Girl of the Year

## "Girl Of The Year"Single by Allie X

**"Girl Of The Year"** is the fifth song and fifth single from Allie X's third mini-album release, SUPER SUNSET. It was released on October 26, 2018.

## Background

The track was first debuted at the Rough Trade NYC Bar on July 29th, 2018 and an excerpt of the instrumental was first used in the Super Sunset teaser on Allie’s YouTube channel.

Allie revealed on an Instagram Live that originally the track was much slower, somewhere around 70 BPM, but it was sped up to where the track is now, causing the key and pitch of the vocals to change drastically.

> "My manager told me “Don’t keep the pitched vocals, it’s too weird!” and so I had to record them again, but it was too high so I was literally just screaming the lyrics, even live I had to take it down a semitone."

Some of said pitched vocals can still be heard on the bridge of the song.

## Lyrics

[Verse]

I've got ambition, I did the rounds

You got invested now you're taking me out

I'm nothing to you, that's what you like

I'm just a battery to keep you energized

[Pre-Chorus]

But if you see me coming

Pretend that I'm the only one

I like your lies

If you see me coming

You better show me you're in love

I like your lies

[Chorus]

There's a hollow inside you

And it won't disappear

Oh no, baby the way we work we've got about a year

There's a hollow inside you

But don't worry I'm here (I'm here)

I don't care that you're looking for the next girl of the year

Girl of the year

[Verse]

Somebody younger, with longer hair

When you want someone, clap your hands and she's there

No expectations and no regrets

I knew what I was in for soon as we met

[Pre-Chorus]

If you see me coming

Pretend that I'm the only one

I like your lies

If you see me coming

You better show me you're in love

I like your lies

[Chorus]

There's a hollow inside you

And it won't disappear

Oh no, baby the way we work we've got about a year

There's a hollow inside you

But don't worry I'm here (I'm here)

I don't care that you're looking for the next girl of the year

Girl of the year

I'm here

I'm here

Girl of the year

I'm here

I'm here

[Bridge]

Somebody gonna take my place

Somebody gonna take first place

You gotta keep your system going, going

Somebody gonna take my place

Somebody gonna take first place

You gotta keep your system going, going

[Chorus]

There's a hollow inside you

And it won't disappear

Oh no, baby the way we work we've got about a year

There's a hollow inside you

But don't worry I'm here (I'm here)

I don't care that you're looking for the next girl of the year

Girl of the year

[Pre-Chorus - Variation]

If you see me coming

Pretend that I'm the only one

I like your lies

(I'm here, girl of the year)

If you see me coming

You better show me you're in love

I like your lies

(I'm here, girl of the year)

If you see me coming

Pretend that I'm the only one

I like your lies

(I'm here, girl of the year)

If you see me coming

You better show me you're in love

I like your lies

(I'm here, girl of the year)

[Outro]

I'm here

I'm here, girl of the year

I'm here

Girl of the year

I'm here

I'm here, girl of the year

I'm here

I'm here
