Be As Silly As You Can

edward: hey bella, how about you stay human?

“Well, guys have had that moment too on the phone, this is not just a girl thing. I think that um with this song we really just wanted to have this song not really be fully taking itself seriously. So the lyrics, that’s a tone decision that we mad in the studio. Like, we literally wanted to say ‘Hey kids, spelling is fun!’ Because we wanted everybody to know that this song isn’t really serious. This song is not a serious love song. It’s about embracing and owning that you at times feel like you’re irreplaceable and I want those times to be more often when they hear this song and it gets stuck in their head. I think with a pop song you have the ability to get something stuck in people’s heads and I just want it to be a mantra that kind of is much more self-love than what we often at times feel which is self-loathing and insecurity.”

“As many as it takes.. as many as it takes. I didn’t expect to meet this kitten. I met him on the video set actually cause we had a scene where I wanted there to be a scene where symbolically like.. I wanted it to be the symbolism of like if you’re into someone, don’t just do what you think people like. Don’t do what you’ve heard. Don’t give a girl just what you think she would like cause you think girls like these things. Get to know somebody and that will be more interesting if you actually know someone for who they are and what they think is cool. So we had this scene where he gives me flowers to try and win me back and I say no, he gives me a ring to try to win me back and I say no. And then he pulls a tiny kitten out of his jacket and I’m like ‘Okay! You clearly know me.’ So I show up on set and there this tiny little kitten, the sweetest kitten, I fell immediately in love with this cat. He just started purring and immediately we were best friends and it was just set. And then they’re like ‘He doesn’t have a home so..’ I just knew immediately yeah.”
