Baio wrote “Sister of Pearl,” according to an interview with Q Magazine, as a “feel-good, throwback pop song.” It was inspired by Roxy Music’s song Mother Of Pearl. Baio went on to say “I’ve always been a sucker for songs with wordless hooks, so this is my attempt at that!”

[Verse 1]
Think I might forget it, gonna write it down-down-down
If you just regret it, don't bring your ass around-round-round
It is what it is until it was what it was
So just keep on swingin', if only because-cause-cause
[Pre-Chorus]
I can tell by the look, you don't mean what you say
Like a sentimental crook, it's tough to get away
If it even would matter, I would play every part
But I'm too overeager and I just false start
[Chorus]
Oh, sister of pearl, I wouldn't change you for the world
Oh, sister of pearl, I wouldn't change you for the world
Ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh
[Verse 2]
Think I might forget it, gonna write it down-down-down

[Chorus]
Oh sister of pearl, I wouldn't change you for the world
Oh sister of pearl, I wouldn't change you for the world
Ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh
[Outro]
Ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh
