“It ('baby girl, he's so boring') was definitely in part inspired by a girl whose ex-boyfriend was really upset about her moving on with a woman, and was sort of shaming her for it. It's a playful take on those really deep feelings of guilt and shame, of self worth and self destruction, especially in queer relationships. It’s also about gender roles in some ways, and to me a way to call out some men's feelings of inherent ownership over the women they have dated.
With the line “I don’t get what you owe him” I’m referring to the guilt that queer people often carry when they come out to their prior hetero partners. I dealt with so much of that when I first came out, and this song is kind of a reaction to all of the men that felt entitled to my sexuality over the years. It’s a light hearted reclaiming of those feelings of guilt and shame by trying to get the girl I’m seeing out of that headspace I was once in.
I think this song lives somewhere between playful and melancholic, and I just want people to have fun with whatever they take from it. It’s about so many different sides of myself— the side that wants so badly to be chosen or loved, and also the confident and sexy side of me that are over all the bullshit gender roles in society. It’s about my darkest shadows and it’s also not that deep, and I kind of love existing in both of those places at once. And mostly, it's a song for all the queer girlies out there.”
