“Relevant” was the result of Astrid’s request to fans to send her lyrics for a song. After receiving over 5000 lyric submissions, she rented a studio for a day. The creative process was recorded.
[Verse 1]
I didn't mean to get personal
But feeling left out is the worst, you know
Told me that you'd be here today
But you're gone and I'm waiting
I didn't mean to confuse your mind
Still wonder why you left my heart behind
You know it always takes two
Don't you get it, I get it
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Pull my strings and pull me closer
Break my heart and run me over
So don't tell me to come over
You only get my hopes up
[Chorus]
I'm only relevant when there's no one else
Know I'm better off being by myself
But I just don't want nobody else
So I'll wait here 'til I'm relevant again
[Post-Chorus]
Ooh
Ooh
Ooh
Ooh
[Verse 2]
I can't see your face anymore
You're just a faded picture on the wall
And I just don't know what to do
Know I'm being dramatic
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Every step that we're taking
The mistakes that we're making
Feel my heart is breaking
I do it 'cause I want to
[Chorus]
I'm only relevant when there's no one else
Know I'm better off being by myself
But I just don't want nobody else
So I'll wait here 'til I'm relevant
See, I'm just too scared to let you go
So before I do I need to know
Do you want me or somebody else?
I can wait around 'til I'm relevant again
[Bridge]
Will this fire keep us warm or burn us down?
'Cause I don't think that gravity can hold me down
Will this fire keep us warm or burn us down?
Think I'm burning down
[Chorus]
I'm only relevant when there's no one else
Know I'm better off being by myself
But I just don't want nobody else
So I'll wait here 'til I'm relevant again
[Post-Chorus]
Ooh
Ooh
Ooh (relevant)
Ooh (again)
