Most of the time, women are weepy after the breakup, but sometimes they are victorious, and here we have the latter…
“Beautiful Mistakes” is a collaboration between Maroon 5 and Houston rap sensation and recent Grammy winner Megan Thee Stallion. Adam Levine’s delivery is lovely and lyrical, and hers is tough and in-your-face.
He wants her back…
It’s pitiful, I can’t believe
How every day gets worse for me
I’m in love with the past
I fill my nights with the way you walk
However, she doesn’t want him…
The only way I’m coming’ back to you is if you’re dreaming, lucid
But really, I was doin’ just fine without ya
You’re runnin’ outta chances and this time I mean it (Ah)
*And if we break up, I don’t wanna be friends
In 1966, Nancy Sinatra’s “These Boots Were Made for Walking” was a sensation– the right song for the moment. Her strength and resolve were unmistakable (Women’s Lib!) yet it was undermined by her sexy and sassy performance…just like Megan Thee Stallion’s message of independance is delivered with sexy wrapping.
“Beautiful Mistakes” is charting #14 on Adult Top 40 and #18 on Top 40.
