Lyrics:
I’m the kind of girl
Who takes things a little too far
Presses a little too hard
That’s why you left a mark and
I’m the kind of girl
Who wants everything she can’t get
Leaving alone and yet
Somehow still leaving a mess but
I’m a girl who’s learning
Everything I say isn’t
Definitive
I’m not some kind of minor trope
Who’s never gonna change that’s so
Derivative
I could get up tomorrow
Talk to myself real gentle
Work in the garden
Go out and meet somebody
Who actually likes me for me
And this time I’ll let them
Yeah, I like telling stories
But I don’t have to write them in ink
I could still change the end
At least I’m the kind of girl
I’m the kind of girl who thinks I can
I’m the kind of girl
Who’s likely to drive you insane
Reckless forever untamed
A little in love with the pain but
I’m the kind of girl
Who owns up to all of my faults
Who’s learning to laugh at ‘em all
Like I’m not a problem to solve
I’m a girl who’s blowing on a dandelion
Thinkin’ how the winds could change at
Any given time
I could get up tomorrow
Talk to myself real gentle
Work in the garden
Go out and meet somebody
Who actually likes me for me
And this time I’ll let them
Yeah, I like telling stories
But I don’t have to write them in ink
I could still change the end
At least I’m the kind of girl
I’m the kind of girl who thinks I can

[@whereismuna]

this is a song about accepting yourself as you are and admitting that you still want to grow and change. we hope you love the track-and this amazing one shot video directed by taylor james-as much as we do.

[@kcnugent3789]

i am so thankful for y’all and your talent to seemingly put into words the things that i didn’t even realize i needed to be voiced. i’m so proud to call myself a fan and i love your music with all of my heart ❤️ can’t wait to see y’all live soon!

[@user-yj3wz4uk2g]

Thank you so much for greatful video! It makes me feel better and cant stop watching it.

[@weeemms9148]

I've literally just discovered your music this past week, I've been playing your albums over and over again, this is another one for the favourite playlist, I have so many, perfect song! ❤️ Your music is class! 👌

[@ARI-kn3wz]

MY LOVES MY HEARTS MY QUEENS AND KINGS MY WORLD I ABSOLUTELY LOVE YOU MUNA! Literally made my month better 💘💘💘💘🥹🥹🥹🥹

[@do2235]

🥺🖤

[@thegravelbro]

I transitioned to male 8 years ago, but I’m so grateful for MUNA’s ability to transport me back to the teenage girl I once was. Their music has this tender intimacy to it that I can only describe as nostalgic and heart achingly feminine. It feels like the warm buzz of skin when a crush leans into your neck to smell the perfume you had bought with them in mind. Or nursing a broken heart in private, too confused and ashamed to understand how it is or what it meant. There are so many vibrant and intricate complexities to being a woman, especially a lesbian woman, that I often forget until MUNA takes my hand and walks me back in time. And I’m so happy they do. I may not be her anymore, but I miss her and I’m proud of her. It always makes my throat buckle and my chest swell, but in a good way. Like remembering an old friend who would’ve fucking loved this band and felt held by it. MUNA’s music is a place my heart can return to.

[@dr.d.45]

Wow I love this Leonardo. I consider myself more male, mostly because I am uncomfortable in a woman’s body and I know I have been male in other lives, but I never considered transitioning. I love how you honor the memory of her and your time as her. There is something very special about being a woman that loves women. This may be why I chose to remain a woman. There is also something very powerful about a woman that transitions into a more representative version of the one that lives inside of her; and she becomes he. I have always been proud of my androgyny, even more so as I get older. Enjoy your freedom, live it fully.

[@harryrocks44]

I had only heard and read before trans people who absolutely did not miss their old them. Reading what you wrote is beautiful for the appreciation you have for the band and the warm and nostalgic feeling they can convey but as a lesbian it also makes me sad. I cannot imagine if I had transitioned (I had strong dysphoria as a teenager, thankfully I wasn't constantly pushed to act on it and I healed by surrounding myself with positive messages from women who could understand and/or had the same experience) and thus socially renounced on my lesbian identity. It's now one of the things I love the most about me. This band makes me happy and proud, present time, and I wish it could be that for all of us.

[@GeorgiaGeorgette]

That's one of the most profound and moving things I've ever had the pleasure and privilege to read. Heartfelt best wishes to you.

I saw them live this spring, and people were WORSHIPPING during this song (me included). Jo threw their hands up at "I'm the kind of girl who thinks I can." After the song, she said, "I always love to hear you guys singing that, it's always so special for me. It makes me believe... I don't know, it makes me believe in something."

[@zeemaybee]

This is a song feels like... an early morning walk in the city, where the outside is still cold, and you can see your breath, but you can see the sun creep up over the horizon and between the buildings as you make your way through the city. It sounds sad, but hopeful, and healing.

[@6minus3minus2]

The spirit of Shania runs through this and it is sensational

[@rhyl9310]

I’m not even a girl, but fuck yeah I’M THAT KIND OF GIRL. Thanks for this song about accepting one’s self for who we are instead of forcing to what the society wants us to be. 💜

[@regrowthprojects]

nobody is doing it like Muna. They hit every time

[@JigglesBunny]

I wept like a fucking baby hearing this for the first time and I still weep on the twentieth. What an instant classic.

[@natbartine4151]

YEAH I LIKE TELLING STORIES, BUT I DONT HAVE TO WRITE THEM IN INK. I CAN STILL CHANGE THE END. What a beautiful line. I can’t help but smile when Katie sings it. Spectacular. Thank you

[@thequeenamazon3709]

their songs always make me feel understood, reassured and seen. they kinda feel like older siblings to me

[@annaaccola6371]

i just want to say that i'm beyond grateful because your band has changed my life. i really want to see and watch you live in the Philippines. everytime i listen to your songs it feels like i'm hugged by your songs, i felt understood and accompanied. your song is my therapy right now that i'm going through a heartbreak. i listen to every songs you wrote, i can say that i usually skip when listening to other singers taylor swift and you are exceptional, not a single bad song. thank you for this new awe-inspiring song again MUNA! THANK YOU FOR EXISTING! I LOVE YOU SO MUCH.

[@Cristobels-Green-Boots]

🙏🏽💔🙏🏻

[@caitconley5755]

"desert hearts" vibes! god they're all so wonderful and talented. Love u forever MUNA

[@realmepro02]

This line hits hard. *"I could get up tomorrow, Talk to myself real gentle"* It had happened to me when I'm still in my teenage dreams, the desire that I want to become in life, not just in personality but in experience too. And now what I've owe is that nothing change me but the power and desire that hunts me inside, wants to get up and do things that is going on that right direction. FYI my life has been ups and downs and I'm still a fighter.

[@moonymany]

This MV is one of the most beautiful things I have ever seen, it's so simple but so well done, and the concept of the name making a bit of a contrast with their looks, it's just so good and genius

[@lastiny]

I am Addicted to Muna...once again an amazing song by a band that writes 1 amazing song after another!

[@Cristobels-Green-Boots]

“Yeah, I like telling stories, but don’t have to write them in ink - I can still change the end” A ton of feeling & empathy in these beautiful lyrics…& the setting tells us that the World is wide… From Brighton 🌈 UK: take care & be well y’all! 🙏🏻💔🙏🏽

It seems MUNA is incapable of doing a bad song!! Any genre you guys do its so awesome anyways, i only found your music last year and became a loyal listener of your 2 albums and a huge fan♡ keep it up!!

[@juliablizin8885]

The toss of the hat...damn classy homage to "That Girl" (Marlo Thomas). A brilliant earthbound shoutout for kings everywhere - in stubble, 'stache, or wishes. Thank you MUNA! thank you Taylor James et al. Love it and love you 😘

[@jodie1198]

This song legit made me tear up when they performed it live and I’m soooo glad it’s finally out!!!YEEHAW 🤠

[@Nighty9126]

idk this song feels so comfy

[@MilaOh]

MUNA writing country ballads now 🥹 I love

[@ezlanpowers]

I would give anything to put to words how thankful I am for Muna and their music. I'm not even a girl anymore, I never really was, but this resonated as a nonbinary person whose spent most of their life fighting against the grain of what is acceptable and what is Other. I have hard, thick walls around me slowly coming down at this time to allow love into my life. Walls that destroyed and brought people to insanity, like the lyrics mention. I think this is a beautiful ode to finding yourself as a person whose been mostly struggling their whole life to accept love from those around them. Especially the most intimate folks in our lives. Sometimes, you see the worst sides of someone when they get the closest to you. They feel safe letting down the guard and showing you what you're working with. In my case, I'm keeping some walls up to protect others right now that I need to face. I'll keep listening to this song and believing that I'm the kind of person who thinks I can.

[@lovecrop]

thank you

[@weirdlittleworm]

how do y'all know exactly the song I need to hear at the exact time I need to hear it bc this is getting weird now... ANYWAY so iconic, like BIG, like stan 🖤

Despite a bunch of 70s music in my current feed (I went on a funk & punk bender for a project), MUNA showed up & I'm thinking my algorithm really does know me. 😉 Growing up, I was into Throwing Muses & Luscious Jackson (also Tracy Chapman, Cat Power....) & MUNA feels a little like going home.
