After everything you put me through I somehow still believe in you, oh (I do, I do, I do) [PRE CHORUS 2] but I know in a week or so, you’ll fade away again and I wish that I cared Hey are you still there? Good [CHORUS 2] Maybe I’m just not better than this, I haven’t tried Cause maybe you’ll finally choose me after you’ve had more time I thought I was a fast learner, but guess I won’t ever mind, guess I won’t ever mind Maybe I blame my mother bleeding into my stride Maybe it was my father and his wandering eyes (It’s their fault that) I’ll always be in your corner Cause I don’t feel alive ‘til I’m burning on your backburner [POST] Oh, and I know that it’s sad that I settle for the backburner Oh, guess I won’t ever mind crisping up on your backburner Oh, as long as you still think of me Oh Written by: Nicole Zefanya Produced by: NIKI & Ethan Gruska VIDEO CREDITS: Directed by - Isaac Ravishankara Executive Producer - Doug Klinger, Carlos López Estrada Production Company - Antigravity Academy Supervising Producer - Callie Schuttera Producer - Gabriela Ledesma 1st Assistant Director - Alison Chan Camcorder Operator - Isaac Ravishankara Director of Photography - Drew Bienemann 1st Assistant Camera - Paolo Arriola Chief Lighting Technician - Sam Wilkerson Dolly Grip - Joshua George Grip - Jesse Cairnie Production Designer - Megan Fenton Production Trucking - Parker Smith Transportation - Flynn Nicholls Editor - Henry Kaplan Colorist - Dante Pasquinelli @ Ethos Studio Sound Design & Mix - Isaac Ravishankara Director’s Rep - LAB inc NIKI Hair: Athena Alberto NIKI Makeup: Sinh Vo NIKI Stylist: Katie Qian Follow NIKI http://instagram.com/nikizefanya http://twitter.com/nikizefanya http://facebook.com/nikizefanya https://www.tiktok.com/@niki #NIKI #Backburner #Nicole
