It's Quiet in Beverly Hills

"**It's Quiet in Beverly Hills**" *(stylised in lowercase)*, released 4 December 2020, is the eleventh song on the physical version and the thirteenth song on the digital version of YUNGBLUD's second studio album *weird!*.

## Background

The song was first registered on BMI, YUNGBLUD then shared a poem to his socials, which seemed to be related to the song. The post has since been removed due to a clean out in his Instagram to get ready for the YB2 *(weird!*) era, however it can be seen on his Twitter. Since the poetry was shared to his socials, YUNGBLUD confirmed that the song would appear on the album when he revealed the track list.

On 21 October 2020, YUNGBLUD went live on social media app TikTok and played the song on his acoustic guitar six weeks before the album was released, as he said he really wanted to play a song off the album that wasn't released yet.

Harrison stated in several interviews before and after the song's release that California was suffocating and he didn't like it there, which is one of the reasons why his relationship with his ex-girlfriend ended.

Beverly Hills is a city in California in the United States of America, Harrison travels a lot between the United States and the United Kingdom but his residence is in England, United Kingdom. He also uses the recording studios in the United States and has American friends located there, as well as his current girlfriend. He states that America can sometimes feel fake as if some people-usually famous-aren't being real there, he sometimes ended up feeling suffocated and would only go there for work, however during the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, he got stuck in Los Angeles as he was working there.

## Lyrics

[Verse 1]

I'm sat inside a goldfish tank

Where people fix themselves with rubber bands

And I don't want them to believe that I'm that different

I'm on a ledge that's two feet high

And contemplating silent suicide

When everybody seemed to make it

[Pre-Chorus]

It's quiet in Beverly Hills

I'm dying in Beverly Hills

[Chorus]

I'll love you all of my life, all of my life

Until you close your eyes for good

I'll love you all of my life, all of my life

All of my life, all of my life

[Verse 2]

I got friends who fuck their friends and play pretend

So they can dream again

They buy their hearts from online shopping

When what you see is make-believe

You pride yourself on you fail to be

And therapy told me my blood was orange

[Pre-Chorus]

It's quiet in Beverly Hills

I'm dying in Beverly Hills

I'm lying in Beverly Hills

I'm crying in Beverly Hills

[Chorus]

I'll love you all of my life, all of my life

Until you close your eyes for good

I'll love you all of my life, all of my life

All of my life, all of my life

All of my life
