Gus DappertonAbout
In an interview with i-D, Dapperton was asked what “I’m Just Snacking” is about, to which he responded:
The song describes two lost souls. They both share a complementary mindset when it comes to opulence, popularity, materialism, and love. Meaning that they don’t care much for wealth and image. Th...
I’m Just Snacking Lyrics
[Verse 1]
He don't ask for
Oh, coin and cash for
Poise and panache for
Some broken bachelor, no
She don’t want none
Oh, gold and gilded
So all them children
View her with brilliant foes
[Bridge]
Pardon for part in my sight
They see with a similar eye
[Chorus]
Honey, I'm whole so what are we snacking for?
“I’m just a whore, boy, it’s only natural”
Well, I bet we’d look pretty outside
[Verse 2]
He won't build in
Thrones of vermillion
Whose woes is filled with
Pseudo civilians, no
She won't take up
Colorful patrons
Whose motif plays on
False admiration, no
[Bridge]
Pardon for part in my sight
They see with a similar eye
[Chorus]
Honey, I'm whole so what are we snacking for?
“I’m just a whore, boy, it’s only natural”
Honey, I'm whole so what are we snacking for?
“I’m just a whore, boy, it’s only natural”
Well, I bet we’d look pretty outside
Well, I bet we’d look pretty outside
[Outro]
Well, I bet we'd look pretty outside

What was the inspiration behind this song?
When I write songs, I usually like to take interesting phrases that people around me say. In this case, me and my ex girlfriend were going to dinner one night, and I was like, “We’re about to go to dinner. Why are you eating?” She said, “I’m just snacking.” And I said, “Oh. True.” So that’s how the...
How did the track actually come together?
I took the phrase and wrote it in my notebook and then had the idea from there. And then, I sat down on the piano one day and just started playing around on the piano. I’m not sure I can recall exactly the day that I wrote the song, because it takes me quite a long time to write songs. Like, I spend...
What was Gus' approach to producing this song?
Last summer, I started producing this song in my apartment, and I don’t know, something about it was a little more happy. Then I moved to Philly and kind of re-recorded the whole song. The second time around, I had a better way of going about it and a better mindset, because I think changes in my en...
What was Gus hoping to convey with this song?
The feeling I was trying to convey with this song was that I don’t think people should make excuses when it comes to love. Even if that involves being hurt or a tragic, I don’t know, falling out.
