“Green Honda” is an experimental, alternative dance song about BENEE’s first car, a Honda Integra. In the blunt track, BENEE goes through her hot girl summer phase, a true middle finger to her ex. The harsh lyricism displays her anger towards this ex, especially when she describes him as a waste of...
[Verse 1]
That was a waste of fucking time
You were a waste of fucking time
Since I left you I've been great
You were my biggest mistake
[Pre-Chorus]
So save your last breath, hold it in
I'd rather not have to listen
It's safe to say I am surprised
You've made a huge mess of my life
[Chorus]
And now I pull up in my green Honda
To tell you that I don't want ya
I'm having all these guys over
A baddie now, a showstopper
And now I pull up in my green Honda
To tell you that I don't want ya
I'm having all these guys over
A baddie now, a showstopper
[Verse 2]
All your friends are fucking fake (They're fake)
They're all too boring and too straight (Too straight, too straight)
I cringe at everything they say
And you're just like them, boy, don't play
[Pre-Chorus]
You've really broken everything
You've pinned me down, no self-defence
My heart was really on the line
You hung it up outside to dry
[Chorus]
And now I pull up in my green Honda
To tell you that I don't want ya
I'm having all these guys over
A baddie now, a showstopper
And now I pull up in my green Honda (Pull up in my)
To tell you that I don't want ya
I'm having all these guys over
A baddie now, a showstopper
[Bridge]
Pull up, pull up, pull up (Honda)
Pull up, Honda, pull up (Honda)
Pull up, pull up, pull up (Honda)
Pull up, pull up, pull up (Honda)
(Pull up)
[Breakdown]
I pull up in my green Honda
To tell you that I don't want ya (Pull up)
I'm having all these guys over
A baddie now, a showstopper
Stopper, stopper, stopper, yeah
[Chorus]
And now I pull up in my green Honda
To tell you that I don't want ya
I'm having all these guys over
A baddie now, a showstopper
And now I pull up in my green Honda (Green Honda)
To tell you that I don't want ya
I'm having all these guys over
A baddie now, a showstopper

It’s about my Honda Integra, that’s what inspired the song. I worked with two producers in LA. It was all women in the studio which was really cool, I’ve never had that before. The session literally started with, “I pull up in my green Honda to tell ya that I don’t want ya.” […] I heard that and I w...
[It’s] a song about knowing where you’re at, and what you need to say, and not being afraid. [It] was my first car, passed on to me by my grandmother when she gave up driving. He’s on the cover of my Stella & Steve EP. We’ve had lots of adventures together.
