On 19th March 2022 Mothica released a snippet of “Last Cigarette” on TikTok along with another song asking her fans to vote on which her next single should be released following her popular single “Sensitive”.
[Intro: MOTHICA]
Treat me like your last cigarette, ah
Put me down and pick me up again, ah
You can be the dagger that I put in my own back
Make tonight the night we both regret
[Verse 1: MOTHICA]
I'm the queen of self-sabotage
I already decided on
You remind me of myself
You’re dragging me through hell
I know I'm the blade you've been counting on
But you don’t wanna cut it off
If you're water and I'm fire
Why does the flame keep getting higher?
[Pre-Chorus: MOTHICA]
Back off before I destroy you
Oops, I didn't mean to
Only do it 'causе I have to
Use you, only to destroy mе
Gonna make you love me
It'll be the death of us, so what?
[Chorus: MOTHICA]
Treat me like your last cigarette, ah
Put me down and pick me up again, ah
You can be the dagger that I put in my own back
Make tonight the night we both regret
[Verse 2: Au/Ra]
Every time you leave
You leave with a piece of me
Gotta tripwire the door
Make you come back for m-m-more
'Cause I can't get rid of the marks
Got your claws in my mind and my heart
But here we are
Tattooing my scars
[Pre-Chorus: MOTHICA & Au/Ra]
Back off before I destroy you
Oops, I didn’t mean to
Only do it ’cause I have to
Use you, only to destroy me
Gonna make you love me
It'll be the death of us, so what?
[Outro]
(Back off, back off)
(Oops, I didn’t mean to)
(Back off, back off)
(Back off, back off)
(Oops, I didn't mean to)
(Back off, back off)
LAST CIGARETTE was written by Alexandra Veltri & Au/Ra & Jason Strong & MOTHICA.
LAST CIGARETTE was produced by Jason Strong.
MOTHICA released LAST CIGARETTE on Fri May 06 2022.
MOTHICA:
I wrote ‘Last Cigarette’ about someone I met who reminded me of myself in a toxic way. We shared a lot of pessimistic tendencies, and it reminded me of trying to quit cigarettes, something that we all know is bad for you, but there’s still this allure to be caught in a negative cycle.
