"Mama's Eyes"
METTE

"Mama's Eyes" is a euphoric mix of R&B and pop that explores the idea of safety amid chaos and the duality of loving the freedom and independence of living your dream while yearning for the haven that a mother or mother figure provides.

You say keep my promises but I don't
I should probably listеn more, yeah, mother, I know
I just wanna be dancing again
I know
I'm to blame, I gotta heal these scars on my own
I should learn to listen more, yeah, mother, I know
I just wanna be dancing again
I know

As someone with a strong maternal presence in my family, I find comfort and reassurance even from thousands of kilometers away, in Paris. The song resonates deeply with me, reflecting my own experience of balancing the euphoria of pursuing my dreams with the longing for the nurturing and stability my mother has always given me.

Woah
I am who I ams
Love it or leave it, baby

While you reminisce, I've been gone
Two years and the fortnight
I'm friends with the low-lives
I'm drunk tryna get high
Still waiting to exhale
Come out of the shadows
Five feet, barely three quarters
In your stilettos
Like pineapple Mentos
Your favorite confection
I'm sweet like your perfume
Strong like your mind is
Your skin dripping richness, tend to your flowers without a mention
You won your wars, you laid down your sword then gave me the weapon

You say keep my promises but I don't
I should probably listеn more, yeah, mother, I know
I just wanna bе dancing again
I know
I'm to blame, I gotta heal these scars on my own
I should learn to listen more, yeah, mother, I know
I just wanna be dancing again
I know

Don't it feel good?
Don't it feel right?
When you come home to
Home to mama's eyes
Don't you feel good?
Full up with pride
Seeing yourself in
Self in mama's eyes

I am who I ams

You are every woman
Whitney and Chaka
No one can ever
Be put above you (Yeah)
I always believe in you, open my eyes if you say it's alright
Now I'm here at Heathrow, sunken and see through, tryna catch my flight
Hush now, she's speaking
Preaching her sermon (Yeah)
The golden rule is to never lose yourself for a person
Bebe and Cece play in our kitchen
Say mama, you in daddy's hoodie swinging your hips while you do the dishes

You say keep my promises but I don't
I should probably listen more, yeah, mother, I know
I just wanna be dancing again
I know

Don't it feel good?
Don't it feel right?
When you come home to
Home to mama's eyes
Don't you feel good?
Full up with pride
Seeing yourself in
Self in mama's eyes

Love it or leave it, baby

"Slowly"
Mortimer

Family isn’t just who you are born into: it’s also who you make of it. “Slowly” is a track that captures the unwavering adoration that Mortimer has for his wife. Love is something that goes beyond the surface, and with lyrics such as “The things I like about you most are / Way beyond what eyes can see,” Mortimer puts his adoration, and even obsession, with his wife, on display for the whole world to see.

Your vibe is like a gentle breeze, you
Make me feel all kinds of things
The things I like about you most are
Way beyond what eyes can see
I must be honest, though, I really
Like it when you love me slowly
Love me slowly

Hey, I'll bring some water to your garden
Genie inna flesh, I'll grant your wishes
In exchange for your time

The sun isn't the only thing that can rise
Neither is it nearly as bright as yuh smile
Damn, girl, I'm smitten by your grace
I'm really amazed
In each other's gaze

Love the way I fit inna yuh space
Put me in my place, girl
Never in a haste, twirl
Your vibe is like a gentle breeze, you
Make me feel all kinds of things
The things I like about you most are
Way beyond what eyes can see
I must be honest, though, I really
Like it when you love me slowly
Love me slowly

Girl, mi love it when yuh look in my eyes and tek it all
Introduce yuh to some different style, you get it all
Give up everything, tek me heart but in return
Yuh haffi promise fi never give it up, but anyhow
Fling it back, me love when yuh mek up yuh face
Yuh passionate, mi si seh yuh nuh hesitate
Know yuh kinda shy but still yuh deh pon any ting
Standing at attention to the tempo weh you swing
Your vibe is like a gentle breeze, you
Make me feel all kinds of things
The things I like about you most are
Way beyond what eyes can see
I must be honest, though, I really
Like it when you love me slowly
Love me slowly

Don't stop
Warmer than a fire
You're pulsating
Wanna stay inside
Chica me vuelvis loco
Estoy enamorado cada vez
Be my only Queen
You can trust that I
Wouldn't tell you lies
I ain't got that time

Your vibe is like a gentle breeze, you
Make me feel all kinds of things
The things I like about you most are
Way beyond what eyes can see
I must be honest, though, I really
Like it when you love me slowly
Love me slowly

"PAPA"
Mélanie Roux

When I was growing up fathers or father figure were rarely potrayed positively. In shows I watched they mostly were used as the comic relief or were just straight up neglectful. Which is why I have decided to send this song where Melanie sings about how no matter what her father will be there for her.

Lyrics

When the sky turns gray you're always there dad
When I'm hurting in life it's you who heals dad
And if courage has a price it's you who wins dad
When I fall into the void I know that you catch me at the bottom
And even if today I become a woman I will remain forever his baby
He would cross thousands of flames, his love never goes out

Oh dad, of all men there's only you who has never doubted me
Oh dad
Oh dad, of all men there's only you who has never doubted me
Oh dad

And when I imagine myself without you, I'm afraid dad
Life is not like in the movies, you've told me 100 times
And in his arms like at home
Even if I lose my mind
His love is seasonless
He will always love me strongly

And even if today I become a woman I will remain forever his baby
He would cross thousands of flames, his love never goes out
Oh dad, of all men there is only you who has never doubted me
Oh dad
Oh dad, of all men there is only you who has never doubted me
Oh dad

TEAM ROMANTIC
S9 E6: Love Is In The Air
Connecting theme: Romantic Love

Song 1: Wolf Alice - "Don't Delete The Kisses" ( Eva)



Song 2: Sleeping At Last - Bloom (Eros)" (Mel)



Song 3: Amanda Tenfjord - Plans" (Toylet)


For this episode, Team Romantic want to show you judges the evolution of romantic relationships and the ways they can end.

We start with Eva's submission, which is symbolic to Eva as it represents the start of their current relationship, in which Eva crushes on her partner for a long time, and this song echoes that sentiment. Eva's song for our group idea is all about the beginning of a relationship, the crushing and the eventual getting together, of which every relationship has to do.

Mel's submission is the good ending of a relationship, realising you are soulmates and after marrying, declaring your love for each other and how much you'd do to still be with that person. Delcarations of love are simple, emotional things, so the string instrumentation used here echoes that simplicity, whilst helping provide all the emotion the lyrics provide.

However, Toylet's submission here is the bad end of a relationship, ending in a break up. Not all romantic relationships are meant to be, and this submission deals with a quieter breakup and an almost civil decision, even if there is still feelings on one side as many break ups happen to have.

Season 9 Episode 6

Team: Friendship
Our team has decided to go with a storyline that explores important yet casual pinpoints of what makes a friendship: from the beginning, and the ups and downs of a friendship. In our findings, we found that our pinpoints of this storyline is under-represented, especially the downs of friendship, which is portrayed below.

Kuchi-san "Preferisco Te" by CARA ft. Chadia Rodriguez "Preferisco te" or "I prefer you", the song of my choice, explores the theme of the beginning of a new friendship by telling a story about various experiences and preferences against the emerging significance of a new person in the singer's life. The lyrics illustrate a contrast between the singer's current life, filled with chaotic and somewhat rebellious experiences ("Pillola blu, pillola rossa," "Preferisco il fumo alle ciminiere") and the impact of a new connection. This person acknowledges past mistakes and unconventional choices, hinting at a desire for change or something new. They repeated "Preferisco te" (I prefer you) toward this new person, which we can understand a shift in priorities, highlighting how this new relationship is favored over past behaviors or superficial experiences. The song also reflects on how this new friendship stands out against the backdrop of past disappointments and relationships, like they compares the new person with past partners or experiences ("Sei quasi il mio nuovo ex, ma ora preferisco te"). Despite the presence of past complexities or issues, the new connection feels more authentic and desirable. ~Kuchi-san~

LYRICS SPOILER: Click to show Pillola blu, pillola rossa Poco normal, poco importa Per raddrizzare la mia luna storta Ho dovuto farne qualcuna sporca Preferisco il mio quartiere Per gente per niente per bene Le finte bionde alle stronze vere Preferisco il fumo alle ciminiere Baci da Giuda, schiena sui muri Cinque minuti, con gli occhi chiusi Cuori spezzati sotto i vestiti Dieci carati dentro i rifiuti Entri, io esco a fumare-mare Rimmel che cola in un mare, mare Se torno dentro non sento più te Chiamami, chiamami Alle pare e agli anni Ottanta preferisco te Anche al cielo in una stanza preferisco te E non c'era nessuno che diceva: "Hai sbagliato" Ogni volta che lo faccio preferisco Na-na-na-na-na-na, na-na-na-na Preferisco Na-na-na-na-na-na, na-na-na-na Preferisco Sto in giro con le friends, la mia really, really gang Sei quasi il mio nuovo ex, ma ora preferisco te Se lo chiedo alle mie friends cosa pensano di te La mia really, really gang forse preferisce te Ad un bacio con troppa lingua A quando ci esci e sembri sua figlia Alla sua ex che un po' mi assomiglia A chi fa per sé, a chi fa per finta Come in un film di Luc Besson Felici mai come Lèon Spegnimi tutte le fiamme che ho Non è vietato Ci resti un'altra notte nella mia testa La cassa dritta, la luce spenta Da qualche parte c'è un'altra festa Alle pare e agli anni Ottanta preferisco te Anche al cielo in una stanza preferisco te E non c'era nessuno che diceva: "Hai sbagliato" Ogni volta che lo faccio preferisco Na-na-na-na-na-na, na-na-na-na Preferisco Na-na-na-na-na-na, na-na-na-na Na-na-na-na-na-na, na-na-na-na Preferisco Na-na-na-na-na-na, na-na-na-na

Maxima XCX "Life Could Be Sweet" by Ayla D'Lyla and Miss Madeline "Life Could Be Sweet" by Ayla D'Lyla and Miss Madeline explores the highs and lows of friendship, capturing the joy and support friends bring into our lives. The upbeat tempo and catchy lyrics highlight the positive aspects of camaraderie, celebrating how friends can make life feel vibrant and sweet. However, beneath the surface, the song also hints at the darker side of social interactions, subtly warning about the potential for peer pressure to lead to harmful behaviors, such as drug use. Through its dual themes, the song serves as both an ode to the benefits of friendship and a cautionary tale about the risks of succumbing to negative influences within social circles. ~Maxima XCX~

Miz Bulge Area "End Of A Friendship" by Julia Jacklin At the core of "End of a Friendship" are Jacklin's introspective lyrics, which paint a vivid picture of a relationship that's slowly unraveling. The song's narrative is both personal and universal, resonating with anyone who has experienced the gradual drifting apart from someone they once held dear. Jacklin's words are tender yet powerful, each line laden with emotion as she recounts memories and moments that now seem distant and unattainable. The song follows the timeline of a last meeting with a friend where one side is acting distant and cold. The song culminates in the second verse where the friendship is ultimately broken. The other side "listed the things about [the lyrical character] she didn't like". In situations like these, you feel powerless. The thought of being abandoned by a person whom you have trusted, and the fact that this is entirely out of your control, can seem like the end of the world in this exact moment. The character "stood there in silence, accepted [their] fate", having felt the weight in their stomach. The song culminates in a poignant guitar solo where Jacklin's adlibs, conveying sadness and desperation, can be heard. ~Miz Bulge Area~

LYRICS SPOILER: Click to show The night started out well She was having fun, far as I could tell I paid for the meal, then went up to bed Lay there wondering what's happening in her head I put it all down to the heat and wine We don't have to agree all of the time Remember she wants to be by your side Be by your side All my love is spinning 'round the room If only it would land on something soon Woke up to hear her say That she couldn't stand it, that she couldn't stay Out here on the road, it didn't feel right Shе listed the things about me shе didn't like I sat there in silence, accepted our fate We always found it hard to relate To what we both want and what we both need And who we both want to be All my love is spinning 'round the room If only it would land, plant and bloom All my love is spinning 'round the room If only it would land on something soon But all my words are caught up in a cloud You know someday you'll have to say them out loud
