## About the song

> "I was in Stockholm two years ago with Patrik Berger, Noonie Bao and Martin Stilling. I came in with references from Studio Ghibli, the Japanese film company that did Spirited Away. They have a lot of weird soundtracks that are amazing. I’ve always been inspired by that, so I asked Patrik how we could do it, and he got to work making all these weird-ass sounds. I don’t even know how he made that one squiggly synth sound. He’s such a fantastic interesting person — I was freaking out a bit because he’s done amazing stuff with Robyn and Charli XCX. This song is pretty much the demo production with the original vocals. It’s been polished and mixed, but I didn’t re-record anything, it was all very on the spot. Lyrically, it’s about pressure — pressure that I put on myself, pressure that comes from elsewhere. I’m so incredibly honored to be doing this job, but sometimes it’s just a lot to take in. I’ve been trying with this whole album to give snapshots of how this whole journey has been, and that includes songs about work."

## Lyrics

[Chorus]

Oh, you just want me to be

Sweeter, better, angel, yeah

Business dinners

You just want me to be

Pictures, numbers, figures, yeah

Deeper, smarter

And I'll just try to be me

[Verse 1]

In the silence, on my own

Trapped in my head from the moment I wake up

Oh, I’ve been feeling kinda low

Trapped in my head from the moment I wake up

[Pre-Chorus]

Standing on the shoreline, I just wanna swim and float

(I just wanna know)

Swept over by the undertow, I just wanna swim and float

(You just want me, just want me to be)

[Chorus]

Sweeter, better, angel, yeah

Business dinners

You just want me to be

Pictures, numbers, figures, yeah

Deeper, smarter

And I'll just try to be me, ooh (I just, I just, I just, I just)

I'll just try to be me, ooh (I just, I just, I just, I just)

I’ll just try to be me, ooh (I just, I just, I just, I just)

I'll just try to be me, ooh (I just, I just, I just, I just)

I'll just try to be me

[Post-Chorus]

La la la la, la, la, la, la, la

La, la la la, la la la la

[Verse 2]

There's a castle in my room

I want it all, but I don't wanna wake up

You say I got some attitude

'Cause I want it all and I don't wanna wake up

[Pre-Chorus]

Standing on the shoreline, I just wanna swim and float

(Oh, you wanna go)

Swept over by the undertow, I just wanna swim and float

(You just want me, just want me to be)

[Chorus]

Sweeter, better, angel, yeah

Business dinners

You just want me to be

Pictures, numbers, figures, yeah

Deeper, smarter

And I'll just try to be me, ooh (I just, I just, I just, I just)

I’ll just try to be me, ooh (I just, I just, I just, I just)

I’ll just try to be me, ooh (I just, I just, I just, I just)

I'll just try to be me, ooh (I just, I just, I just, I just)

I’ll just try to be me

[Post-Chorus]

La la la la, la, la, la, la, la

La, la la la, la la la la

La la la la, la, la, la, la, la

La, la la la, la la la la

La la la la, la la la la

La la la la la, la

La la la la la la la la, la la

I'll just try to be me
