Liz

* Virtual
* Cassette

"**Liz**" is Remi Wolf's first stand-alone single of 2021, releasing on the 1st of January. Featuring the virtual production of both Wolf and Solomonophonic while also including many live instruments performed and added separately.

Six days after the song's release, a documentary, in collaboration with Apple Music, was uploaded to Remi's channel to reveal the story and making of the song.

## Song Leakage

* October 7th, 2019 - A lyrical snippet of the song is leaked via Remi's Instagram.

## Background

The idea of the song sprouted during a meet-up of Remi and her friends. During this time, one of Remi's friends decided to show up; Liz. To celebrate her entrance, Remi as well as Jared (a.k.a. Solomonophonic) chanted "Liz, Liz, Liz," repeatedly. From then on, the song developed. Liz only stayed at the house for a day, so most of the writing was finished by the time she left, although the full lyrics to the song were completed in under two days. Even though the song's lyrical state was finished, the song was left unproduced until March of 2020 when Remi and her friends decided to meet up in the U.K. A studio was temporarily rented for the recording session of the song. During the recording process, Remi was exhausted. Jared commented on her vocal ability at the time, "Remi, maybe we should run some scales". Remi's response was to take her anger out on the song, recording aggressive vocals. This take was used in the final production.

> *I wanted to share ‘Liz’ as a gift to my little Remjobs who have been with me since the beginning and have been asking for this song everyday over the last few years. I’ve been performing ‘Liz’ on tour for forever and to finally have a studio version I’m proud of and can share with my OG babies feels like a weight has been lifted off my chest. This record shows a different side of my work. I felt so happy and free creating this song and I hope it makes whoever is listening feel the same.

## Lyrics

**[Intro]**

Shoo, shut up

Shoo, shut up

Shoo, shut up

Shoo, shut up

**[Verse 1]**

She's a sexy little mama

Just like her daddy taught her

She don't seem the same

Since she working on the corner

Hope she don't fade away

Hope she find another lover

**[Chorus]**

And it was Liz, Liz

She taught me how to live

It was Liz, Liz

She taught me how to give

It was Liz, Liz

She taught me how to live

It was Liz, Liz, Liz

Oh, Liz

**[Post-Chorus]**

Shoo, shut up

Shoo, shut up

Shoo, shut up

Shoo, shut up

Baby, baby, baby

**[Verse 2]**

She don't eat alone

She goes home alone

Too much time alone

Time alone on the phone

And nobody, nobody, nobody calls

Nobody, nobody, nobody calls

She gets lonely

And she wants to hold me

But I don't hold things

No, I'm too lonely for that

Troubling, troubling, troubling calls

Catch me vaping Orange Juice outside of the mall

I get lonely

So I go shoplifting, oh

It's better than sitting

Crying in my kitchen when

Nobody, nobody, nobody calls

Nobody, nobody, nobody calls

**[Chorus]**

Except Liz, Liz

She taught me how to live

It was Liz, Liz

She taught me how to give

It was Liz, Liz

She taught me how to give

It was Liz, Liz, Liz

Liz, Liz, Liz

Oh, Liz

**[Outro]**

Shoo, shut up

Shoo, shut up

Shoo, shut up

Shoo, shut up

Liz
