Lyrics:
Tell the men I’m coming
Tell them count the days
I can feel the night passing by like a mistake waiting for me
Caught up in my feelings
Overthink the truth
Fantasize you’ve left me behind and I’m turned back running for you
Make it up to me you know it’s better
Make it up to me you know it’s better!
Be sweet to me baby
I want to believe in you I want to believe
Be sweet to me baby
I want to believe in you I want to believe in something
So come and get your woman
Pacify her rage
Take the time to undo your lies make it up once more with feeling
Recognize your mistakes and I’ll let you back in
Realize not too late, loved you always
Make it up to me you know it’s better
Make it up to me you know it’s better!
Be sweet to me baby
I want to believe in you I want to believe
Be sweet to me baby I want to believe in you
I want to believe in something

YASSS YOURE JIMMY FALLON BIG!!!!!

[@ScottTeresi]

These pandemic performances are so much better than just performing in the studio.

[@popburnsy3207]

It's really allowed them to radically change the regular staging compared to the basic late-night set up

[@greatspirit]

@@popburnsy3207 Her voice is irritating.

[@JohnMiller-mmuldoor]

@@greatspirit yea but also intriguing. I dunno

Jimmy Fallon big!

[@AS8643]

I'm your northern neighbor's daughter (Rickie and Becky), and this is my first time hearing your music and seeing you perform. You're amazing and the vibe you bring is something special!

[@sueann5233]

She has a voice to die for but her band is also awesome!! I hope they all stay together!! I love you all!! Thank you all!!!

[@meursault.1984]

she's married to the guitarist right, so...

[@ericjohnson829]

I really enjoyed the album version of this song and came here to see the performance. Still fun but this live recording highlights the limitations of her singing ability and vocal range. Without the backing vocalist tracks supporting, you would really be able to hear it for what it is. This is less singing and more talking in key, with the key of the song really being too high for her vocal range as she is really straining to say the higher notes.

[@Shorkshire]

@@ericjohnson829 yea this....isn't so great. But she's a nice person at least!

[@chuckauleslowedreverb]

@@ericjohnson829she did very good and hits the notes without a problem. i think you’re totally wrong here.

[@1EndlessDream]

Will never get tired of watching them perform!

[@gregorybenoit8526]

They are scheduled to perform on SNL next Saturday, May 21st!

[@1EndlessDream]

@@gregorybenoit8526 I noticed!! So happy Michelle is getting that opportunity 😁

@Alex_Kills dude i see your comments on every time to twice lol hi

[@mantis_monk]

Just discovered them from SNL...Love their music! Plus she's Korean like me 😁

[@bryanhunt1695]

I was at a concert where someone fell down and she stopped the concert. Love that she cares about her fans!

[@JC-yy8iv]

Any time I don’t exactly “get” a particular Japanese Breakfast song at first, seeing it played live always reveals its appeal to me

[@mass18th]

Absolutely love that they threw back to the video while doing this live. Such an amazing song

[@turdlop]

Only way you could get me to watch Fallon!

This song is just so groovalitious! The Basse guitar is flipping awesome! For a lefthanded person he sure plays things right.. .. .. ......

[@Getmes6]

Marisa couldn't have been more perfect for the video, glad she got a cameo here! That synth just hits harder on a live performance don't know why hah

[@azu-letoh1441]

One of my 2021 favorite songs for sure

[@NathanielFelix2022]

Cool ❤️🙂

[@travgpeters1]

this group always sounds so good live ! . been a huge fan ever since i heard "everybody wants to love you" while i was in Tokyo ..

[@soundbombin23]

That 80s Japanese City Pop sound 🔥

[@bluepandaman]

No, this is not city pop. And she is not Japanese.

[@ClappingForChlamydia]

@@bluepandaman Both of the statements you make are true. But I used to live in Japan and in Korea, and this song most definitely has a J-Pop (not K-Pop) vibe. The synthesizers, the lead vocals with the background vocals blending together at the bridge ("Recognize")-- it's very J-Pop (specifically 80's city pop).

[@umarnobbee2649]

@@bluepandaman when did they say she was japanese? lol. This is most definitely city pop. Has every element, the synths, the keyboard, the bright feeling, 80's styled vocals.

[@steveort2105]

I love how people just HAVE to throw some genre at the songs they listen to - "Yo this is some dope Norwegian viking forest anal-fissure K-pop"

[@kelsey403]

@@steveort2105 having or knowing the genre helps people find more music that they'll like. Categorizing isn't an inherently bed thing. I like x, this has elements of x but also y. I find I like y, I look for more bands with elements of y. now I'm not stuck listening to the same 4 bands I've been listening to since high school.

[@southerndiy1]

Jimmy Fallon big

[@bosniak1961]

It reminds me of a new wave from 80's and it makes me happy actually,

[@adriananegrete8259]

I totally agree. I love it

[@Otter-Destruction]

It took me a good year to find these guys, wait well worth it.

[@PeacechanNation]

I freaking love that they brought back Marisa Dabice from Mannequin Pussy and even the Alien as a call back of the MV. I never get tired of this song!

Amazing song

[@nativeskywalker]

Just found about this awesome band from conan podcast and now just jamming and feeling the vibes

[@martinone9]

Today is the first time I’ve heard of them and they are awesome! Bought the cd,sounds really good.

[@shiftybat7318]

I lucked out and got to see them at a Small theater on Cape Cod not too long before lockdown and they were so lovely. Some bands are 'studio bands' and some are 'live bands' if you know what I mean and they surprised me by being the latter. Also I got a supremely cute tee shirt out of it. They are playing a festival in a few months with another great live, Florence and the Machine. If you are reading this and have the means See. That. Show.

[@rhonaldneitzel2410]

I can’t stop hearing the Korean version of this song whenever I hear it 🥲🤧✨🎵🎶

I am old, and I only like a few of the new bands. But I love this song. Performing live, they are still interesting and joyful. Reminds me of actually the early 90s when I would go to a club and hear esoteric new bands in the Bay Area. This band would have fit right in. Such talent!

[@odreuy3821]

Hey, I discovered her music recently and this song along with paprika sounds great to me. Could someone help me understand what she is trying to say in 'Paprika' with "strands of fishing line attached to coarse behavior". English is not my first language and I really like this song, and I would like to understand it.
