(gentle music) Super excited.
I love that record so much.
It's mostly about when you're in a relationship with somebody and you know that it's probably best for you to not be together, but you still have these feelings that you can't really control or describe.
Although you know this relationship has come to a close.
This next song that I'm about to perform is called, "Not Tonight."
I'm talking about how it's so much more to be done.
It's so much work that we have to do.
It's bigger than us.
So as much as I wanna stay with you and lay with you, I can't because the mission isn't done and it's so much more to do.
So I can't stay tonight and I hope you enjoy this record and let's have some fun.

One of my favorite lines is "I told her offset all them diamonds like I'm Cardi B and pardon me, I'm pulling strings but this ain't archery."
I love that, vibey, and my drummer sounds fantastic on there.
(chuckles) All my life, entertaining has been such a huge part of who I am.
I never thought I'd be doing anything other than entertaining, whether it was movies, sports, music.
But I think when I found music, I really just found my niche and I'm an entertainer first, I like to think of myself as an entertainer and then a writer so everything I do, I entertain even when I'm just not on stage.
My mom has always told me I'm a ham, I got moxie.
So I've always just been very like, ah!
So like I think now me getting older and making my own music, that definitely translates so much.
Just the person I am comes through in my music and the energy and just the beats that I choose and everything.
I even got a drummer.
(chuckles) My dad is heavily into music and my sister is as well so when she was younger and I was just a baby, she was signed to Left Eye from TLC and they traveled the world and sold millions of records.
And as a little baby, I went on the TLC fan mail tour with my dad and with my sister, and I think living in that and being in it every day, I think subconsciously as I grew up, that just became a huge piece of me and who I am today.
So I definitely think that was one of those moments that determined my trajectory with music.
The one word that I would use to describe me, my music, my band and who I am is love.
I would choose love because any other word that I would choose falls under that umbrella.
Love is the strongest thing.
Love is the unconditional... Love is the key to eternal life.
And love is everything and love is me.
We are love.
We are here to give you some love.
(chuckles) It's just perfect because this next song is all about love and bringing people together.
We want all of our shows to feel like parties.
We don't even want 'em to be shows.
We wanna bring you together and make it feel like we partying together.
I don't even want you to feel like I'm performing to you.
I want you to feel like you're performing with me and yeah, we gonna have a party so let's do it.

We always have so much fun performing that record and we had even more fun recording it.
It's such a...
I don't know it feels, it feels like a motivational song to me.
It feels like, you know, you gotta get up and get out there.
I gotta make it happen.
Love it.
This next song is honestly one of my most favorite.
Rest in peace to my brother Matty P. We recorded this record in LA, I think like 2018.
It was like three in the morning.
We didn't think we'd be recording anything else for the day.
And then, I just end up singing this hook and it came out so amazing.
One of my most favorites.
I love the guitar, I love everything about it.
And my drummer sounds phenomenal, so let's do it.
(lively keyboard music) - [Backup Singer] Damn this beat so hard.
(upbeat music) ♪ Walkin' on that water and it's wet just like Dasani ♪ ♪ I can't tell you lies because you always tell somebody ♪ ♪ I'm drinking Hpnotiq and that girl, yeah, she hypnotic ♪ ♪ Smoking some exotic and that girl hot like a sauna ♪ ♪ Don't tell me your name, baby, I just like your persona ♪ ♪ I like Lil Wayne, but see my girl, she like Young Thugger ♪ ♪ While I'm listenin' to Thugger ♪ ♪ I remember when I loved her ♪ See, I was into her but now I told her that it's time's up ♪ ♪ And if she gon' get my drum or something ♪ ♪ I'ma pick the drums up ♪ And I was thinking 'bout you last night ♪ ♪ But now the sun's up ♪ Yeah, yeah, yeah ♪ Thinking 'bout you every time before the sun come up ♪ ♪ Thinking 'bout you, thinking 'bout me ♪ ♪ Thinking 'bout me too, I think I want you ♪ ♪ Thinking 'bout me too, I think I want you ♪ ♪ Thinking 'bout you every time before the sun come up ♪ ♪ Thinking 'bout you, thinking 'bout me, yeah ♪ ♪ Thinking 'bout me too ♪ I think I want you ♪ Thinking 'bout me too, I think I want you ♪ (upbeat music) ♪ Can't tell if I'm coming or I'm going ♪ ♪ Thinking 'bout you every night and every morning ♪ ♪ Can you love me 'til my time is up ♪ ♪ I will dress you up, I'll wake you up ♪ ♪ I'll tell to roll it up ♪ I got some higher learning for you ♪ ♪ I can't tell you, gotta show you ♪ ♪ She gon' do it how she 'posed to, yeah ♪ ♪ I'm sitting back like I'm 'posed to ♪ ♪ Don't like how all these girls move ♪ ♪ In a 'Rari with her, where there's no roof ♪ ♪ I was into her but now I told her that it's time's up ♪ ♪ And if she gon' get my drum or something ♪ ♪ I'm gonna pick the drums up ♪ And I was thinking 'bout you last night ♪ ♪ But now the sun's up ♪ Yeah, yeah, yeah ♪ Thinking 'bout you every time before the sun come up ♪ ♪ Thinking 'bout you, thinking 'bout me ♪ ♪ Thinking 'bout me too, I think I want you ♪ ♪ Thinking 'bout me too, I think I want you ♪ ♪ Thinking 'bout you every time before the sun come up ♪ ♪ Thinking 'bout you, thinking 'bout me, yeah ♪ ♪ Thinking 'bout me too, I think I want you ♪ ♪ Thinking 'bout me too, I think I want you ♪ (lively music) (gentle music) Sounds so beautiful, don't you agree?
(chuckles) Yeah.
(gentle music) I think today is one of the most important times, today, 2023.
I think it's one of the most important times to be expressive and to be (clears throat) young, hot, and vulnerable.
You must say how you feel.
You must say it as soon as you feel it.
It's so important right now.
Especially because my generation, our generation is very desensitized because of how easily we can see things and how there's a constant stream of things that we never asked to see popping up in our face so it makes us very desensitized to like the world and actual real problems that's going on.
So I wanna be one of those people that inspire young people my age to feel and it's okay to feel everything and it's okay to take your feelings, understand them and digest them, like that's okay.
You don't have to be numb, you don't have to not care.
It's cool to care.
Young, hot, and vulnerable.
That is, that's everything.
That's the motto.
That's the brand I want.
Like I said I wanna be okay like it's cool, we're beautiful, we're cute, we cry, we dress really nice and like we're in touch with our feelings.
That's important and that's the message I wanna send.
Be in touch with your feelings, be vulnerable, stay young and stay hot.
Anybody can be young, hot and vulnerable.
My granddad can be young, hot, and vulnerable.
Stay youthful, stay hot, stay honest, stay emotional.
On this next song right here, I honestly love it so much.
It's not out on streaming right now.
So this is a brand new song just for you and just for me.
It's called "Living Suicide."
And I'm saying that to say like just living with no doors, living as crazy as I want.
Finding the peace in the chaos.
Yeah, living suicide.
Let's do it.
(gentle music) Yeah.
(gentle music) ♪ Yeah, yeah.
♪ I gave you time, you made me wait ♪ ♪ Held your hand, we went on dates ♪ ♪ That's your man, make him wait ♪ ♪ I'ma pick you up and I won't be late ♪ ♪ Damn this weather, dinner late ♪ ♪ She get wetter than the lake ♪ I don't wanna me in my space but you move into the safe ♪ ♪ I'll worry about mine, you go worry about yours ♪ ♪ Let me see who's inside with no doors ♪ ♪ She just wanna ride it like a Porsche ♪ ♪ I'm undecided, I can't be yours ♪ ♪ Yeah, oh, yeah ♪ Shut up ♪ Yeah, yeah, oh, yeah ♪ Let's go ♪ Yeah, yeah, oh, yeah ♪ Oh, yeah ♪ Yeah, yeah, oh, yeah ♪ Let me see who's inside, no doors ♪ ♪ Baby, why would I lie ♪ Would I lie, yeah ♪ Let me see who's inside, no doors ♪ ♪ No doors ♪ She just wanna ride, yeah ♪ Soon as I walk in, gotta check the room ♪ ♪ All of my demons came with me too ♪ ♪ All of the women they come in twos ♪ ♪ 'Cause they want their best friend to come with them too ♪ ♪ She ate it up and she ate a spoon ♪ ♪ She getting married, I want the bride ♪ ♪ I mean, Elena, I wouldn't lie ♪ ♪ Even though they running down, we still shine ♪ ♪ And I'll worry about mine, and you can worry about yours ♪ ♪ Shut up ♪ Let me see who's inside with no doors ♪ ♪ She just wanna ride it, uh-huh, like a Porsche ♪ ♪ Uh-huh, I'm undecided, I can't be yours ♪ ♪ Yeah, oh, yeah ♪ Oh, yeah ♪ Yeah, yeah, oh, yeah ♪ Oh, yeah ♪ Yeah, yeah, oh, yeah ♪ Oh, yeah ♪ Yeah, yeah, oh, yeah ♪ Oh, yeah ♪ And let me see who's inside with no doors ♪ ♪ Baby, why would I lie ♪ Baby, why would I lie ♪ Yeah, let me see who's inside, no doors ♪ ♪ No doors, no doors ♪ She just wanna ride, be yours ♪ ♪ Yeah, yeah, oh, yeah ♪ Oh, yeah ♪ Yeah, yeah, oh, yeah ♪ Oh, yeah ♪ Yeah, yeah, oh, yeah ♪ Oh, yeah ♪ Yeah, yeah, oh, yeah ♪ Oh, yeah (lively music) - (chuckles) Had to hit the cha cha on him real quick.
Had to move the hips on him real quick.
(chuckles) That song, like, it's no words for that instrumentation.
Like it's such a...
It's so exciting.
It's so now but it's very in the future like it can play now but it also can play in five years.
It's timeless, it's beautiful.
And then the arrangement on it is just... And then like what?
"Soon as I walk in gotta check the room.
All of my demons, they come in too.
All of these women, they come in twos 'cause they want their best friend to come with 'em too.
(chuckles) Come on, man.
Super hard.
I always love to perform it.
It's such a fun vibe.
Yeah, 100 %, we have so much fun.
I think one of our main things is to have fun but other than that, I think we're so... Everybody up here is so in love with the music.
So that's really what it's about.
So I think when when we hear it sounding really good, we just get that extra boost of energy like, "Oh my god, we're going crazy right now."
So it's awesome to have people up here that are just as passionate about the music as I am, and just makes the show that much more better.
I think a lot of times a lot of us have situations to where we don't all the way think it all the way through, so we don't always anticipate the ending or what it really will be, and most of the times we don't imagine it to end like that.
But we progress, we rally, we keep going.
I hope you love this one just as much as I love you.
