Off of HAIM’s 2020 album Women In Music Pt. III, “Gasoline” is a sexy track about a possibly-dysfunctional relationship.
Said Danielle Haim:
“That slowed-down ending is due to Ariel. He had this crazy EDM filter he stuck on the guitar, and I was like, ‘Yes, that’s fucking perfect.’”

[Verse 1]
You took me back
But you shouldn't have
Now it's your fault if I mess around
I took a drag
But I shouldn't have
Now I'm coughing up like I
Never smoked a pack
[Chorus]

I want to get off
But you're such a tease
Throw the keys back to me
Go on and kick off your boots
In the passenger seat
[Verse 2]
I get sad, you know I get sad
And I can't look past what I'm sad about

I want to get off
But you're such a tease
Throw the keys back to me
Go on and kick off your boots
In the passenger seat
[Bridge]
We're watching the sunrise from the kitchen counter
When you lie in between my legs, it doesn't matter
You say you wanna go slower but I wanna go faster
Faster and faster
[Outro]
Gasoline, pretty please
I want to get off
But you're such a tease

I love the way that the drums sound. I feel like we rea...
I think there were parts of that song where we were feeling sexy. I remember I had gone to go get food, and when I came back Danielle had written the bridge. She was like, ‘Look what I wrote!’ And I was like, ‘Oh! Okay!’
