[14] She delivers the lyrics in a rhythmic manner [15] and incorporates vocal fry. [5]
For a version of the song made for Loud Luxury, lyrics were added "Guys, I'm still fucking looking for my man. Will you help me find my man?" The G6 Trust Fund remix has a intro where she says ( presumably in a call )Hi, yeah, I just left the date And I dunno, am I asking for too much? And this guy was really cute and he was a musician and he was super passionate about what he did But I don't know, all l'm looking for [1]
