Group Discussion of Lyrics and Star Persona
By Julia Jin

Potentional singer
Potentional rapper

She runs away to be freed from real life and herself
She thinks she is beyond but deeply aware of her inperfect flaws
The true essence – hidden face
Willem de Kooning, Untitled XXXIII (1977)
Delicate and indomitable elegance

Outside: Vauge, naïve and nonchalant
Cy Twombly – Untitled series
Key:
Sprezzatura

Layers + complication = Creates: mystery and facination
She doesn’t really try or do anything, but yet everyone seems to care
about what she does. (Link back to Sprezzatura)
Mark Rothko:
Nuanced

RED: sex appeal and hidden desire
Andy & Jed

What she finds valueble: places and faces: represents signifigance

Lyrics – without the rapping
Maybe I’m bad (rebellious?)
But I can be a good time (she enjoys going out with her friends, think she's
fun to be around)
Late night dance
Long into the midnight
No need to act
Cos I don’t want a good guy
I just wanna good time (doesn't care about relationships, only cares about
going out and having fun, perhaps nodding to the idea of one night stands?)
Play the right song (is into music, wants something to dance to)
Hold me in the right way
Taking too long
Who cares what they might say (once again talking about how she doesn't
care what other people say and instead just wants to have a fun night out)
Maybe I’m wrong
But I think you should take it
Life is what we make it (independent, wants to live life her own way, expects
men to play to her)
Henny and a taste of me
I can be a lil naive some days
Won’t you take control of me
If I give you permission (she's in control, the man is the one who has a
lack of control)
Tonight on one condition
Just one night only (one night stand, doesn't want a relationship)
On and on
When the light comes up we gone (only on a night out, doesn't matter the
day after)
