Originally, we had spit gasoline.
We're like, it's it's too normal.
>> It was like, it's too on the nose.
We needed to be quirky with it.
>> What's near gasoline that would have the
same effect as gasoline?
>> Kerosene.
>> It sounds cooler.
>> >> Kerosene, we wrote it with the mentality of making a fun rock song.
We wanted to
make like a a bratty sassy song.
Let's make a song that you could do your
makeup to.
That you can just like feel pumped up to go out and experience the
day.
>> I know you try so hard.
I know you wish you were me.
You're so kind of whatever.
You wear it on your sleeve.
>> I think we were literally setting up
like the beginning of a movie in our
heads.
>> I think we had Mean Girls in
our >> Our rage notebook just kind of
like
>> >> saying all these things.
>> I think I know what you hide.
You want to sell what's free.
It kills you to be kind.
But it's never killed me.
>> Kindness is the easiest thing to do,
but for some reason, some people find it
really hard to do.
Like the basic >> The bare minimum.
>> The bare minimum.
You could just say hi to me, but you don't and if you do it's
because other people are watching.
It's like that that kind of thing that you
wouldn't normally have to think about being kind
or nice to somebody, but this
person that we're talking about in the song,
it's just this super difficult
thing for them cuz they just don't have
a kind bone in their body.
>> I'll say it once, won't say it again.
Look in my eyes when you're talking to me.
It came out of your mouth.
Don't try
to pretend.
Look in my eyes when you're talking to me.
>> I think we wanted to be very stand offish.
>> Yeah, very confrontational.
>> It's like if we had that person in front of us, we'd be like, just say it.
Say it
to my face." It's like that.
>> Mhm.
Cuz I feel like some people have, you
know, the power to do it when it's
anonymous or whatever, especially nowadays with social media.
It's like, if you want to say something, I dare you
to say like right in front of me and look in my eyes when you do.
Just like,
go for it.
>> like in a certain way, you're trying to call them out that I see the real you.
I
know you want to say those things.
Like, say what you mean and spit kerosene.
>> If you're going to say something and
you know it will be mean, like just
like say
it with your chest.
Spit kerosene and it will light on fire, but just know that
your words do have that effect and stand by them.
>> First two is the evolution of this
story where we already confronted this person.
You're like, "I know you're obsessed with me.
I know you're checking my stats
on Instagram.
You're checking my likes, my comments, and you want to be me so
bad." But you will never say it to anybody.
Like, it's right there.
It's so
obvious and I see it.
I see you.
>> So, the bridge, our favorite part.
We're like, we want something really fun,
something really like chanty and chanty.
So, we're like, "What would we want people to sing back?
Like when we wrote
the first draft of that bridge, every single
man in our team, they were like,
"Do you want to say jeans?" And we
were like, "Jeans?" Like, "Jeans?" Like, what
is And we're like, But, all the girlies were like, "That's the line." That heat.
It makes it fun
and it sends the message across that it's
not that deep.
>> >> The outro is just where I
scream at you and just like kind of
want to scare you
off.
But, honestly, I love this part cuz it's a little bit more of the intensity
that we usually have in our music.
So, this last outro, I feel like we just let
loose for sure.
I'm almost out of breath by that point live, but it just makes it
a lot more intense cuz I get like
all red and it's just like screaming at
everyone.
And I try to make eye contact with someone as well and just be like,
"Yes, you." >> >> Superhuman by NCT has
>> It's so good.
>> the best bridge I have ever heard.
>> I think you can see our love
for K-pop in everything in this song.
>> Yeah.
>> The way that it's fun, it doesn't take itself too seriously sometimes.
And also
like the video, the styling, the branding of everything.
We were just
like, if we were pop stars who played rock, like what would we do?
And it was
just very fun to explore that area cuz
we're such huge fans of the genre.
