## Track Listing

"**Dope**" is a song by Ängie featured on her debut EP *Suicidal Since 1995* as the lead single and first track. It was released on February 2nd, 2018, with the music video being released later on February 14th, 2018.

## Background

The song was written on Johan Tilli's house, at a session that lasted two days where they wrote as many songs as they could, trying to find her sound.

They created the beat for the song first, Ängie started writing the verses and then Johan came up with the hook, which she didn't like because "it didn't make sense", but after some brainstorming, they decided to use it because the song didn't have to make sense.

## Theme

When asked what the song was about, Ängie responded: "'Dope' is actually a love song, but within it, I confuse love with the rush for music and drugs. It’s a love song to music, dope, and the person that makes me wanna fight for it."

On her Instagram Stories, she said: "'Dope' is me talking about my love for music, my special one and my love for drugs, but I'm so high I mix it up and don't make any sense."

## Lyrics

**[Intro]**

Okay

Let’s go

**[Verse 1]**

I am like obsessed, I’m drowning in your eyes

It feels like I’ve been blessed

Cuz you’re like paradise

And when we’re both undressed

I’m almost paralyzed, paralyzed, paralyzed…

I need you, you’re the best

With us there is no stress

No need for other guys with you the time flies

You got a place to rest and that’s between my thighs

I press against your chest and then I realize

**[Hook]**

If I look dope when I make music, maybe my music will sound like dope

If I’m also on dope when I make music, maybe my music will sound like dope (2x)

**[Verse 2]**

I’ll never feel alone even when I’m stressed and stoned

You’re the best I’ve ever known

We are in the same zone

You’re like a cannonball

You’re above em’ all

You’ll be the one I call when I’m ‘bout to fall

**[Hook]**

If I look dope when I make music, maybe my music will sound like dope

If I’m also on dope when I make music, maybe my music will sound like dope (2x)

**[Bridge]**

You’re so sweet, you’re my lil cupcake

You’re so bad, make me sweat, fuck's sake

You’re so sweet always make me blush

You’re so bad givin me the best rush (2x)

**[Hook]**

If I look dope when I make music, maybe my music will sound like dope

If I’m also on dope when I make music, maybe my music will sound like dope (2x)

**[Outro]**

I wanna be high like all the time

Yes, yes wanna be high like all the time (4x)
