“FinallyApologizing” is the seventh and final track on ADÉLA’s debut EP, The Provocateur, and while its title may say something else, ADÉLA does not seem to be apologizing for anything at all.

[Verse 1]
Everybody always has a lot to say (Ah-ah-ah)
I hear new things about me every other day
If you wanna say something, I guess that's okay (Ah-ah-ah)
But you should know that I don't take it seriously
I won't do anything I don't want to do
And maybe that's why I don't work too well in groups
So tell me, tell me, tell me, baby, how do you?
How do you expect me to just submit to you?
[Chorus]
You won't get what you want from me, oh, yeah
You won't get what you want from me, oh, yeah
[Verse 2]
Sorry that my friends are all still friends with me (Ah-ah-ah)
And that I'm not as bad as you want me to be
You only get to know me parasocially (Ah-ah-ah)
There's parts of me I need to show you personally
[Bridge]
Hard to please
You're so damn hard to please
I could change who I am, I could fake my way in
I could do it again and again and again
[Chorus]
You won't get what you want from me, oh, yeah
You won't get what you want from me, oh, yeah (Hey)
You won't get what you want from me, oh, yeah (Ooh-ooh)
You won't get what you want from me, oh, yeah
[Outro]
I'm just a girl, what do you want from me?
I shouldn't need to make apologies
I'm just a girl, it's really hard to be
You won't get what you want from me
You won't get what you want, uh

People always yell ‘apologize,’ I don’t have anything to say sorry for.
