“I’m excited,” Ella said. “I really want to do music. It’s something I wanted to do as a kid, but I feel like since he’s already…I don’t know. I feel like he’s so good at what he does, so it gives me more confidence to make a song with him, which is why I never like put out any of my own music cause I’m not really like confident in it. So it’s like, if he thinks it’s good, then I believe in him.”
Ella also jokingly mentioned that A-Boogie is “kind of annoying” while recording. Apparently, the artist has previously interrupted her recording while at the studio to offer advice on how to improve her audio. Ella revealed that this sometimes causes her to shut down, but that she also understands A-Boogie’s attempt to teach her.
Ella’s Viral Lyrics
Although The Shade Room only published a behind-the-scenes snippet, one of Ella’s lines in the song had folks buzzing online. She sung, “I hate your player ways, but I like expensive things.” Well, Ella clarified that she wrote the viral line. And there’s less to the lyrics than people think.
“To be honest, it was like I didn’t want to think too much about it and that just rhymed, it just flowed with it. I was like ‘whatever,’ but no that’s not true,” Ella said. “I can buy my own expensive things. That’s one thing I’m not like that type of girl, like I don’t care about that stuff.”
She continued, “…me as a person, I’m very independent. Like I never had anybody do things for me until I got with him.”
“He’s the first person that just started offering a bunch of stuff to me that I would never expect someone to do for me. Cause he doesn’t have to. Boyfriend or not the things that he has offered to me, I feel like nobody has to do that for me and I still feel that way. So, that’s not true.”
