The debut single, “Ballad of Maxine,” perfectly introduces Jane Holiday’s fondness for disco and dance. Holiday has described the track as:
a trivial piece of music used to celebrate love, youth, and the acceptance of those you love.
The song commands movement from listeners with bubbly synth-pop...
[Verse 1]
Maxine, black jeans
Chopped your hair real cool
New York, painting
Just dropped out of school
Sweet talk, big dreams
She’s trying to break the rules
But no one ever breaks her heart, yeah
[Pre-Chorus]
Just try your best
But she won’t ever pay attention
To your advance
Well you fucked it up
And said too many things
Well come on, well come on
Well I know, I know, I know, I know
I know, I know, I know, I know, I know
[Chorus]
All of the girls
All the girls in the world
Taking their pills and their drugs, make em’ twirl
They wanna dance, wanna laugh, want it all
They just wanna party
They just wanna party, party
[Verse 2]
Make up, night club
You paint your lips all red
You go home, you get (ahh ahh)
But your fucked in the head
Wake up, t-shirt
Then do it all again
You do it all again
Well come on
[Chorus]
All of the girls
All the girls in the world
Taking their pills and their drugs, make em’ twirl
They wanna dance, wanna laugh, want it all
They just wanna party
They just wanna party, party
Party
[Pre-Chorus]
Well just try your best
But she won’t ever pay attention
To your advance
'Cause you, you really fucked it up
And said too many things
Well I know, I know, I know, I know
I know, I know, I know, I know, I know
Girls are girls, are girls, are girls, are girls
[Chorus]
All of the girls
All the girls in the world
Taking their pills and their drugs, make em’ twirl
They wanna dance, wanna laugh, want it all
They just wanna party
They just wanna party, party
[Outro]
Party
Party
Party
Party
