Fake Bitch

## Track Listing

**Fake Bitch** is the fifth track from Young Life Crisis. At first it was the last track from the EP, but once it was re-released on December 2020, Arizona is not the last track. The track was released alongside the EP.

## Background & Composition

In an interview with ThomasBleach UPSAHL stated that: *"I wrote ‘Fake Bitch’ at the start of what I now realise was my “young life crisis”. It was about a time pre-Covid where I had a meltdown at a bar and lost my mind. Then the rest of the EP was the journey following on from that, and ‘Young Life Crisis’ was what I thought was the end of that period, but I’ve realised I’m still in it \*laughs\*.*

*I started the EP and came out of the EP as a entirely different person. I think 2020 has changed everyone so much. I feel like I have so much more clarity, not only on myself, but also in my music, and I hope you can hear that on the EP. I’ve also learnt the importance of honesty, and how empowering it is to be vulnerable. I’m all for writing bad bitch songs all day long, but with this EP I did get a little more honest than I’ve ever been."*

When asked about translating the song to live stages she also told him: *"I mean I guess I realised, especially from doing the live stream, that ‘Fake Bitch’ was a big turning point for me as a human. Writing that song was kinda me recognising my issues. I feel like sometimes you don’t realise that stuff until you play it live, and usually there is a crowd there and it’s even more dramatic. But even during this live stream, I was really overwhelmed by release day and all over the place emotionally, so when I played ‘Fake Bitch’ I thought I was about to cry as it felt like such an emotional song."*

## Lyrics

**[Verse 1]**

I'm so fucking happy all time

Also, I'm really good at telling lies

My friends they always call me for advice

But they don't know

I've been crying

For the past seven nights

**[Pre-Chorus]**

This happens every single time I'm drinking

Like I can finally hear the thoughts I'm thinking

And it's so, so clear

Make a bee line to the bathroom

And I look into the mirror saying

**[Chorus]**

Fake bitch, fake bitch

Running from her problems

But she makes it look so good when she ignores them

And she puts them on a shelf

And she whispers to herself

"It's okay, bitch

Don't ever change, bitch"

**[Refrain]**

La la la la la

(Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)

La la la la la

(Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)

La la la la

**[Verse 2]**

Sorry that I didn't say goodbye

Why do I always have to be the life of the party?

But I still do it every night

Twenty-two, what's your sign?

Let's do this, one more time

**[Pre-Chorus]**

This happens every single time I'm drinking

Like I can finally hear the thoughts I'm thinking

And it's so, so clear

I make a bee line to the bathroom

And I look into the mirror saying

**[Chorus]**

Fake bitch, fake bitch

Running from her problems

But she makes it look so good when she ignores them

And she puts them on a shelf

And she whispers to herself

"It's okay, bitch

Don't ever change, bitch"

**[Refrain]**

La la la la la

(Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)

La la la la la

(Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)

La la la la

**[Bridge]**

Life's a bitch, but so am I

It's my party, think I'll cry

Life's a bitch, but so am I

It's my party, think I'll cry

**[Instrumental Outro]**
