The majority of the song was recorded on Tarek’s phone during a sound check at Le Botanique in Brussels. The quality and tone of the room couldn’t be duplicated when they tried recording the song again so they stuck to the phone recording.

[Verse 1]
My baby's been on the run
Americano and a loaded gun
She's a baddie with a brain and she loves the hunt, so
So I'm thinking that my time is done
And if I make it out alive, which I probably won't
I think I'll marry that girl and we'll hit the road
Know a little hideout on the coast we could go
Move fast, honey, don't get slow
[Chorus]
I think I died and woke up in L.A.
I don't know how I wound up in this place, no
I think I died and woke up in L.A.
She asked me, "How'd that taste?"
I said "Honey, A-OK"
[Verse 2]
It feels funny when I close my eyes
Feels like I could touch the sky
I never thought that I would get this high, but
The broken mirror says otherwise
I love her 'cause she's always in the mood
I love her 'cause she's aggressive too
She said, "How can you sleep doing what we do?"
Well, I guess I'm selfish when it comes to you

I think I died and woke up in L.A.
I don't know how I wound up in this place, no
I think I died and woke up in L.A.
She asked me, "How'd that taste?"
I said "Honey, A-OK"
[Chorus]
I think I died and woke up in L.A.
I don't know how I wound up in this place, no
I think I died and woke up in L.A.
She asked me, "How'd that taste?"
I said, "Baby, A-OK", yeah
