She just wants to go home

[@phoebexesther]

I love how smug and confident and sassy she looks in this one

[@bobthebuilderday6leader]

Same, the confidence is OH SO ATTRACTIVE

[@extravagant_penguin]

Stevie really said "I love cocky dodie." And dodie said "say no more."

[@rubylyra341]

Also, anyone else notice how dodes doesn't hesitate with the cake here? Where as before in say, in the middle, she had a beautiful monologue describing the worries of cakes at special events? I feel that's a huge metaphor for moving forward and getting better, and im so fucking proud.

[@afeatherinthewind]

RIGHT I love it so so much

[@montsetvz]

OMGGGG i hadn't thought about that!!

[@mysteriousandforeboding]

I DIDNT THINK OF THAT I LOVE THAT SO MUCH

[@IsaacReuben]

YESSS

[@morgrugyn]

And this is why i read the comments

[@cosplayannie]

The imagination of dodie having to record this with the song playing like 2x faster in real time to record this in slow-motion is ✨pure serotonin✨

[@niamhkelly6859]

If you change the video speed to x1.75 you can see about how fast she had to have the song!

[@kryptkrawler7859]

My thoughts the whole time 🤣

WONDERFUL! Party Bus! (Also v clean on outside party bus!) xxx

[@sarahdrakemusic]

i love that this song is so ironic. she's literally throwing herself a pity party in a car wash

[@nisipisa]

this song and video are so good it's ridiculous. i'm obsessed with this

dont be shy, release the non slowed down version🥺

you can see how it looks without being slowed down if you put it at 1.5x speed

1:17 the way she looks at the car wash thingy my god

[@kyleejeanf]

Oof!

[@paperghosttt]

find someone who looks at you the way dodie looks at a "car wash thingy"

[@RobTFilms]

anyone else get the vibe this paints dodie as a villain in her own song?

[@thebookgoddess7380]

omg yes! she almost seems like a bratty child at a birthday party!!!

[@RobTFilms]

@@thebookgoddess7380 villain arc tbh

[@heydoeradio7298]

She's playing up against the critics. From what I've read from the people that don't like her they thinks she's a childish bratty idiot who just wants praise. So she's kinda showing how stupid that is by playing on it

[@jaimes6152]

Yes, absolutely!

[@pinifa2162]

2:16 I absolutely love the little "waah" in the background

[@vivianchang5237]

Dodie’s storytelling abilities are truly a major part of what makes her songs unlike anything I’ve ever listened to before

[@leenanorms]

I think this one is my favourite!!

[@cosplayannie]

I love how this whole album takes place in a car/cab ✨

[@phoebeel]

Ok new theory: this video reminds me of the glasses advert she did with Evan. Maybe because it's her 10yr anniversary on KZbin, all the videos for her album are an Hommage to old videos. Like the video I hate myself is maybe reminiscent of human video?

[@Tyler-sj8tj]

Wait that's actually such a good theory-

[@blofishmusic]

Yessss she’s wearing the same stars on her face in the Evan vid as well

[@leonsmooth8414]

"heartbreak only means that it was worth it" damn thats genius

[@rubylyra341]

OH MY GOD DODIE! the SERATONIN THIS GAVE ME! I haven't stopped happy stimming! Especially at the confetti part! Omg. This video shows so much charisma and sass and slight cockiness and just, absolute genius in a car wash, all the glasses, the party rings, its so fuckin British and so BEAUTIFUL I LOVE YOU SM!!

[@jayrodriguez5398]

YESSS HAPPY STIMS

[@lillibear69]

SALTY DOODIE UNLOCKED 🔓

[@ilikegreenteaverymuch4173]

this song and video have such a specific feel to them. they encapsulate this feeling of sassy, confident, kid like behaviour in such an accurate way. and the car wash just adds to the feeling of being a kid. i feel like this is going to be a favourite of mine!

[@katiefreedman3192]

The outro with the repetitive, overlapping singing, instruments and laughter has such a frantic, exuberant, almost manic energy it captures the feeling of being young and utterly self-assured so well! Big main character vibes

[@offbeatkiki]

Ok I love all these filmed-in-a-car lyric videos but this one is DEFINITELY my favorite. So sassy in combination with the lyrics.

[@ashleigh-eva]

"you blew me up like a big balloon far too soon, i'm left a stuttering teen"

[@lilali9797]

Okay but dodie trying on all those glasses just remind me of tell me a story and i had a lil giggle

jack: how many sunglasses do you want? dodie: yes

[@songbirdellen]

love Jack's little cameos in the reflective sunglasses

[@EmBotBeepBeep]

I really hope that you watched this back and fell in love with yourself the way the rest of us did

[@pat6842]

I would pay a ridiculous amount for any of those sunglasses.. Also, loooove the hair movements mimicking the car wash movements at 2:56 and towards the end

[@kieran163]

the “it’s not my fault” reminded me of something, i feel stupid now- am i missing something stupidly obvious??

[@jeanz638]

its in the cats and gall bladers videos????

[@payton7728]

same lyric in before the line

[@isabelberger9441]

Thematically, it kind of reminds me of her song, “Guiltless.”

[@claireoverdorf9284]

@@isabelberger9441 yeah that’s what’s i was thinking! specifically the line “and don’t say it’s genetics”, bc i always took that to mean “don’t say it’s something inherent about you/me”

[@sage_aurielle]

yeah she said “it’s not my fault” in the cats and gall bladders video and then she sang it lol

[@winterwolf1111]

Omg the connection between all these is amazing

[@dhaonrisemlan]

I just came from Orla's "You're not special, babe" to this and I am spinning.

[@TheRealChibby]

I never used to understand what it meant when people said: "That's a mood." Thank you for clearing that up for me Dodie.

[@tmuller9905]

1:04 that sorry sounds good!

[@ellispipermusic]

oh i just ADORE how this was recorded faster and then slowed down!! it works so well, I love how her hair moves and the balloons look so suspended :)

[@benjiroy8774]

I love the message behind this one. It kind of feels like commentary on how toxic being the person standing out can feel, while also somewhat attempting to reclaim the status you've achieved as a positive thing. As i'm trying to write this comment i'm just discovering so many avenues of interpretation and i love how complex the potential perspectives on this song are.

[@julianjaffe8739]

The Joni Mitchell influnece in this song is PALPABLE and I LOVE it!

[@blue-qh5ye]

You can just see how much fun dodie had filming this 😂 so wholesome

[@claireabbot2847]

thought I couldn't love this video more and then she threw that peace sign at the end LMAO I love it

[@flappetyflippers]

Or swore if you're British lol

[@sarahburgess7306]

IF THAT AINT ME

[@annathenerd5345]

adding this song into my “these songs give me too much confidence” playlist. i feel so suave listening to it

[@unionunicorn6776]

I honestly can’t tell you how relatable this is to me. From the first line of the song, to the red heart glasses, to the long hair in pigtails, to the star stickers on the face, to the confetti, to the sprinkles cake... (even treating going through the car wash like a special event lol) these are ALL things I’ve done before/do on a regular basis. It’s like they had a camera on my life... 👀

[@coolguyinshoes]

The vibes emanating from this video are uncomfortably confident

[@RuRuWebby]

ok Sorry is a masterpiece but this is such a BOP

[@bibi-tn4gb]

omg all of these are perfect omg

[@mashthebanana]

Omg the outside of the car being washed while inside Dodie makes it more and more messy XD I love it!

[@bethanyirene7120]

This song is the Blank Space of Build A Problem - the lyrics are likely very true to Dodie’s experiences. The attitude she puts on in this lyric video, the sassy, sexy confidence, makes me think of how Taylor Swift wrote Blank Space to be an over-exaggeration of the stereotypes people think she fits into, so maybe; this is Dodie fully owning the fact that her partners may not understand her due to childhood trauma and being made to be a “special girl time and time again,” and trying to make fun of it, even though underneath it’s painful? I don’t know - this is my interpretation, and I could very well be wrong, so take this with a grain of salt.

[@Izzy-uc3ze]

Omg the clarinet in this song is literally the best

[@tristachilds2232]

this feels like a fever dream but in the best way

[@hannahjoy.mp351]

Was anyone else worried she wouldn't have time to finish her bite of that first cookie before having to sing again?

[@Johnsmith47890]

This song is so experimental and fun. Of course I love a dodie sad bob but it’s so good seeing this versatility. Queen!!! ❤️❤️❤️

[@aspiringsandspeilmechanic9218]

She looks like she is having so much fun, though maybe that's just for the video. Either way its nice to see her happy!

[@claireabbot2847]

would happily listen to the sweet sweet irony part on repeat until I die

[@snidget1559]

Thank you dodie for this visual representation of how a manic episode feels 🎈😎🎈

[@professorquinsonsnib]

every time i feel a wave of self hatred or criticism coming on, this song plays in my mind. and suddenly, i feel more proud to be myself.

[@FuzzyStripetail]

The car wash that special girl dodie went through probably intentionally ballooned their prices because they were jealous of all of those variously colored balloons in her car.

[@cheshiretiger5698]

Nah, they were just satly she didnt share her cake. She deserves 1 all to herself anyways.

[@dartapriedniece6936]

The SASS level in this is insane

The first time I heard this I didn’t like it very much but over time it has grown on me so much to the point where it’s my favorite song on the album. I feel incredibly confident and spunky any time I listen to it and the vibes are AMAZING. Keep it up dodie!
