[Verse 1]
Bunny is a rider
Satellite can't find her
No sympathy, hmm
Ain't nothing for free
Bunny is a rider
Satellite can't find her
No sympathy, hmm
Ain't nothing for free
Bunny is a rider
No sympathy, hmm
Ain't nothing
Bunny is a, bunny is a, a rider
Satellite can't find her
No sympathy, hmm
[Chorus]
But I'm so non-physical
I do, I do, feel like the lady
I do, I do, fireworks blazing
I do, I do, heart is unbreaking
I do, I do, but don't drop my name
[Verse 2]
Bunny is a rider (Bunny is a r–)
Satellite can't find her
No sympathy, mhm
Ain't nothing for free
Bunny is a rider
Giddy up, can't find her
No sympathy, hmm
Ain't nothing for free
Dirty like it's Earth Day
Tryna whet that palette
Can you cut that check?
Crush that wreck?
Run out empty on 'em?
AWOL on a Thursday
Tryna go ask Alice
Tryna catch that rabbit
[Chorus]
But I'm so non-physical
I do, I do, feel like the lady
I do, I do, fireworks blazing
I do, I do, heart is unbreaking
I do, I do, but don't drop my name
[Bridge]
Bunny is a, bunny is a, a rider
Can't find her, еh
(Ain't nothing)
Bunny is a, bunny is a, a rider
Can't find her, eh
[Chorus]
Yеah, I'm so non-physical
I do, I do, feel like the lady
I do, I do, fireworks blazing
I do, I do, heart is unbreaking
I do, I do, but don't drop my name
[Outro]
Bunny is a, bunny is a, a rider
Can't find her, eh
(Ain't nothing)
Bunny is a, bunny is a, a rider
Can't find her, eh
(Ain't nothing)
Bunny is a, bunny is a, a rider
Can't find her, eh
(Ain't nothing)
Bunny is a, bunny is a
Bunny is a rider
Bunny Is a Rider was written by Caroline Polachek.
Bunny Is a Rider was produced by Caroline Polachek & Danny L Harle.
Caroline Polachek released Bunny Is a Rider on Wed Jul 14 2021.
In a statement serviced to Pitchfork, Polachek said of the song:
“Bunny Is a Rider” is a summer jam about being unavailable […] Bunny is slippery, impossible to get ahold of. Maybe it’s a fantasy, maybe it’s a bad attitude. But anyone can be bunny, at least for three minutes and seventeen seconds....
In a July 2021 profile in CRACK Magazine, Polachek said:
This track began right before the pandemic. It was part of a 48-hour manic spree of writing that I did with Danny L Harle back in January 2020. I was in between shows and it was written right before a show at the El Rey in LA. Dan has a secre...
It’s very different than anything I ever made before. It’s like really dry and really beat-driven and really kind of talkative and I sing in this low, percussive way in the verses, none of which make any sense. But it’s kind of like this genre of psychedelic sexy nonsense that we’re definitely gonna...
[I like] being loyal to the tone of the song without telling a literal story. I feel like culture in general is suffering from a need for everything to be literal. It’s almost like we’ve forgotten that’s never why we were interested in art in the first place. I’m a deep believer in what lies behind...
His phone was full of recordings of her, and he dropped some into the track to play with it. I loved how it felt like a nod to the iconic baby sample in the Timbland production of “Are You That Somebody” by Aaliyah.
—Caroline via Spotify Storyline
A spicy little summer song about being unavailable, which includes my favourite bassline of the album—this quite minimal funk bassline. Structurally on this one, I really wanted it to flow without people having a sense of the traditional dynamics between verses and choruses. Timbaland was a massive...
The cover for “Bunny Is a Rider” was shot with my dear friend Aidan Zamiri in London. We actually didn’t shoot it for the song, we just shot it as kind of a fun image that could circulate, and as soon as you know I decided to release the song a single I was like, “This has to be it, it has to be the...
