The first song I fell in love with
When I was a kid, my mom gave me her iPod, and I fell in love with all her music from the 70s and 80s. I’d sing Call Me by Blondie at the top of my lungs, jumping on the bed. What a great song.
The first single I downloaded
I was in [Disney sitcom] Shake It Up when I started falling in love with hip-hop. I went on a binge and discovered BedRock by Young Money. I was so obsessed that I ended up writing an essay about why I admire Lil Wayne for school.
The song I know every lyric to
I became obsessed with 6 Foot 7 Foot by Lil Wayne featuring Cory Gunz because of the music video. The incredible visuals made it easy to memorise the lyrics, even though he’s an incredibly fast rapper.
The song I do at karaoke
I don’t hate a lot of things in life, but I hate karaoke. The only time I did it, I did Driving Home for Christmas by Chris Rea, even though it was the middle of summer.
The song I can no longer listen to
Any of my exes’ music!
The best song to play at a party
I’m going to go with Bops by Coi Leray: “I got bops, yeah, yeah.” It’s just so good. She’s got bops. What else does she need to say?
The song I secretly like
I’ve never been much for pop in general, even though there’s some really great artists. My best friend really got me into Ballad of a Homeschooled Girl by Olivia Rodrigo.
The best song to have sex to
Pony by Ginuwine.
The song that changed my life
Yesterday by Atmosphere with Ant and Slug: “I thought I saw you yesterday / But I know it wasn’t you ’cos you passed away, Dad.” My father died when I was 10, so every time I hear that line, it’s kind of beautiful.
The song that makes me cry
You can feel both the indifference and the pain in XXXTentacion’s voice when he sings Changes.
The song I’d play at my funeral
I’m too superstitious for that one!
The song that gets me up in the morning
10 Times by Stunna Girl. Why? Well, when you add it to your playlist, you’ll see what I mean!
