“Permission” is a minimal and emotionally raw ballad that appears on Banoffee’s debut album Look At Us Now Dad. Prior to its release, Banoffee had played it live on multiple occasions with only her vocals and an electric guitar. In an interview with NPR, she said the following regarding the song:
“...
[Verse 1]
Hold that thought
It's yours to keep
I never asked you
What you think
[Pre-Chorus]
I never asked how you felt
Told you to love me and no one else
[Chorus]
Never asked for permission, permission
Permission, oh, permission
Never asked for permission, permission
Permission, I never asked you for
[Verse 2]
Hold that thought, it's yours to keep
I never bother with
What you think
I'll pull those words
Right from your mouth
Like string wound teeth
Trying to yank them out
[Pre-Chorus]
I'll never ask how it felt
You're gonna love me and no one else
[Chorus]
Don't need your permission, permission
Permission, oh, permission
Don't need your permission, permission
Permission, I never asked you for
[Bridge]
I was young and never wanted
To touch a man or be a woman
You kissed me and I cried out loud
No, no, I didn’t want you in my body
You never asked me to invite you in
You never asked for anything
You never asked, you never asked
You never asked for
[Chorus]
Permission, permission
Permission, oh, permission
You never asked for permission, permission
Permission
You never asked me for me
