Six years after the release of Partie Traumatic, Black Kids released a standalone single – Origami – in August 2014. The song was remastered as IFFY for the band’s 2017 album, Rookie.
Your mama don't know nothing 'bout this
Magic and technology in a kiss
Feels like we share some secret
Like we share this cigarette
I feel it coming over me
I feel you taking over me
You took my body
You took my body
[Chorus] x2
Well, baby, you don't want my love
It's too IFFY
Tell me what you're thinking of
When you're with me
I-F-F-Y, it's too iffy
I-F-F-Y, are you with me
Love causes so much pain
And I've got so much love to give
Love causes so much pain
And I've got so much love to give
I feel it coming over me
I feel you taking over me
You took my body
You took my body
[Chorus] x3
Well, baby, you don't want my love
It's too iffy
Tell me what you're thinking of
When you're with me
I-F-F-Y, it's too iffy
I-F-F-Y, are you with me
Baby, you don't want my love
Tell me what you're thinking of
I-F-F-Y
I-F-F-Y
IFFY was written by Ali Youngblood & Dawn Watley & Owen Holmes & Reggie Youngblood.
IFFY was produced by Black Kids & Andy LeMaster.
Black Kids released IFFY on Thu Aug 03 2017.
“IFFY” is representative of what might be considered the closest thing we have to a ‘signature sound’ — wonky, bizarro top 40 from some derpy alternate universe.
