[Verse 1: Jack Met]
When did all my friends become so loud?
We act like reality shows
Probably 'cause reality blows
When did all my friends become so loud?
We traded our boring lives
For MTV story lines, why?
[Pre-Chorus: Jack Met]
Recently he said that she said that we said some shit that you wouldn't believe
Recently he said that she said that we said that he said some shit about me
[Chorus: Jack Met, All]
So we're caught up in drama
Everybody's talking, everybody's talking
We're caught up in problems
Everybody's talking, everybody's talking, ooh, ahh
Hold up, hold up, can we make it stop?
Hold up, hold up, but I'm so caught up in drama
Everybody's talking, everybody's talking now
[Verse 2: Jack Met]
When did all our problems get so small?
We break up with lovers and friends
Make love to the rumors instead
Maybe we're addicted to it all
The drama is dangerous
But it's so exciting to us
[Pre-Chorus: Jack Met]
Recently he said that she said that we said some shit that you wouldn't believe
Recently he said that she said that we said that he said some shit about me
[Chorus: Jack Met, All]
So we're caught up in drama
Everybody's talking, everybody's talking
We're caught up in problems
Everybody's talking, everybody's talking, ooh, ahh
Hold up, hold up, can we make it stop?
Hold up, hold up, but I'm so caught up in drama
Everybody's talking, everybody's talking now
[Bridge: Jack Met]
(Ah, ah-ah, ah, ah-ah, ah-ah)
When did my friends get so loud?
(Ah, ah-ah, ah, ah-ah, ah-ah)
When did my friends get so loud?
(Ah, ah-ah, ah, ah-ah, ah-ah)
When did my friends get so loud?
(Ah, ah-ah, ah, ah-ah, ah-ah)
Oh, when did my friends get loud?
[Pre-Chorus: Jack Met]
Recently he said that she said that we said some shit that you wouldn't believe
Recently he said that she said that we said that he said some shit about me
[Chorus: Jack Met, All]
So we're caught up in drama
Everybody's talking, everybody's talking
We're caught up in problems
Everybody's talking, everybody's talking, ooh, aah (Everybody's talking)
Hold up, hold up, can we make it stop?
Hold up, hold up, but I'm so caught up in drama
Everybody's talking, everybody's talking now
Drama was produced by Ryan Met.
We wanted to write about the world’s stupidest, smallest problems that we make such big deals over. There are real problems in the world that require our attention, yet all we can seem to focus on is the Katy Perry/Taylor Swift feud. And, we’re responsible for that, too. We pay attention to it, too....
This song came together in the middle of writing our sophomore album, The Click. We wanted to dive deeper into the concept of addiction, like in the song Weak, but take a completely different approach. Instead of focusing on something physically harmful, we wanted to comment on a different form of a...
With DRAMA, we wanted to write a song about the world’s most unimportant problems. There are extremely important issues in the world today that require our attention. And yet, all we can focus on are things like the Katy Perry/Taylor Swift feud. We are guilty of this too. It almost seems as if we’re...
The process of writing a producing Drama was a relatively simple one. The concept for the song is something we feel like every person in their twenties experiences daily, so we wanted the lyrics and production to both reflect the constant feeling of addiction juxtaposed with a big chorus, representa...
