i NEED to talk about this song so bad because it has genuinely consumed me. i've liked adéla since dream academy and it's amazing how far she's gone :(( this song is so beautifully written because yeah girl THE BADDEST BITCHES AINT IN LA.
other than the song being so incredibly catchy and the whole swaggerina thing (amazing btw), the story behind the song gets me genuinely emotional.
“My grandfather smuggled the posters in from Germany,” she shares, “It made me think, ‘There are so many beautiful girls with dreams who will never get their flowers like my mom’. I wrote this for her and the billion other bitches who are probably cooler than me.” - Adéla
like good fucking lord, her seeing a photo of her mom standing in front of a wall of western pop culture posters and feeling inspired to make a song dedicated to immigrants and people all around the world chasing their dreams-- come on now, like actually shut up i'll cry.
i'm very much so a california girl (not LA tho that's not me), i also come from an immigrant family. truly the part that really gets me is the story of a girl from somewhere else, having big hopes and dreams, and chasing it. there are so many woman across the globe that have dreams, so much talent and persistence are overlooked. and don't even get me started on her mom, it makes me so emotional cuz like yeah every girl has a dream.
anyways, no matter where you are in the world, you deserve to hope and chase your goals, because everyone is tea and i know it.
