In a similar fashion to Ashnikko’s previous two singles “Tantrum” and “Cry,” “Daisy” serves as another haunting pop banger in Ash’s discography in which she dismantles the patriarchy and defies female stereotypes. On the song, Ash reinterprets the image of the daisy, which has been used as a symbol...
[Verse 1]
You don't wanna see me bratty
Pet the kitty, call me catty
Make your man call me daddy
He talk too much, he's too chatty (Yeah, cool)
CEO, I'm savvy
Respect a bitch, I'm a maverick
Flexible, so elastic
But don't you dare bend a bitch backwards
[Pre-Chorus]
Fuck a princess, I'm a king
Bow down and kiss on my ring
Being a bitch is my kink
What the fuck else did you think?
Fuck a princess, I'm a king
Bow down and kiss on my ring
It's gonna hurt, it'll sting
Spitting up blood in the sink
[Chorus]
I'm crazy, but you like that, I bite back
Daisies on your nightstand, never forget
I blossom in the moonlight, screw eyes
Glacial with the blue ice, I'm terrifying
(I'm terrifying)
[Verse 2]
I'm no Cinderella, but I like the shoes
Big glass platforms, bitch, I'm choosy
Long blue hair, blue as a bruise
Only trust a fella for some light amusement
I'm no prey, but I am pursued
Pray for me, Nana, on the church's pews
No dickstraction can confuse me
Whiskey in my hip flask, nothing fruity
[Pre-Chorus]
Fuck a princess, I'm a king
Bow down and kiss on my ring
Being a bitch is my kink
What the fuck else did you think?
Fuck a princess, I'm a king
Bow down and kiss on my ring
It's gonna hurt, it'll sting
Spitting up blood in the sink
[Chorus]
I'm crazy, but you like that, I bite back
Daisies on your nightstand, never forget
I blossom in the moonlight, screw eyes
Glacial with the blue ice, I'm terrifying
I'm crazy, but you like that, I bite back
Daisies on your nightstand, never forget
I blossom in the moonlight, screw eyes
Glacial with the blue ice, I'm terrifying
[Outro]
La, la, la
La, la, la
La, la, la
La, la, la
I'm terrifying
La, la, la
La, la, la
La, la, la
La, la, la
I'm terrifying
Daisy was produced by Slinger.
Ashnikko has teased the release of a new song with an Instagram post on July 6.
In a comment she referenced a lyric from the “Daisy”:
A day prior to the release of “Daisy,” Ash confirmed the song title and release date on Instagram.
When [British producer] Thomas Slinger and I wrote this, we were like, “This is a fucking banger. This is a hit.” I rarely feel that way about my music. I like to have something visual to go along with the lyrics, like a character that I’m tapping into. Here I have Daisy, who is a vigilante and who...
Another live performance of “Daisy” debuted as an exclusive for VevoDSCVR on January 25, 2021.
On January 14, 2022, “Daisy” was certified platinum by the RIAA.
