers, you should agree

That life isn't always precious

If you had a lousy day, bless us

And your lonely hearts in the club

You stepped into the newest hub

Filled with joy and harmony

I wrote this track down, my honey

I live on a whole new planet

Where all the people can have it

In this utopian life of mine, like bread and butter

For you see, it's all about being in technicolour

[repeat chorus]

Verse three:

Now where is that smile

The type that puts it on your face for a while

The one that stretches like the River Nile

Hell, you can keep grinning for many miles

Just don't get so many wrinkles

With your teeth, they're about to twinkle

Whenever you look at the mirror

And hold on to your memories, dear

If that's the case, get hold of the good times

Don't let yourself down in the grandiose life

That is yours, you need to talk about

What makes you happy inside and out

Those words can turn you into poems

Take you many places you can roam

You own this show all the time in the world

Now, go out there and live your dream, for the world

[repeat chorus]

The idea behind the song is I wanted to create an anthem that will depart from my side and write down these lyrics and chord arrangements from a second-person perspective. Case in point: being happy. Becoming happy tells me what everyone's doing right now because not somebody feels sad all the time and a smiley anthem calls for the hard times that a person is going through.

In all of the three verses, each one is told from a second-person perspective with a mixture of a first-person perspective. The reason why is because I want to give them a message to the listeners explaining what needs to make them feel good.

For example, the first verse has a couple of lines that address the audience implying that they feel down due to the difficulties of finding a place that will make a person smile. ("So what's the problem with today?/Have you read your own life story?/Lately the weather's getting stormy/You feel like you're ready for tears/Because the worst thing happens here.") At one point, the last few lines are directed to the listener because the song is telling you the person is depressed and needs to be happy when in reality, some other people can diss you for something, especially if it's in a sad emotion that will make things hard to emote and communicate. Through the trauma, please go and search for something that makes you happy rather than being stuck in a depressing mood all day long because no matter what they think of you, you need to break the day up and get today over with. ("At this moment, you need a bit of sunshine/To clear your head because your future's bright/As ever, no matter what the bozos say/But it's their opinion anywayHappiness will find a way/Because you will forever seize the day.")

The second verse, again, gives its direct address to the listener and this time around, the verse feels more of a therapy session than just the song itself alone due to its rhetorical questions and other language devices like metaphors and similes. Halfway through the next verse, a first-person perspective comes into play because what I am referring to is somebody who the person is listening to and how he/she can get to said person. ("Who knows? You can always catch me/On the stereo, on the TV/In the papers, you should agree.") Amongst the second-person and first-person mix, it also includes a shout-out to the album title at the end ("I live in a whole new planet/Where all the people can have it/In this utopian life of mine, like bread and butter/For you see, it's all about being in technicolour.")

In the third verse, as it is with the second verse, it continues from the psychotherapy side of things because someone will be asking you about where your smile is, even a grin. It also features a metaphor and simile together, giving it direct comparison to a smile and something else, while doing something similar to that strategy. ("Now where is that smile/The type that puts it on your face for a while/The one that stretches like the River Nile/Hell, you can keep grinning for many miles/Just don't get so many wrinkles/With your teeth, they're about to twinkle/Whenever you look at the mirror.") Once again, it's telling you that you need to make others happy and that you have to show them what you got because it builds some self-esteem and confidence for the listener who hears this track. ("Don't let yourself down in the grandiose life/That is yours, you need to talk about/What makes you happy inside and out/Those words can turn you into poems/Take you many places you can roam/You own this show all the time in the world/Now, go out there and live your dream, for the world.")

Amongst the verses is the chorus for Happy because it delivers a blend of both first-person perspectives consecutively about the topic of the song which is being happy. Throughout the chorus, it addresses you to get up and sing and dance along to the song you're listening to. This is because the listeners will try to get used to being happy instead of getting in one of those negative emotions every day. ("All of this makes me feel happy/So go on, sing a song, ol' chappy/With your friends and your grandpappy/And pretty soon, you'll be happy/Like me, I'm happy/Oh, so happy/I'm happy that I can dance again/So happy.")

Today, I have been changing the chord structure of the chorus from my third song, Happy. The original plan for the structure featured the Cmaj9 chord twice, however, due to the inability to practice quick Cmaj9 transitions to B minor, I had to replace a ninth major chord with a suspended chord because the latter will be more suitable for the chorus to transition from one to the other chord rather than make ninth major chords complicated for this part of the song.

Chorus: Csus2, Bm, Csus2, Bm, Gmaj7, Emaj9

The next song Fine by You is a pop and R&B ballad that focuses on an unrequited love between two partners. Set at a 4/4 bar measure, the song's tempo is set at 90 BPM while the key signatures are at C major and D major on the final chorus.

Fine by You is another ballad taken from the In Teknikolour album with the concept focusing on unrequited love in terms of production and lyrics. This song includes a slow composition that sounds happy but it also has nonchalant lyrics about brushing off the relationship when someone is not interested in you but is interested in the other person he or she is in love with.

The way that we would advertise the song to teenagers is to put this out on social media as a preview for the EP. I think teens will like it because they have been in a relationship that is either forbidden or unrequited to one another, therefore they would take inspiration from the song. As for the record label, they would like the track because of its lyrical content and catchiness.

Pre-chorus: F, G, C, Em7

Chorus: Csus2, Gsus4, Am7, Csus2, Gsus4, Fmaj9

Bridge: Dm7, G, C

Verse one:

We need to talk about what's going on

I feel scared about doing you wrong

But I didn't, we always break up and makeup

Lots of times, do you want to stay up?

Maybe we can sort things out

But you had to bring it down instead

I was seriously in love with you

However, you kept passing me by all through

Pre-chorus:

Do you remember what it's like

Seeing the opposite of love?

Do you need a little time?

To clear your mind or are we done?

Chorus:

If you want to go the polar side

It's alright with me

And if I choose to walk on by

That's fine by you

I'm sorry you got into this

Because it's something that felt amiss

If you pick the contrary route that I did

It's fine by you

Verse two:

I felt worn out trying to keep the peace

Because what you did was to let out a scream

Kept telling me you can't do it anymore

If there's silence around you, you will soar away

It meant that I won't see your face again

Because it felt like this was already the end

But I kept calm, even went and forgot about it

So I won't keep bugging you before you doubt it

[repeat pre-chorus]

[repeat chorus]

Bridge:

You can go my own way

Or you can go the reversible way

It is a possibility

That you can deal with the impossible

Love as we know it is unanswered

Because you're just not into me

If you want to choose the opposite path

That's fine by you

[repeat chorus]

Today, I have started working on my next song called In Her Shoes. An uptempo trap song about being envious, it is about a woman whose male partner is in an estranged relationship with his envious girlfriend because she had thought about replacing the female partner once she leaves him. The song is set at 115 BPM (on the intro and outro) and 155 BPM (verse, chorus and bridge) respectively with its bar measures set at 12/8, 4/4 and 3/4. The song's key signatures are at G# minor for the majority of the song's structure and B major for the bridge section.

In Her Shoes is a track that features a trap-styled composition and lyrical content about a woman who is about to take the place of an estranged girlfriend in a failed relationship. With the conceptualization of envies and its association with the colour green, teens might like this song because when somebody is getting tired of the partner he or she is with, they would understand that they would break up, leaving the other one as a replacement for the previous lover. The song is relatable for teens who are also in a relationship like that.

The way I would present it to my record label is to promote this song on social media as a sneak peeks of what's to come on the album. It is a different song that distinguishes it from the rest of the tracks I've worked on because it has a mature composition and vengeful lyrics throughout. The record label would like this one because I like to add in a bit of variety to this album addressing the concept of In Teknikolour, but with a different feel.

Verse: Ebm, G#m7, Edim, F#sus4

Chorus: G#m, Emaj7, Ebm7

Bridge: B, Eb, F#dim

Verse one:

Didn't you realize that this girl kept complaining

Because all I need out of her is a lot of explaining

I know you've been hurt due to how she acts

Because all she talks about is you being a twat

You need to get over her, start a new page

You don't want to see her go through the sudden rage

It's just a matter of time before she drops the bomb

Tell that girl to bugger off because she's gone

Chorus:

But don't worry, I'll step in her shoes

See how she feels now that you're hardly used

That woman's getting envious, looking all green

So she's going to see the world that's left unseen

You don't deserve to be caught up in the dirt

Because I know you've already been hurt

You have to understand once I step in her shoes

And when I do, it'll eventually be me and you

Verse two:

Don't you see that a woman like me

Seen so many signs of troubled dreams

Ask this girl who's been the angry one

It's like she wants to write a heartbreak song

How unnecessary is that

For a man to be fallen into a trap?

You need somebody to cater for

Because you don't need to be hated for

[repeat chorus]

Bridge:

I hate when the girl gets her hands on you

Let's face it, I wouldn't matter to you

I'll never do anything to someone like you

Who's been through a terrible love, times two

So when she's finished, I'll take her place

Because you'll never be controlled this way

What I'll do is step in her shoes

For now, you see, I'm often into you

[repeat chorus twice]

The challenges I'm facing with my solo EP are the bits where I feel stressed out and I have no plans for my next song to back it up. Also, I was being told by the music tutors to mix and master the tracks properly while I'm using Logic Pro independently with moderate flaws.

I would overcome these challenges I'm struggling with because for starters, I need to think of a plan before I can use it for college purposes. If it is made at home, I would go to a recording studio and edit the song using Logic Pro. If it is in the works at college, I would go on Logic at home when I'm not in one of those college days.

The constraints I face lies between the music production and my mental health meaning that my timing and stress levels can sometimes go off. The strategies for sorting out my stress-inducing problems and the ability to synchronize with the beat is to calm down and write something with lyrics and chord arrangements in the next production.

The skills that I've featured musically are my independent skills, time management skills and co-operation skills because they are the three skills that I have possessed through the first five weeks. After half term, I still need to enhance those skills because, to be a professional singer-songwriter and music producer, I should approach myself with some new ideas on what the next song's going to be.

The marketing EP is going great despite the Covid absence I had. I have been writing down a lot of details in regards to my next EP on social media, posting up snippets of my Logic Pro projects under the hashtag "ConfettiEP". I still need to promote the album even further and keep my core demographic updated with what I'm doing in the development process. For example, I should send in a preview of what the next track will be, depending on when it is completed.

My EP will appeal to the same record labels because labels such as 300 Entertainment, Ninja Tune and Butterz will still appreciate my music content. The genre hasn't changed much as they are staying how I originally intended.

In the conceptualization of In Her Shoes, I want to produce and write a song that is akin to my other track from my debut album, but with a little maturity and feistiness in terms of the instrument and vocal production. I wrote down some chord arrangements and melodies in a minor key signature and trap-infused beats because I need to make it sound upbeat while adding in some haunted elements into the musical instruments and drum beats alone. Then I wrote down some lyrics about a femme fatale who wants to seek vengeance on a begrudgingly toxic relationship caused by an envious girlfriend; like the song title, she wants to replace the girlfriend with her own so that she can convince the boyfriend to move on from a failed relationship and begin a new one. Teenagers know how they feel about one's envious partner due to proclaiming what the other one has that he or she don't, thus carrying on with a relationship that is about to go on the rocks. This is why I came up with In Her Shoes because I can understand what it's like to be caught in a relationship that doesn't last long and yet that other person would be able to replace the estranged partner someone is in love with before it got out of control.

In verse one, the woman is getting sick of the failed relationship between the boyfriend and girlfriend, sparking off a whirlwind of envy and pressure amid said relationship. It is hinted that the relationship is falling apart due to the girlfriend's envious acts towards her male partner and commented about the time he's been feeling stupid to her. ("Didn't you realize that this girl kept complaining/Because all I need out of her is a lot of explaining/I know you've been hurt due to how she acts/Because all she talks about is you being a twat.") In the middle of a broken relationship, the woman tells the partner to let go of that relationship and start anew with the next one because he doesn't want to see the girlfriend do bad things to him whilst at the beginning stages of her jealousy behaviour. ("You need to get over her, start a new page/You don't want to see her go through the sudden rage/It's just a matter of time before she drops the bomb/Tell that girl to bugger off because she's gone.")

In the chorus, we see that the woman is making a vengeful plot that will break the boyfriend's stalled romance, but in a good way. This infers that she wants to take the place of a girlfriend and let the boyfriend come over so that she can give him a word of advice about breaking off the relationship. From that moment on, she would tell her boyfriend that she is his and he is hers, forgetting about the ex-girlfriend altogether. ("But don't worry, I'll step in her shoes/See how she feels now that you're hardly used/That woman's getting envious, looking all green/So she's going to see the world that's left unseen/You don't deserve to be caught up in the dirt/Because I know you've already been hurt/You have to understand once I step in her shoes/And when I do, it'll eventually be me and you.")

In verse two, we see that the woman is upset about the boyfriend's begrudged romance with her girlfriend because she feels sorry to him about what had happened that caused the relationship to break away. She rumoured that the girlfriend is always troubled and has plans of making a song that has a concept of heartbreak in an angry timbre but was never objectified. ("Don't you see that a woman like me/Seen so many signs of troubled dreams/Ask this girl who's been the angry one/It's like she wants to write a heartbreak song.") In response, the woman needs the boyfriend looking after unlike what his girlfriend possesses from the start. This again theorizes the envy theme of the song because the woman of the song needs to take care of a boyfriend and treat him more fairly in contrast to what the girlfriend hadn't done with him. ("How unnecessary is that/For a man to be fallen in a trap?/You need somebody to cater for/Because you don't need to be hated for.")

In the bridge, the woman makes a promise to the boyfriend that she would trust him and stand by his side. It is implying that she would be a better girlfriend to the previous one a boyfriend had in the past for him to get away from a failed romance and create a new one from there with a different person who's more caring and trustworthy, not only to the boyfriend but to everyone else around him too. Once that piece of drama is resolved, he will break off that toxic romance and be with a new girlfriend who will love him even more. ("I hate when the girl gets her hands on you/Let's face it, I wouldn't matter to you/I'll never do anything to someone like you/Who's been through a terrible love, times two/So when she's finished, I'll take her place/Because you'll never be controlled this way/What I'll do is step in her shoes.")

The concept of the song is about dealing with equality issues based on different skin colours because the majority of racial music artists have been covering those problems in a bunch of those tracks. Artists like Nina Simone, Billie Holiday, Marvin Gaye, Beyonce, James Brown and Stevie Wonder were among the few black performers to have written, produced and sung a track that features them protesting at a subject that upsets them and other people including the end to war, racism situations, female rights and political issues. The Way They Are is considered a protest song, but it also recounts past events that occurred in North America due to the country's act of slavery while also getting privileged under the law meaning that black people and other citizens of different skin colour aren't going to face the likes of immigration, literacy and the right to vote. Teens who are related to the song's lyrics and music production will help them inspire someone who is having trouble being in a racial community because it has the same people with the same skin in an equal group, making things hard for a person with a different ethic to fit in with the rest of the team.

Lyrically in The Way, They Are, three verses were based on real-life tragic events with black people that happened in the past to present. For those lyrics, I have been covering the deaths of Clifford Glover, a ten-year-old school student from New York City, New York, USA, twenty-five-year-old Freddie Gray Jr. from Baltimore, Maryland, USA and Fayetteville resident George Floyd from North Carolina, USA. Along the way, I have also been writing about the riots following the deaths of those three citizens because I want the listener to feel sad about the violence in the civil unrest, especially after the passing of a person who is dark-skinned and started the incident.

For instance, the death of Clifford Glover became a serious topic through verse one. After the first few lines which give us the question, "What's the difference between being black or being white?" It then leaves the listener with a reply stating that it started as an idea before it went downhill in terms of racism, discrimination and prejudice because people who have a dark skin colour have more problems than they are with white people in the American community. The beginning lines will last through each verse (with a first-person view in the second verse) before tackling a serious issue and what caused it, in this case, Clifford Glover. Clifford was a young boy living in New York City with his parents and had attended an unnamed school before the shooting took effect. In the lyrics, it was rumoured that the boy was carrying a weapon and that he and his father are going to commit a bank robbery before getting shot down by a police officer, thus starting a riot in South Jamaica. We found out that later on, the officer that shot him was found not guilty because he speculated that the father took the gun away from his son's hand. ("The ten-year-old boy had a gun in his hand/Thinking he and his dad are gonna rob a bank/When the cops came here, they shot him down/And soon the riots went over town/It went past five o clock when they heard the guns cocking/The New York citizens listened to the cops knocking/The officer began pleading/While that little boy continued bleeding.")

In verse two, it takes on another subject which recollects the Baltimore riots and the Freddie Gray incident. In this verse, Freddie Gray was a young man and a juvenile delinquent living in his mid-twenties in Baltimore, Maryland. For some time, he had been carrying a knife and started threatening a few police officers before they arrested him and was ended up in a hospital, leading to his homicide. The reason why is Freddie had been opposing the law facing a criminal record and possessing drugs throughout his life, ultimately in him getting charges for drug substance. Following on from the event, the police officers were suspended and filed charges against one another, declaring that Gray's death is proven to be a homicide rather than an accident. ("That man carried a knife too near/At the ones who objected him/Opposing to the ones who protect him/He was only in his mid-twenties/When he went to the hospital in a frenzy/Not before he got the handcuffs/The officers battered him, though roughly/Life in Baltimore is a little tough/So the riots and protests are having enough/Thanks to dropping charges halfway through.")

The third and final verse has a final subject that takes back to the time when the death of George Floyd had happened amongst the ongoing civil unrests and protests throughout North America. George Floyd lived in Fayetteville and often went to a shop in Minneapolis as a customer while landing several jobs as a police officer, bouncer and truck driver. One day, another customer felt suspicious about what the man was carrying because George Floyd had a twenty-dollar bill in his hand before paying. It turns out that the bill was counterfeit and the police got involved dropping George down to the ground before he was arrested for carrying a fake twenty-dollar bill. Due to the police brutality, he was unable to breathe for air and eventually broke his neck in the process. Following his death, the protests began to break out across the majority of North America where people from different races joined in to fight against those who have been disobedient with racism as well as trying to encounter the police violently before the incident. ("I have seen/A man carrying twenty dollars/From his pockets before hollering/Getting pinned down by cops/Couldn’t be able to breathe, he dropped/Down to the station, saw the cash was forged/The man didn’t talk like he did before/As the policeman went into court/He was guilty, had to go out the door/And got into jail as justice had to be served.")

In the song's chorus which comes after each verse, it has a first-person perspective where the narrator was questioned why she was one of those people who was against the law when she wants to be indistinguishable in the same community under a different ethnicity. The reason why is that because black people are getting dissed from another racial community, she didn't want to do the same with a different group of racial people, thus declaring that she needs to stay how she is the way they are, despite the skin colour. ("Why was I the one disturbing the peace?/If I’m staying the same, was it all I needed?/Is it because I’m white?/Or am I saying to think it’s a crime/Just because I’m light-skinned/Don’t mean you can put me in the bin/I’m different to who they are/Because I am the way they are.")

After doing the last song for Black History Month, I wanted to do a track that is tailored for International Women's Day this year. Associating with its theme of equality, I have decided to do the next one because this time around it will be targeting female listeners of my core demographic. With its written lyrics about facing your imperfections in terms of character and personality and its 6/8 soul-pop and electroproduction, Sea of Storms struck through my mind. The track was written around the time when Storm Eunice broke through the rest of Great Britain because the name alone will fit as a metaphor for being a powerful woman who can help other faltered ladies in need. Women have been through this situation before and others went on to go about their daily lives despite their faults, whereas some of them dealt with anxiety and depression issues, implying that they couldn't take their failures any longer.

Its lyrics talk about the real-life event of an American woman whose face had been deformed after her abusive boyfriend fired bullets at her. However, despite this, she continues to carry on with her life and eventually became an inspiration to young women who have also faced similar problems. Being in a violent relationship became a recurring theme in the first verse where a young woman had to go get plastic surgery at a hospital following the incident. This is because although there was no reason why the man held the woman at gunpoint, she had to be hospitalised and was therefore given a makeover, bending the shape of her face while being anxious about it. ("It comes to no surprise/I regretted this very day/The minute he came here/He got a bullet to my face/Am I a freak/Because I’m different to other girls/Been getting surgery/Watching my insecurities unfurl.")

In the pre-chorus before the chorus, the woman thought that the shooting was an accident, but I can imagine that if this experience hadn't caused her to get injured, she will continue to thrive even with her imperfections. This is further explained because the shooting was an incident and not an accident meaning that if it became more fatal, she would've been dead in the hospital before the surgery began. ("Maybe I/Made one misfire/Hadn’t it been torture/I’ll always be a survivor.")

In the song's chorus, the titular sea of storms turns into a metaphor for someone who is about to get back at the other people who poked fun at her along with the opportunity to defend those girls that have dealt with a similar issue before, including herself. ("In these seas of storms/I vow to take revenge/On the one that did me wrong/And to others, I will avenge to/All the pain and hurt...") At one point in the song, she wished that a rainbow will come into view across the sky because the rainbow symbolizes hope for happiness amongst people who are feeling down about something they can't forget about. Although the woman is being imperfect, she is still learning how to get through life with the inclusion of her personality defects. ("I prayed/That a rainbow will soon appear/I’m at odds with being broken/So I’ll remember how to breathe.")

In the second verse, the woman talks about her insecurities on a windy day, stating the obvious that her face is now out of shape. This is because she has been getting depressed lately post-surgery and she needs to find an opportunity to rejuvenate herself without carrying it on. ("Strong winds burst through the sky/When murder taught me about dying/I felt disfigured...) Her hopeful chances at loving herself come later in the verse, commenting that she can smile and talk again leading into her telling other women about her experience and how she wants to be in this community filled with young and old females who have been getting similar faults as she is. ("Until now, my skin got thicker/I now know how to smile/And I’ve done it for a while/I spoke out from the heart/That I will be a part (of those girls).")

In the bridge of the song following from the pre-chorus and chorus, the lyrics transition from the first-person point of view to a second-person perspective. Beginning from the first two lines: "The first thing about beauty is/Would you throw everything away?" It is rumoured that if a young lady has had any experience with perfectionism, they are given the first option to put in their weaknesses. This gives a direct address to the female listeners due to them dealing with their own falters in personality and character, suggesting that they need to make their sacrifices to make them feel strong and glamorous, transforming them into beautiful, independent women that will keep going for the rest of their lives. ("It’s okay that you feel beautiful/But you don’t have the turn of phrase/To say that you’re perfect/You have to take risks at all costs/However, you’ll be just fine/With a plan of a payback.")

Today, I have been modifying the intro and pre-chorus structures because the chords that were intended for the final mix of The Hopeful and Unwritten are scrapped due to some complicated chord arrangements I cannot do. In place of the original chords in the structure are the new chord arrangements that will be placed in the intro and pre-chorus of the track, with the addition of suspended chords and diminished chords at some point in both structures.

Intro: A, E, Dsus4, F#m, E, Dsus2 (Dm7 as a build-up to the song's structure, verse or instrumental)

Pre-chorus: Edim, F#dim, Dmaj7

Also, I have been putting in an instrumental part that consists of mainly augmented chords that differ from the suspended and diminished chords I've done. The reason why is because I want to try something new with the instrumental structure and concentrate on doing some augmented chords rather than only doing suspended and diminished chords throughout the production.

Instrumental: G#dim, Dsus2, Gaug, Esus4 (E, F#m, Dsus4 as a build-up to the final chorus)

I have been adding in an augmented chord because, in the complete opposite of a diminished chord, the augmented chord structure is played at a major chord whereas a diminished chord is set at a minor chord. In the Gaug chord, it creates a diminished triad that is set at G major because it produces a bright, but strange tone in the modal change. I wanted to add something brand new to the structure that doesn't revolve around suspended and diminished chords in its song's entirety and thanks to the addition of an augmented chord, I want to build it up in a happier timbre rather than it being in a moody tonality.

A similar thing can be applied for the outro because the Gdim chord isn't part of the A major structure and something had to change. Therefore, it will have a G#dim chord as a replacement to the original Gdim chord. The same can be said for the Adim chord because I want to substitute an augmented chord in there, turning into Aaug than what it originally intended alongside the seventh dominant chord in C# minor.

Outro: Aaug, E, G#dim, C#m, D

The idea of this song came out of my mind where the abstractions of creating tracks about the topic of a breakup are starting to get more explicit and grown-up over the present decade, especially during the wake of the pandemic. Xcuse My French is the ultimate breakup anthem aimed at people who have been going through their failed relationships for a few reasons that are left to be told. This is because it has a powerful message to the exes who have been doing bad things to their ex-partners and therefore the latter will move on from the relationship and begin their new chapter in their single life until they find another lover that can treat them better.

Verse one tells the story of a female person who has been drinking all night following a messy breakup from a bad relationship with her ex-boyfriend. The reason why is that this song covers the topic of betrayal where a person has done a lover wrong, causing the latter to end the relationship for good. In this one, the woman looks back on how her ex-boyfriend's doing without her now that she is finished with the heartbreak. ("I wish you wouldn’t be so dumb/Now that I’m stood here drinking rounds of rum/You and your mates were having fun/Before you start breaking young girls’ hearts and then some.") This suggests that the woman has been drinking loads of rum in a depressing mood and how her ex and his friends are going around talking to other women instead of solely focusing on her. The song then delves into a conversation about the boyfriend fobbing off thinking that him going out with different girls isn't a bad thing when in reality, cheating sets off a red flag implying that it could lead someone to some consequences if he or she is not being careful trying to stay in a relationship, or this case, be in a relationship. Therefore, the woman argues about how she's not the right choice for him yet the other woman he loves is. ("'Come on, it isn’t always bad,' you said/'Keep it together,' it read, 'think it’s a fad?' I said/Well, I’m not the kind of girl with the bark she chews/Go get your date, she’s already past due.") Tired of weeping about her recent breakup, the female person thinks that she will be better off without him and his cheating ways because she needs to think about living the single life for the time being and wondering how she's going to jot down a breakup track about him while staring off into space, leading up to the song's chorus. ("Now I’m huddled to the corner crying/Pondering how I wish you could die/Without me often on your side/I don’t think it’ll do us good, you and I/I need to take a break from screaming/About your infidelity and start dreaming/How I can pen a song with feeling/Look to the stars when I see them gleaming.")

The chorus of Xcuse my French is where things are beginning to sound adult-like in terms of lyrical content because like the title implies, the woman is sorry for her foul mouth but she's only aiming her use of bad language at her ex-partner as a way of getting back at him for his acts of betrayal amid their relationship. Midway through the chorus, the woman is declaring her independence from a broken relationship before culminating in that one moment where she calls him a bad word used from British slang and a drama queen together, realizing that he is not just stupid but a guy who likes to be very emotional in unfair situations too. ("Excuse my French,/But I’m bloody better than you/Pardon my language,/But you f****d me over in two/This is the final time I attempted/Someone who is hell bent over me/Excuse my French,/But I think you’re a w****r and a drama queen.")

In the next verse, the woman comes into the house of her ex-boyfriend whom he has completely forgotten about since he cheated on her with other females. Upon letting it slip about the woman he's with beforehand, she made a response to him about what he's going to do with her in an angry feeling because it's unclear whether or not the boyfriend will do something to the girl until later in the verse where he had filed a restraining order against her, not to mention a drug reference where the woman jogged her memory about falling in love with him. ("I came by your house blocks away/From where I’m at, and what did you say?/'I don’t ever recall seeing you'/Oh really? What are you going to do?/When we began dating with destiny/It feels like I’m high on ecstasy/Swore you had to keep it on a low profile/Now it’s all about restraining files.") The woman goes on about the new girl he's in love with because she describes her as "rubbish" and how she is filthy, giving an indirect reveal that the boyfriend is into this new girl who looks sexier than she is. ("Every time I go near you with that milf/Obviously, she’s rubbish judging from the filth/I plead the fifth, sod it, I’m going to the Oak/While you and your lover watch Hollyoaks.") After one more reference, the woman insists that her ex-partner would go for his latest girlfriend from a UK county now she's out of the picture, speculating that he could do better with his new female partner. ("Sounds like a great end, isn’t it?/Okay, I will let her finish/But I’m your greatest woman of all time/You could’ve stuck with the latter from Tyne.")

The third and final verse occurs with suspense upon the reveal that will shock my target demographic. In this verse, the woman is giving a contrast of her boyfriend's antagonistic behaviour to a mythological folklore hero. The first time I wrote that line was due to me living in Nottingham where it was widely coinciding with the legend of Robin Hood, a forest outlaw who stole from the rich and gave to the poor with all of his thief companions. Funnily enough, giving that self-centred attitude to the poor people is a humorous fit for a breakup song because of its elements with the witty banter. Along the way, the boyfriend is looking to find other girls that will make his day better, only to let them go through a one-night stand and deal with their heartbreaks after, with some of those women resorting to violence who have put up with a jerk of a partner. ("If I were to pick on someone greedy/I had a thought I’d give your ego to the needy/You stole my heart, gave me your ambition/You’ve taken me for granted, now you’re fishing/For others in the sea, including your jilted c***s/Who’ll kick you in the b*****ks, or rather your bum.") The boyfriend's embarrassments continue when he is about to soil himself at one point, claiming that this is an act of humiliation due to peeing and/or pooing himself in his underwear. Also, he proceeds to kick off about his failures of being in a new relationship with a new partner in regards to getting revenge for what he did with his ex-girlfriend in the past romance before a new relationship had started. Finally, it is revealed that the ex-boyfriend had been double-crossing his new girlfriend the entire time and that the other woman he's been with is applauding him for his latest downfall in his recent love life. All of this leads to the song's bridge where it transitions to a sing-song format, differentiating from the usual rapping in the verses. ("It’s not good clean fun when your trousers are soiled/All I know is you’re a man child who’s feeling spoiled/Thanks to you, my colours are getting brighter/Opened my senses now I’m done with all-nighters/There's your keys and your Beamer/Because it’s the last time you’re going to see her.")

Continuing from the third verse is the bridge section due to it being entirely sung instead of rapping. According to the bridge, it is rumoured that the woman is bleating about how her ex-boyfriend is cheating on other women and turning them into malicious, obsessive psychopaths because the remainder of this track is about how he is being over-dramatic and dumb with staying in love with somebody he comes across. In the end, since the boyfriend is now failing at his love life, the woman gave him a clarification about why he keeps acting up in the newest romance with other women in his life, building up to the final chorus of the song where once again, she bellows that her boyfriend is being a jerk and a diva all in one personality. ("But I could congratulate you, though/For turning those women into psychos/And when I say you’re a drama queen/Tell you the truth, let me scream it out.")

The idea of Such Vibrant Colours I See started when I was at the halfway point of the In Teknikolour album. After doing my eighth track which is about communicating through a song in, I figured I should do a similar song to it, but it is where people can emote with their self-esteem in a different colour while in another world. It is an inspirational club anthem ladened with classical music elements because Such Vibrant Colours resembles that through lyrical content and an offbeat shuffling production that talks about someone showing off their colours to the world and everyone around it. It is a song that teenagers and adults would want to dance along to and I think it would be the perfect opening track to kick off the album.

After the intro, we get to the first verse where the main character is bedazzled by someone's work. The reason is that it could be anything; a book (which she's comparing to), a song, a poem, a drawing, a mural, et cetera. These colours are what caught the eye of the person who is looking at someone else's piece of work because what she's doing is receiving critical acclaim for his or her effort at doing so, but it also explains that the creator's negative feelings could get in the way of his or her portfolio and even the imagination of his or her own, leading to the pre-chorus of the song. ("What beautiful texture I see/It looks like a book I can read/That fetching chroma I’ve seen/Feels what it wants to be/Such radiant quality, yes/Creating a vivid imagination is a guess/To prove that your uneasy feelings are less/To your heart but more in your mind, yet.")

In the pre-chorus, the main character wonders if the creator needs a shade of this colour that will turn those negative emotions into positive ones. This is because a shade is a tint that can be part of the colour in a lighter or darker tone, however, she doesn't want the creator to think that those dark shades are holding him or her back. She continues forward about how the creator is going to show off his or her content for everyone in the world to see through because they all want to look at the creations that someone has done and the main character should know that the creator needs to have a good sense of artistry in all of his/her content. ("Isn’t that shade worth living for?/Expanding the image is what you’re heading for/Your curiosity is worth showing for/The people that wanted more.")

In the song's chorus, the word "such" is being repeated four times in the course of the track implying that the main character is giving praise for the creator's workpiece but also likes to work alongside that someone who needs help bursting those colours in a different world. She later says that no creation can't be done except the aid of someone who needs her. This is because she too wanted to show off her colours to the world through the content of her work. ("Such creative power you got/Such great imagery that means a lot/Such vibrant colours I see/Such inventiveness is all I need/With you, all-day/What huge artistry I crave/For the vibrant colours, I say/Because no invention can finish it this way/But you.")

In the second verse of the song, the main character continues praising someone else's work utilizing his/her creative passion. This also hints at the reference of mythological legends that she is obsessed with because it could be anybody that she is in love with in terms of texture and hue. ("What integrity I went and saw/From something that’s up to the core/Is it a piece of folklore/Of a legend that I adore?") Finally, she commends the creator's creative freedom because she can picture him/her being under the sunshine with a piece of work that is going to be finished; writing in this case. This is because writing is another example of bringing your creations to life and people often write stories and songs to coincide with their imaginations throughout. ("What marvellous passion I love/It has delicacy and it looks fun/Don’t you wish you’d be under the sun/With writing that’s ready to be done?")

Following the pre-chorus and chorus is the bridge where it makes a drastic move for the main character and the creator she's praising. The reason why is that the person's creative passion could lead him/her into an open door that follows to another place, therefore he/she has got to show off the colours to everyone who cannot emote and have trouble building their own imaginations in the world of Teknikolour. Eventually, the creator will gain recognition for his/her work because someone is reflecting a different colour that will not be turned down but leave the people wanting more behind his/her portfolio. ("Can’t you see the creative path inside/An open door that goes to the other side?/No matter how hard you try/You could shine under the spotlight/Such wonderous ability you’re longing for/With a colour you’ve never possessed before/Your positive shade will be hard to ignore/Because you’ll leave them wanting more.")

After a repeated chorus is the outro of the song where the main character gives a taste of what's to come on the album. As you can see, the person is showing off her colours because she's given a recommendation that the creator should do the same with her, due to its use of the direct address aimed at my target audience. In the final two lines, she takes the creator on an adventure through Teknikolour suggesting that there will be other songs to follow on this album, each with a different colour and subject matter through varied lyrical content and music production. ("I’m dreaming in colour/So won’t you do the same with the others?/Join me on a journey in technicolour/And remember, this one will relate to each other.")

The concept of this song stemmed in my mind when I came across the subject matter of mental health and the importance of stalking a celebrity. Invading personal space is one of those topics because everyone is trying to spend their alone time without someone bugging them. Give Me Time proves that concept lyrically and musically due to people getting tired of somebody who's trying to annoy them, constantly getting aggravated to the fullest.

I wrote down all three verses from the first-person perspective because I get really angry when a person is trying to take the mickey out of me, or someone else who couldn't stand it. In addition to the verses, I also jotted down the chorus because I'm telling off someone who would leave me alone and let me carry on with my life. Judging from the title, I want somebody to clear off and it cannot raid my alone time because I'm used to chilling out on my own as well as friends.

At the start of the song is the intro where I introduce you to a start of a new era, gearing up for what's to come on In Teknikolour. The reason why I wrote this is I want to announce my core demographic because I'm starting a new chapter of my music portfolio where the next few songs are filled with varied lyrical content and music production, depending on how I'm feeling associating with the idea of In Teknikolour. Later, I made some sarcasm into the final line, proclaiming that I need room in the lead-up to the song's first verse. ("Alright, ladies and gentlemen/Let me introduce you to/The next chapter of DJ DeDe/Forgive me, I just need some space.")

In verse one, strangers are always on my mind constantly taking the mickey out of me by sending out fanmail, wanting to talk to me and asking me for a sexual intercourse, even though I don't know them. In the song's subject matter, it is about stranger danger when you're a celebrity because everyone has been dealing with those problems about somebody stalking that famous person and it is never okay for them to give more time to be alone. ("I keep receiving phone calls, dozen messages/From strangers I don't know, give it a rest/They followed me around the corner/Telling me I want you and I won't bore you/I'm not curious to hear about the dirty talk/Secondly, I don't have a clue why you feel flirty/Third of all, all you ever want is sex/Alternatively, it's better to write you a text.") Along the way, I keep explaining to them about invading my personal space because I am giving a warning shot to those people if they don't want to leave me be, at one point, flipping the bird. Not to mention, if I have little time to talk with them, I will do that later or not at all due to having other things on the brain that I should be doing. ("Alrighty, how am I going to need space/For myself, I want you to get out my face/I appreciate your time, but I got other plans/Don't let me have to raise my hand/And give you the finger, because that's what will happen/When you start backstabbing/On my personal life, I have so little time/To speak with you, thank you and goodnight.")

Following the first verse is the chorus because it goes on for the next two verses until it gets repeated prior to fading out. This implies that I'm telling these stalkers to give me space for my personal and professional lives because should they continue following me, they are going to increase my anxiety if I'm not being careful with stranger danger. Therefore, like the title, I need time to live my life and nothing more because if they're going to carry on, my anxiety levels will go through the roof so it's best to ignore them and walk away from the situation instead of reaching my boiling point. ("I don't need you disrupting my latitude/You need to expand your attitude/You'll never overwhelm me, give me time/To live my life, yeah/I don't want you to raid my expanse/You have to learn about proper romance/You won't take over me, give me time/To live my life, yeah.")

In verse two, this continues from the subject matter of stalking because I'm telling these strangers to leave me be and do other things without them getting more obsessive about me i.e. study at school. However, even though I warned them to back off, they still continued stalking me because if they were to look on a music playlist for the song I've written, it will have to be this one due to delving into the song's theme of stranger danger and is yet to be performed live on stage at my next concert. ("Let's set the record straight/I don't want my time with you, mate/I need to focus on school/Without losing your cool/If I made a music playlist/This song would be on a setlist, sadist/Young man, looking for a woman to stalk/You're not a kid writing someone on chalk.") Towards the end of the second verse, I am giving them some options so that they can cherish the moment when they see me next on stage or grab a copy of my next album. The reason why is I need to give the strangers some respect in terms of making a few choices for them because if I haven't got any options for them to get a hold of DJ DeDe, they will still follow me everywhere I go so a few choices need to be put in place so they can get out my sight. As for going home with a stranger, that too is out of bounds because I need some space from that too. ("Okay, if you want to get in my gig, fine/I'm always going to fall in line/And if you want a signature from me/Let's hope you'd get a picture, see/I don't want to be surrounded with loonies/Who want to talk to me, don't be floozy/When I take you home, you crazy groupie/I'll ignore it, I need room, so shoot me.")

In the third and final verse, it leads me to the point where I am getting annoyed because the strangers are still going after me and it's my duty to have a talk with them about invading my alone time and other peoples' personal room. ("Of all the things you did/It's my alienated privacy, thrilling/But I'm not into it/Even they're not into it.") In the middle of the verse, I am somewhat getting angry because I don't know when the stalking will finish, bringing up this point where I have been spending all my life making music without strangers messing me about until it leads up to now where they are trying to stress me out and reach my breaking point and these songs (including this one) prove that I have a few bars written for the people who want to hear my music content. ("What? Are you trying to overtake me?/If you're gonna do that, make me/I like the personal things in life/Spent all decades trying to strive/And thrive in a musical world/I got some bars to spread the word.") Finally, the idea of stalking a celebrity has gone one step too far, going as far as raising my stress levels. Because that I'm not into those strange citizens trying to do something that will damage my music career, I am further dismissing their personalities as being arrogant, cocky and wacky. The reason is because a lot of stalkers have different personalities of their own due to the fact that they can be crazily obsessive about a celebrity doing one thing that they love or they can mail out letters to that famous person in the hopes that they can see him or her someday. ("You raiding my invasion of privacy/Got me a high chance of anxiety/Once again, you better get out my way/Because it stays the same/With your arrogance and cockiness/Not to mention your wackiness.")
