With a poppy, bright beat contrasting poignant lyrics, “Open My Mouth” highlights Kiiara’s vocals while keeping her signature choppy choruses. The music video (which includes pieces of designer Christian Cowan’s F19 collection) shows Kiiara starring in a runway show, which she then destroys in front...
[Verse 1]
Can't look you in the eye, I tried a million times
Don't care enough to fight, don't wanna tell you I'm leavin'
Now I don't have the heart, I don't know where to start
It's gettin' pretty dark and I don't wanna believe it
But it feels like...
[Pre-Chorus]
Each time I say something, I only start something
Better if I say nothing, nothing at all
[Chorus]
When I open my mouth, I open my mouth
I open my, open my, open my mouth
I let you down, down, down, let you down, down
I let you down, let you down, let you down
When I open my mouth, I open my mouth
I open my, open my, open my mouth
I let you down, down, down, let you down, down
I let you down, let you down, let you down
[Verse 2]
I know it's gonna hurt, so I leave out the words
I only make it worse, doesn't make it any better
I know it's all my fault that we never evolve
Been dodgin' all your calls and I'm dying to surrender
But it feels like...
[Pre-Chorus]
Each time I say something, I only start something
Better if I say nothing, nothing at all (Ooh)
[Chorus]
When I open my mouth, I open my mouth
I open my, open my, open my mouth
I let you down, down, down, let you down, down
I let you down, let you down, let you down
When I open my mouth, I open my mouth
I open my, open my, open my mouth
I let you down, down, down, let you down, down
I let you down, let you down, let you down
[Bridge]
Each time I say something, I only start something
Better if I say nothing, nothing at all
I try to be honest, but all I do is lie
Don't wanna hurt you, I know I only hurt you
[Chorus]
When I open my mouth, I open my mouth
I open my, open my, open my mouth
I let you down, down, down, let you down, down
I let you down, let you down, let you down
When I open my mouth, I open my mouth
I open my, open my, open my mouth
I let you down, down, down, let you down, down
I let you down, let you down, let you down
[Outro]
When I, mmm

Art is open for interpretation, so while some will listen to this song and relate to it based on relationships they’ve had in their lives, for me this song is about the relationship I have with myself. It feels empowering to open up and finally speak my truth, and I hope in doing so I can encourage...
It’s kind of me letting everyone in on who I really am. Like when I open my mouth I like fuck shit up. You know? I’ll make stuff really awkward and don’t mean to. So, it’s just a way for the video portrays who I really am or like, this is what I’m feeling. So, when I’m destroying the runway, ripping...
