About this release
This song started with the chorus. It showed up fully formed before I really started writing, and I knew I wanted that synth-heavy dance pull from Daft Punk and LMFAO. I grew up playing soccer and then switched to ultimate frisbee in college. After college I took athletics more seriously but still wasn’t spending much time in the weight room. Then I met a girl who is now my wife, who went to the gym every morning, and that became my life for five years. I was working out harder and eating healthier than I ever had in my life. It was a community that pushed me in the best way—competitive and supportive at the same time. People were happy to be there, to work hard, and to hang out after. I barely work out these days, but when I do, I put this song on and it helps me push for that last rep I might not otherwise go for.
Lyrics
Yo there's this girl next door Yea she's got fitness for sure And when she plays the field That honey's running up the score I said babe, how you do it Tell me your secret ways Then she laughed when she saw My scrawny little chicken legs She said don't worry, but It's time for bed young man I got a plan for you That starts at 5am That girl's got fitness And she's on my wishlist She said you gotta do Squats I said how many she said a Lot Down to the bottom back to the Top You can rest tomorrow when you can't Walk We're doing squats doing squats Start slow and light Til you Get your form right Then as you add the weight Keep that back and booty tight Get that snatch, get that clean I know those thrusters are mean Throw those adductors away With that silly smith machine Alright now crunches and curls That shit ain't even for girls So get back in the gym and Pick up something knurled Go get a coach Fast track your growth She said you gotta do Squats I said how many she said a Lot Down to the bottom back to the Top You can rest tomorrow when you can't Walk We're doing squats doing squats Thought I had fitness She's on my wishlist Oh my god it's so heavy Squats I said how many she said a Lot Down to the bottom back to the Top You can rest tomorrow when you can't Walk We're doing squats doing Squats I said how many she said a Lot Down to the bottom back to the Top You can rest tomorrow when you can't Walk We're doing squats doing squats
