THE STORY BEHIND THE SONG

Nina

Bad dates, good material

My date brought his own hot sauce, called his mum on speaker and got my name wrong. I left with a story for my friends and decided it deserved a chorus we could dance to.

The story became a song.

Why this song was made

A disastrous dinner becomes a bright, cheeky electronic-rock breakup anthem before the relationship even starts. The date arrives late, talks about his ex and tries to charge for the parking, leaving the singer with one excellent chorus.

Read the lyrics
[Verse 1] You arrived in mirrored sunglasses, though the sun went down at five, Said the photos hadn't captured how impressive you are live. You ordered for the both of us, then asked me what I eat, Then talked for twenty minutes about how you fall asleep. Your ex appeared in every topic, twice inside the bread, By the time the starters landed, I could name her dog and shed. [Chorus] At least I got a song, You got my name wrong. You were bad for an evening, But the chorus is strong. No second date, no hard feelings, Just a bass line and a reason to move on. At least I got a song. [Verse 2] You brought your own hot sauce and asked the waiter for a spoon, Then called your mum on speaker so she could approve the room. You said you felt a connection; I was trying not to choke, Then asked me for the parking as you handed me my coat. The bill arrived, you vanished, then returned with quite a speech, About how modern dating ought to be a learning opportunity. [Bridge] Outside, I phoned my best friend; she said, Please tell me you're free, There's chips around the corner and a dance floor after three. I laughed until the whole night changed its meaning in my head, What a waste of decent eyeliner. What a brilliant night instead. [Chorus] At least I got a song, You got my name wrong. You were bad for an evening, But the chorus is strong. No second date, no hard feelings, Just a bass line and a reason to move on. At least I got a song.
