Fans are fairly certain two songs on the brand new album are in regards to the Rutherford romance. First, there’s Skinny, the opening monitor wherein she sings:
Fell in love for the primary time / With a good friend it’s a superb signal / Feelin’ off after I really feel nice / 21 took a lifetime
Since it’s about falling in love AND mentions turning 21, followers naturally are placing two and two collectively right here, and so they add as much as Jesse. Innerestingly although, the track is generally about not feeling as happy-go-lucky on the within as you look on the surface.

The different monitor is extra difficult. It’s referred to as Wildflower. This one listeners have decided is about Jesse’s ex-girlfriend Devon Lee Carlson.

The track is in regards to the guilt she felt, a relationship being haunted by an ex, all these emotions getting jumbled up and poisoning what ought to be a pure, lovely feeling. Billie emotionally delivers the traces:
She was cryin’ on my shoulder / All I may do was maintain her / Only made us nearer till July / Now I do know that you simply love me / You don’t must remind me / I ought to put all of it behind me, shouldn’t I?
And…
But I see her behind my thoughts on a regular basis / Like a fever, like I’m burning alive, like an indication / Did I cross the road?
And…
Well, good issues don’t final / And life strikes so quick / I’d by no means ask who was higher / ‘Cause she couldn’t be / More totally different from me / Happy and free in leather-based
With traces like “Do you see her in the back of your mind in my eyes?” and “But every time you touch me, I just wonder how she felt”? Yeah… Much extra intense and intimate than something Billie communicates on social media and interviews. And you realize what? That’s precisely the way in which it ought to be. Songs are larger, extra highly effective than dialog. Speaking of which, the music imbues even these wonderful traces with a lot extra that means.
