My new synthpop single "I Wanna Get to Know You" is Out Now

[hoeslay 4,182]

Hi friends! I just dropped the first single/song from my upcoming body of work "IRIS" <3 It's called "I Wanna Get to Know You" and it's a dreamy synthpop banger that I hope you all enjoy! It's about the most major crush I had for the past couple of years. I was trying to write this song for a few years and couldn't quite find the wording. What do you tell to someone you're so heavily infatuated with that summarizes all these complex feelings? To be loved is to be known and I realized that above all else - I wanted to simply get to know him more and hoped he maybe felt the same. That crush didn't work out but I released the demo a year ago and I've been performing it live a lot over the last year and it's really become more about community and self. How do we find the people in our lives who truly want to know our real selves and stick around for the journey? The song is bilingual (a bit trilingual at the end too lol) so I'll post lyrics with translations below.

Lyrics: 

Spoiler

[Verse 1]
I wanna get to know you
More than I do now
Get closer to you now
F*ck around and find out
You're so tender
Ocean blue
You got me thinkin' about you
It's all the time
I wanna get to know you

[Verse 2]
Yo quiero conocerte
Sentir tus labios al atardecer
No me dejes desaparecer 
Caer al mar pero morir de sed
Lo que ves no es lo que parece
Lo que has encontrado es el presente
Algo nuevo y diferente
¿Cariño, quieres conocerme?

{Chorus}
(I wanna get, I wanna get get get)
(I wanna get, I wanna get get get)
(I wanna get, I wanna get get get)
(I wanna get, I wanna get get get)

[Outro]
Je veux à mieux vous connaître
Je veux être dans tes rêve 
Comme tu es dans le miens 
Je veux que tu sois à moi 
Para siempre o por un día
Por un momento
I wanna get to know you
Do you wanna get to know me?

TRANSLATION:

Verse 2 (Spanish):
I wanna get to know you
Feel your lips at sunset
Don't let me disappear
Fall into the sea but die of thirst
What you see isn't what it seems
What you've found is the present
Something new and different
Darling, do you wanna get to know me? 

Outro:
(French)
I want to know you better
I want to be in your dreams
Like you are in mine
I want you to be mine
(Spanish)
Forever or just a day
For just a moment
(English)
I wanna get to know you
Do you wanna get to know me?

Eargasming ;o gotta follow thread for vid drop

[Skyana Rava 1,490]

It's actually so good 

[Skyana Rava 1,490]

Yup, the outro is just 
The classic vibe, plus the Gaga influence   I mean you are paying homage to her while also making your own sound.

Already feeling hyped I was here for the debut

Stop you’re too kind 😭😭🫶🏻

I do feel like I’m really stepping into my sound after doing this for quite a few years now to not much success haha. I love that it gives Gaga influence and the classic and 80s vibes. I love being a product of what’s inspired me as well as making something new. 🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹
