NINA NESBITT - SELFIES
Sitting In My Bedroom Tonight
Thinking Of How To Change Your Mind
Since You Walked Out My Life Again, Yeahah
So I Strike A Pose And Tilt My Chin
And Hold The Light To Suit My Skin
Your Favourite T-Shirt On Again
Counting Hours
Counting Lies
Three, Two, One
And I Smile
Taking Pictures Of Myself, Self, Self
Taking Pictures Of Myself, Self, Self
Guess I'm Reaching Out To Be Assured
All I Wanted Was To Be Adored
Now You're Telling Me I'm Vain, Vain, Vain, Yeah
But You Don't Feel My Pain, Pain, Pain
Facing Life Upon The Shelf, Shelf, Shelf
Taking Pictures Of Myself, Myself, Myself
Taking Pictures Of Myself
Taking Pictures Of Myself
Taking Pictures Of Myself
Taking Pictures Of Myself, Oh
I'll Post It Up In Black And White
With A Depressing Quote About Life
So That You Can See What I'm Going Through, Yeah
This Is Desperation At It's Best
A Conversation To Be Left
All My Pride Was Burnt By You
Counting Hours
Now I'm Counting Takes
Three, Two, One
And I'm Away
Taking Pictures Of Myself, Self, Self
Taking Pictures Of Myself, Self, Self
Guess I'm Reaching Out To Be Assured
All I Wanted Was To Be Adored
Now You're Telling Me I'm Vain, Vain, Vain, Yeah
But You Don't Feel My Pain, Pain, Pain
Facing Life Upon The Shelf, Shelf, Shelf
Taking Pictures Of Myself, Myself, Myself
Taking Pictures Of Myself
Taking Pictures Of Myself
Taking Pictures Of Myself
Taking Pictures Of Myself, Oh
Taking Pictures Of Myself, Self, Self
Taking Pictures Of Myself, Self, Self
Guess I'm Reaching Out To Be Assured
All I Wanted Was To Be Adored
Now You're Telling Me I'm Vain, Vain, Vain, Yeah
But You Don't Feel My Pain, Pain, Pain
Facing Life Upon The Shelf, Shelf, Shelf
Taking Pictures Of Myself, Myself, Myself
Hey What You Looking At
Hey What You Looking At
Hey What Are You Looking At
Hey Whay Are You Looking At
Hey What You Looking At
Hey What You Looking At
Hey What You Looking At
Hey What You Looking At
Taking Pictures Of Myself
Taking Pictures Of Myself
Taking Pictures Of Myself
Taking Pictures Of Myself, Oh
SONG FACTS
Writer(s): Nina Nesbitt, Thom Kirkpatrick
Producer(s): James Earp
This Bouncy Track Finds Nesbitt Singing Of Someone Being Dumped By A Boy Who Calls Her Vain. She Then Posts Happy Pictures Of Herself To Pretend He Hasn't Hurt Her. "I Wrote 'Selfies' With My Bassist When We Were Discussing How When People Feel A Bit Low About Themselves, They Often Take Pictures Of Them Looking Happy Or Out Doing Cool Things," Said Nina. "Then They Post Them Online To Either Cheer Themselves Up Or To Try And Make The Person That's Let Them Down Know What They're Missing. I'll Put My Hands Up And Say I've Done It Myself. Some People Would Call It Attention Seeking, Others Would Say There's No Harm In Trying To Feel Good About Yourself."
A Selfie Is A Type Of Self-Portrait Photograph, Normally Taken With A Digital Camera Or Camera Phone. 'Selfie' Was The Oxford Dictionary's 2013 Word Of The Year. The Annual Award Is Given To The Word, Or Expression, That They Considered Attracted The Most Interest During The Year. Other 21st Century Words Of The Year Have Included Podcast, Bovvered, Carbon-Neutral, Carbon Footprint, Credit Crunch, Simples, Unfriend And Refudiate.
The Music Clip Was Released Onto Youtube On December 15, 2013. Nina Told The Sun: "The Video Is About How Easily People Can Let Their Life Through A Fake Persona And Pretend That Their Life Is Better Than It Actually Is. A Lot Of My Early Success Was On Youtube And Vevo. I Did Have Some Negative Liberty On Social Media – Sadly, From People Who Knew Me. But It Taught Me To Develop A Tough Skin In Pursuit Of What I Love Doing," Nina Added. "You Have To Look At The Negative Comments And Compare Them To Have Many Positive People There Are Supporting You."
