“Famous” is the follow up to the duo’s 2016 track “Mean What I Mean.” Aluna revealed in an I-D interview that “Famous” talks about her experience with the #Metoo movement.
[Chorus]
I can make you famous, famous
I'll show them where your grave is, grave is
And say, "Ooh, la-la, ooh, la-la"
I can make you famous, famous (I can make you fa-)
[Verse 1]
Listen while the whistle blow
Wildfire to go
We’ve been dishing at your wishes
With a little slap and tickle
We never hear the trickle as it builds up
It would make you come back down
It would make you slide back down
I'll be laughing as you tumble to the ground
I'll be laughing as you’re breaking down
[Chorus]
I can make you famous, famous
I'll show them where your grave is, grave is
And say, "Ooh, la-la, ooh, la-la"
I can make you famous, famous
(I can make you famous, famous, famous, famous)
(I can make you famous)
(I can make you famous)
[Verse 2]
Now they know what you know
There's nowhere for you to go
We've been dishing at your wishes
With a little slap and tickle
'Cause they're gonna hear the trickle as it builds up
[Chorus 2]
I can make you famous, famous
I'll show them what your game is, game is
And say, "Ooh, la-la, ooh, la-la"
I can make you famous, famous
(I can make you famous, famous, famous, famous)
(I can make you famous)
(I can make you famous)
[Outro]
I can make you famous, famous
I'll show them where your grave is, grave is
And say, "Ooh, la-la", say, "Ooh, la-la"
Yeah, I can make you
