“z” is actually GAYLE’s favorite letter, so it’s only fitting that it eventually becomes a song.
However, it’s a fit thematically, too.
She’s part of the so-called Generation Z and she touches upon many different aspects of what she and her contemporary teenagers go through. That ranges from taking...
z Lyrics
[Intro]
Can you turn up the guitar more?
[Verse 1]
My best friend fucked my ex-boyfriend
Now his best friend hits me up
When I post things for attention
We all need an intervention
We all snap in the same group chat
But behind my back, I know
They're talkin' shit and lovin' it
But that's the way we do it, we
[Chorus]
Glorify our problems
But we never solve 'em
We're too busy
Actin' like we know too much
Fakin' love and fuckin' up
Our friendships
We don't feel connected
We're too busy
Talkin' shit and losin' sleep
We make it look easy
[Verse 2]
I'm a flirt, but I get real hurt
When you call me a tease
All I wanna do is please people
But they're killing me
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
We don't trust no one 'cause
We don't wanna work on it
We'd rather sit and
[Chorus]
Glorify our problems
But we never solve 'em
We're too busy
Actin' like we know too much
Fakin' love and fuckin' up
Our friendships
We don't feel connected
We're too busy
Talkin' shit and losin' sleep
We make it look easy
[Bridge]
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Na-na-na-na-na-na
(Please)
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Na-na-na-na-na-na
(Please)
[Chorus]
Glorify our problems
But we never solve 'em
We're too busy
Actin' like we know too much
Fakin' love and fuckin' up
Our friendships
We don't feel connected
We're too busy
Talkin' shit and losin' sleep
We make it look easy
[Outro]
Na-na-na-na-na-na
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Na-na-na-na-na-na
Easy

Who produced z's ?
z was produced by Robyn Dell’Unto & Reed Berin.
What did GAYLE say about "z"?
[…] It’s about general experiences as a generation we’ve all experienced in one way or another. It’s very, very, very sarcastic.
—via The Daily Shuffle
it makes fun of gen z stereotypes
—via TikTok
Funny enough, Twitter and the meme culture against Gen Z is what really inspired the song. Sure,...
What have the artists said about the music video?
When I write a song, I almost immediately associate it with a color. “Z” was green to me from the start, so I always wanted an aspect of the color in every scene. The whispering in the ear scene was inspired by the first verse, and I knew I wanted a video image too.
