“Shh… Don’t Say It,” which warns a potential new paramour you’re still broken, and the best they’ll get from you is a short-term rebound. That’s Fletcher’s favorite song on the album, which she loves because it reminds her of the Jersey house music she listened to growing up, but also because of its...
[Verse 1]
You dream of me dressed in white
I dream of you dressed up in nothin'
I like you, you're my type
Let's make out, but I'll make it clear, not lookin' for something
[Pre-Chorus]
I could tell what you're thinking 'bout
Lookin' at me like, "Oh wow"
It's like you're drawin' hearts around my name
Yeah, I'm kinda mysterious
This don't need to be serious
I just wanna touch you
So don't tell me how you're feelin', baby
[Chorus]
Shh, don't say it
Watch me put my finger to your—
Shh, don't say it
Not tonight, not tonight
Just save it
Shut your mouth, you like it when I—
Shh, don't say it
Don't say it, don't say it
[Verse 2]
Friday night, it's a vibe
One more drink and I'm coming over
I like your lips when we kiss
Don't ruin it with too many words, you're makin' me sober
[Pre-Chorus]
I could tell what you're thinking 'bout
Lookin' at me like, "Oh wow"
It's like you're drawin' hearts around my name
Yeah, I'm kinda mysterious
This don't need to be serious
I just wanna touch you
So don't tell me how you're feelin'
[Chorus]
Shh, don't say it
Watch me put my finger to your—
Shh, don't say it
Not tonight, not tonight
Just save it
Shut your mouth, you like it when I—
Shh, don't say it
Don't say it, don't say it
[Post-Chorus]
Say it, don't, don't, don't, don't
Don't, don't, don't, don't
Don't say it, don't say it, don't say it
[Bridge]
Don't tell me you love me
Tell me you need me
Tell me you bought me flowers
Baby, I don't have the time
Don't tell me you miss me
Tell me you wish that it could be "us" and "ours"
I don't wanna call you mine
(Don't, don't, don't, don't)
(Don't say it)
(Don't, don't, don't, don't)
[Chorus]
Shh, don't say it
Watch me put my finger to your—
Shh, don't say it
Not tonight, not tonight
Just save it (Don't, don't, don't, don't)
Shut your mouth, you like it when I—
Shh, don't say it (Don't, don't, don't, don't)
Don't say it, don't say it

Britney Spears' Blackout was a huge inspiration for this one, as was Timbaland and Tame Impala—that super lush guitar sound underneath each verse.
