Ricky ReedAbout
“Song About You” is a break-up song from a different perspective. Instead of pining on his lost lover, Posner refuses to think about her. But that’s easier said than done. He doesn’t want to write a song about her and ends up – well, here is that very song. It can mostly be summed up in the lines:

Song About You Lyrics
[Chorus]
Put all your stuff in a box in my room
I don't wanna write no song about you
But you show up in everything that I do
Ooh, ooh-ooh
[Verse 1]
Since you've been gone, ain't got nothin' to do
I sleep until noon, I wake up and feel bad
I think I miss somethin' I never had
Ooh, ooh-ooh
[Refrain]
I just wanna unwind, unwind
Everything that makes me feel confined
Sometimes I hate sunshine
Sometimes I hate sunshine
[Chorus]
Put all your stuff in a box in my room
I don't wanna write no song about you
But you show up in everything that I do
Ooh, ooh-ooh
[Verse 2]
Now it's a cold war, who will call first?
Try to be productive at work, I just can't
I miss you a lot, but I ain't comin' back
Ooh, ooh-ooh (Hey, hey, hey, hey)
[Refrain]
I just wanna unwind, unwind
Everything that makes me feel confined
Sometimes I hate sunshine
Sometimes I hate sunshine
[Chorus]
Put all your stuff in a box in my room (Room)
I don't wanna write no song about you (You)
But you show up in everything that I do (Do)
Ooh, ooh-ooh (Ayy, ayy)
[Bridge]
Yeah, yeah
All your love letters and a pair of Ray-Bans
I'm growin' my beard, movin' back in my van
And your side of the bed still smells like you though
And these memories of us, it's brutal
You know, you know exactly how I feel
We broke up, but you be on my mind still
And the worst type of sadness you could have
Is when you miss somethin' that doesn't miss you back
[Chorus]
Put all your stuff in a box in my room (Room)
I don't wanna write no song about you (You)
But you show up in everything that I do (Do)
Ooh, ooh-ooh

What did Mike Posner say about "Song About You"?
This song was really fun ‘cause I was trying not to be smart. You know, usually my songs got a lot of words, you know, there’s some element of, like, flashy poetry to them, and this one is just fun, like, not rhyming and just saying exactly how I felt, man. But honestly, you know, it just came out o...
What inspired the song?
The initial inspiration for “Song About You” came from just going through a breakup and I was supposed to be finishing my album at the same time, so it’s like I’m just showing up to the studio and trying to write songs and do beats and finish these songs I had written several months before, ‘cause w...
How did the song come about?
Dan Wilson was in the studio. We had written another song, and he was just on his way out and he picked up one of Ricky’s guitars and he started playing. And Ricky literally took his iPhone and recorded Dan playing that with his iPhone. And then Dan left, ‘cause we had already written another song t...
What was the songwriting process like?
Ricky and I would write the verses and the hook in the control room, and then he often would just let me go loose in the booth, so we had the melody and then I would do a bunch of stuff, I’d just be basically freestyling. And this is when we did the, “I just wanna unwind, unwind,” everything. It’s j...
