Black Friday Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I wanna go party, I wanna have fun
Wanna be happy, could you show me how it's done?
You look so pretty, pretty like the sun
I could watch forever while you shine on everyone
[Chorus]
It's Black Friday, we're in a black taxi
You take my hand and hold it gently on the middle seat
It's all in my head, it's all in my mind
I'm so selfish, you're so kind
It's all in my head, baby, I can't breathe
I look in the mirror, what is happening to me?
[Verse 2]
I want a better body, I want better skin
I wanna be perfect like all your other friends
You look so pretty, pretty like the wind
Every time you touch me, I feel adrenaline
[Chorus]
It's Black Friday, the end of the week
You take my hand and hold it gently up against your cheek
It's all in my head, it's all in my mind
I see the darkness where you see the light
It's all in my head, who do I trust?
I thought that you loved me, what is happening to us?
[Post-Chorus]
What is happening to us?
What is happening to us?
[Instrumental Outro]

What did Tom Odell say about "Black Friday"?
I wrote this on my birthday in 2022, 24 November, which is Black Friday most years, or sometime around that date. I chipped away at the words for a long time—it was a real labour of love and it was clear to me that the song was important. It felt like more than a song—occasionally you get [one of] t...
