huge thank you to the team at Strongroom, Shoreditch for providing the space to film this video and for being so welcoming and helpful throughout the process.
lyrics:
Hair slicked back
Eyeliner black
Drinking rum and coke that she didn’t buy
Moves too fast
To get attached but
Everybody’s in and they’re betting high
I never liked games
‘Cause I’m over competitive
And I don’t wanna be a sore loser
But I like her face so I think that I’m gonna give her what she wants
I’ll play with her
Fine, cool, she’s pretty cool
And I know that I’m just a number and it’s
Fine, cool, she’s pretty
I’m gonna take my time, she has the night
I can wait as long she likes it
And I’m probably never gonna see her again
And I probably should care more that I lost my friends
But this is fun and I’m drunk and I’m single as fuck
Fine, cool, she’s pretty cool
And I know that I’m just a number and it’s
Fine, cool, she’s pretty
I’m not looking for love not looking for love
I’m not looking for love not looking for someone
More than I can handle
Difficult to let go
Calling me an ex not looking for love
We don’t need a goodbye
Just a good night
Not looking for love
I’m looking for something
Cool, she’s pretty cool and I know that I’m a just a number and it’s
Fine, cool, she’s pretty
So pretty yeah
Fine, cool, she’s pretty cool
Fine, cool, she’s pretty cool
And I know that I’m just a number and it’s
Fine, cool, she’s pretty

This gives so much gay serotonin and I'm here for it! It truly is Beth's world and we're all living in it!! ❤

[@aislingoharrigan7543]

Came here from Spotify to say I too think girls are pretty. ❤

[@anaelleg8384]

I've been listening to this song on repeat for a whole ass week, still not getting tired of it, it makes me sooooo happy to be gay, and it makes random crushes feel a lot more light-hearted than they usually do. Thank you, Beth, for this piece of artistry.

[@acc45460]

Most days I just love this song because it's a great song, I like the melody, ect. But some days, like today, I can just FEEL the queer joy. Like, I would have loved to dance to this when I was first figuring out that I liked girls. Don't get me wrong, listening to boybands singing about girls did the trick back then, but this hits different.

[@ChloeGoneRed]

I found Beth by complete and utter luck when she randomly appeared on my "For You" page on TikTok and I very rarely ever use TikTok, so that's even more lucky. It was one of the videos of her interviewing random people and asking them "what do you call it, and it is you". She just comes across as so sweet, wholesome, funny and supportive and she's one of my new favourite artists. Looking forward to seeing her career absolutely skyrocket from here (not that she hasn't already done an absolutely amazing job so far!).

[@SjurVaage]

Fuck yes! I may not know whether I'm straight or queer (questioning for life), but I live for this! Have had the song on repeat since I discovered it, it gives me so much joy, and so does this video. :)

[@alinemaria7384]

how's it going? It took me a long time to discover myself too, but one thing is certain: if you've questioned yourself, there's something!!!

[@AnnabethOwl]

I was questioning for years- now ik I’m lesbian or bisexual with a big preference for girls lol and I am crushing on a girl that told me they like someone else….

[@metalicrobot66]

If you’re questioning this long, you’re probably just queer! And if you’re capable of experiencing straight attraction then you’re probably bisexual, like Beth! Good luck to you on your journey 💕

[@lunadevenus5118]

Me siento tan libre escuchando tu música, es como si finalmente pudiera sentirme identificada por completo, sin tener qué decir me gustó una persona y decir abiertamente cuando me gusta una chica o un chico, es decir, sin miedo a cagarla, sólo vivir sin temor, como se supone que debe sentirse amar o ligar simplemente. Gracias por existir.

[@debraanneclark2188]

Love this track and have it on my Spotify to listen too on repeat😍

[@gracieinnit897]

This my favourite song Ngl!!! Listen to it multiple times on a daily basis! 💖😍🥳

[@crystalqueer666]

I'm watching the music video for the first time as a lesbian on facetime with my straight bsf who has a boyfriend and when the chorus hit I was screaming and like full on gay existential crisis mode and when I tell you she was so confused it was funny.

[@jeremymaslovitz2357]

Chills, this gave me chills. That is how I know how good a song is if I get the chills the song just works. This song is so great.

[@Naturenexus0000]

Another blast by beth, she always nails every song ❤🥰👏.

[@marine1940]

This song on repeat ❤❤ I love it so muuuuuch

[@saratucker9387]

This is truly the BEST. I smiled the entire video. You’re amazing and this song is amazing 😍💙

[@xw7081]

Lowkey in love with all of her friends (and of course Beth herself) in this video. They're all so cool! High key in love with the brunette in the green top thoughhh😅

[@sasss04]

Only been listening to this song on repeat for the last week! In love 😍

[@hanloum]

Beth I can’t tell you how excited I am for this video. My mental health has taken a downfall after my first queer break up after hiding my sexuality for years and your music/videos on tiktok really put a smile on my face. Thank you 🩷

[@ClareCordell]

Fine, cool, I’m excited!!! 👀🌿✨🎶

[@fortheculture1537]

Very nice , I also like the song that’s called “Dupe - Dost” 😅😅
