Loyal to Me

Hi, it's Nina Nesbitt here And I'm going to tell you a little bit about how my song "Loyal to Me" became a song So I was really inspired by a lot of '90s and noughties RnB at the time And I just kinda got into and I had gone back through the catalog Listening to stuff like TLC, Lauren Hill, Destiny's Child And I really wanted to write a song that sounded like that, I guess Uhm, but I never really imagined me singing it So, I was sitting on my bed, in London, with my laptop up Um, just kinda trying out some melodies or some chords that I found, and, yeah I just imagined it for like a girl band or something, I'm not sure who, I guess Little Mix maybe And it has loads of harmonies in it and stuff It kinda started off as a bit of joke song at first, just a bit of fun of me on deal And then as it kept going I was like, "This is quite good, actually" And it was originally called "Two steps back" And the pre-chorus the, "If he never calls when he says he will" bit Was the chorus originally And I think when you're writing on your own, it's really hard to determine What part should be what and if something's actually good or not So I kinda just left it be for a while and then I had a session, and They were like, "Do you have anything you've been working on?" And I was like, "Yeah, I'm working on this, but I haven't finished it" So I played it for them, and they were like "Oh, this is really good, we should finish it" So, I finished the chorus in a session in London And then I was like, "Oh, I actually really like this, I wanna keep this for myself" So, lyrically I wrote this for one of my best friends That has just started dating a guy that she really liked But she wasn't sure if he liked her back Uhm, because they'd gone on all these amazing dates and he'd tell her that he really liked her And he wanted to be with her, and then she would go home and not hear from him For like a fortnight, and she was like, "I feel like he might be seeing other people" So, I said to her, "You know, you need to, move away from this guy immediately He's bad news, he had a bit of a reputation" And yeah, it's basically about all the symptoms that come with dating What I would call a fuckboy, or a fuckgirl, 'cause they're right there too And, just kinda see, you know, if any of these things are happening Maybe take a closer look at what's going on But I think when you like someone, it's easy to make excuses for their behaviour, and You know, kind of ignore that it's happening So, this is a song that will hopefully help people It's like a self-help song for dating, and yeah, it's kind of a fun one on the album So, it's not to be taken too seriously But, yeah, hopefully people like it Thanks for listening
