FOOL AROUND Lyrics
(Hey, hey, hey)
(Hey, hey)
[Verse 1: Yasmeen]
Don't wanna do the small talk
I don't have much to say
Don't wanna see you when you wake up
I don't wanna know your name
[Pre-Chorus: Yasmeen]
When we're kissing, taking off our clothes
In the kitchen, eating Domino's
I don't care about your other hoes
[Chorus: Yasmeen]
I'm just tryna fool around
I just wanna fool around
[Verse 2: Taylor]
I know that you've been checked out
I know that you're afraid
You only call me when you're fucked up
Makes it easy to escape
(I'll wait, I'll wait, yeah, yeah)
On a mission, taking off my clothes
And I'll leave it, let you take control
Got me holding out for something more
But tonight
[Chorus: Taylor, Yasmeen; Taylor & Yasmeen]
We just gonna fool around
I just wanna fool around
I'm not tryna fall in love with you, baby
I just wanna fool around
I think I'm falling in love with you, baby
But you just wanna fool around

‘FOOL AROUND’ is about the time old story of going out with the intentions of getting lucky and locking eyes on your target. My co-writer taylor from earth and I thought it would be interesting if we incorporated the actual dialogue in between two people’s heads during that interaction, and changing the power dynamic so that the woman is in charge. It was originally inspired by the movements of renowned dancer and choreographer, Brian Puspos. We were invited to take part in creating a ‘Reverse Choreography,’ which was a unique experience because we were making music based on a pre-made dance routine instead of the other way around.

YAS and I made ‘FOOL AROUND’ completely over Zoom during quarantine. It was the by product of a really fun project that we got to be a part of called ‘Reverse Choreography’ (shout-out the team over at STEEZY). The song that came out ended up being a guitar-driven R&B jam about two star-crossed lovers.
