Hahaha no no - it means My Dearest in the Persian/Farsi language. So teeeechnically, it’s also wrong when he says “be my, be my, azizam [my dearest]” because my is already in the word 😆

But it’s interesting because he’s using the tempo and melodic tones from Persian pop music, which is usually not found in popular music elsewhere. The time signature used is called 6/8 and I genuinely don’t know how it’ll sit with western listeners haha

Hmm I get the Youngblood 5sos comparison but its nor a direct sample. Just a similar melody and chord progression. This sounds really basic tbh

There's only one thing about it I like—the artwork cover.
