One More Hit
Liner Notes
"One More Hit" started with a simple goal—using the same chord progression as Bo Burnham’s, "All Eyes on Me." (4-1-5-6). From there, the song took on a life of its own.
The chorus was inspired by a quote from @Lakiah | Real Self Care on TikTok, something I’d saved knowing it would find its way into a song. The rest came together naturally, and I even threw in some Bono-style ad-libs at the end. #pop #electronic #fawmtronica #vocals #political
Lyrics
Verse 1
One more hit That is it Then I’ll stop On TikTok
Missing out See her shout Let him cook I am shook
Chorus
They get rich off our attention They get rich off of our sickness They get rich off of our rage We’re the product that they trade
Verse 2 Picking sides Draws my eyes My brain rots As I’m shocked
I’m a fiend For dopamine Gotta scroll Here I go
Comments
Great that it is a reasoned response rather than an angry or hurt one. A NIN edge vocal or distorted one could make it seem ironical or ambiguous.
Bo would approve. This is excellent. It’s a total ear worm to boot. I’m going to be humming this to myself later. I guarantee it.
I love how this is just slightly haunting with both the sound design and the lyrics. Nice!
Suitably dark vibe. Love the combo of the melody and the ominous synth. The message hits the spot too. Pretty wild riser in the middle and super-catchy outro.
