“It’s a song about a moment where I felt frustrated about how people had no patience anymore. They had their phones and caught a busker that was really hot, and people wanted me to go, go, go. If you replace the word ‘dance’ with ‘sing,’ it’s pretty self-explanatory,” she told Billboard in an interview in 2019.
Her debut album is expected at the end of 2020.
