“Private” is the first track released from Vera Blue’s debut album, Perennial. Sonically, the track is described as being “quite aggressive and a bit angry, so I think the more electronic vibe was very suitable for what the song is about”.
[Intro]
I just wanna
I just, I just wanna
[Verse 1]
It keeps me up at night thinking 'bout what you're thinking 'bout
Subjects in my mind, running wild, images of a parallel life
[Pre-Chorus]
You don't even have a clue
Of all the things I'm doing to you
[Chorus]
What's wrong in reality feels so right in my fantasy
What's wrong in reality feels so right in my fantasy
I just wanna make you feel good
I just wanna make you feel good
I just wanna make you feel good
I just wanna make you feel good
[Verse 2]
It keeps me on my toes that you don't know, don't know
And it sweeps me off my feet when I sleep, when I wake I remember we can never be
[Pre-Chorus]
You don't even have a clue
Of all the things I'm doing to you
[Chorus]
What's wrong in reality feels so right in my fantasy
What's wrong in reality feels so right in my fantasy
I just wanna make you feel good
I just wanna make you feel good
I just wanna make you feel good
I just wanna make you feel good
[Outro]
I just wanna
I just wanna
Private was written by Thom Macken & Andy Mak & Vera Blue.
Private was produced by Andy Mak & Thom Macken.
She has explained the track as being about “that fantasy of wanting someone you can’t have… I find that’s something everyone can relate to. There’s that frustration from not being able to have something whether you fall for a friend or a celebrity…”.
