Hayley KiyokoAbout
“Curious” is a “a smug little revenge tale” based off of true experiences. In an interview with Billboard, Hayley says:
I date a lot of women who are into it, but they’re uncomfortable with society’s pressures. They’re uncomfortable with liking girls even though they do.
The song talks of LGBTQ+...
Curious Lyrics
[Intro]
(Yeah, yeah, yeah)
Yeah
[Verse 1]
I need a drink, whiskey ain't my thing, but shit is all good
I can handle things like I wish that you would
You've been out of reach, could you explain? I think that you should
What you been up to? Who's been loving you good?
[Pre-Chorus]
I'm just on the floor, I'm like a model
Been looking through the texts and all the photos
But don't you worry, I can handle it
No, don't you worry, I can handle it
[Chorus]
If you let him touch ya, touch ya, touch ya, touch ya, touch ya, touch ya (Yeah)
The way I used to, used to, used to, used to, used to, used to (Yeah)
Did you take him to the pier in Santa Monica?
Forget to bring a jacket, wrap up in him 'cause you wanted to?
[Post-Chorus]
I'm just curious (Yeah), is it serious?
I'm just curious (Yeah), is it serious?
[Verse 2]
Calling me up, so late at night, are we just friends?
You say you wanted me, but you're sleeping with him
You think of me, I'm what you see when you look at the sky
I don't believe you, you ain't been loving me right (Yeah)
[Pre-Chorus]
I'm just on the floor, I'm like a model
Been looking through the texts and all the photos (Oh-oh, oh-oh)
But don't you worry, I can handle it
No, don't you worry, I can handle it
[Chorus]
If you let him touch ya, touch ya, touch ya, touch ya, touch ya, touch ya (Yeah)
The way I used to, used to, used to, used to, used to, used to (Yeah)
Did you take him to the pier in Santa Monica?
Forget to bring a jacket, wrap up in him 'cause you wanted to?
I'm just curious (Yeah), is it serious?
If you let him touch ya, touch ya, touch ya, touch ya, touch ya, touch ya (Yeah)
The way I used to, used to, used to, used to, used to, used to (Yeah)
Did you take him to the pier in Santa Monica?
Forget to bring a jacket, wrap up in him 'cause you wanted to?
I'm just curious (Yeah), is it serious?
[Bridge]
I'm just on the floor, I'm like a model (Oh-oh, oh-oh)
Been looking through the texts and all the photos
But don't you worry, I can handle it
No, don't you worry, I can handle it
[Pre-Chorus]
If you let him-, if you let him-
[Chorus]
If you let him touch ya, touch ya, touch ya, touch ya, touch ya, touch ya (Yeah)
The way I used to, used to, used to, used to, used to, used to (Yeah)
Did you take him to the pier in Santa Monica?
Forget to bring a jacket, wrap up in him 'cause you wanted to?
[Outro]
I'm just curious (Yeah), is it serious?
I'm just curious (Yeah), is it serious?

What inspired this song?
I have hung out with a lot of girls that like to play games. There was a girl in particular that I was involved with that really liked to push my buttons. And there were a lot instances in the lyrics like, “You think of me, I’m what you see when you look at the sky.” Or like being with her boyfriend...
What was happening the day Hayley wrote this song?
I was going through this experience. This girl, I really cared about her, and she kept playing with my emotions and feelings. You want to like them, and you want them to like you, but it is also a weird situation where she didn’t love herself enough to be with me. And you can’t teach someone that, a...
How did Hayley link up with her cowriters?
They are amazing people. Brandon actually co-wrote a bunch of songs on my album, and it was such a fun process. This track in particular is just such a fun, flirty song for me. It just has that quirkiness to it, and the yeahs especially. I was like, “You guys, I don’t know if I feel comfortable sing...
Is this track connected with any other songs on the record?
Yes! Hayley told GQ in March 2018:
[‘What I Need’] was kind of in the same time during the ‘Curious’ situation. [It’s the] same girl! I was really frustrated, because it was like, ‘You need to know what you’re doing, please stop involving me in these games. You need to love yourself and know who yo...
