Lyrics:
I know ive only existed 300.000+ years
so I might not know it all
but I know my way around the streets
in the veins of my brain ah
sometimes I feel less human
when I lock myself up
record myself singing
taped
do u like the way I sound when I'm down and I shut my thoughts up?
taped
taped
taped
this one time I told someone
he said he said he said
I wouldnt wanna have ur mind
I said I said I said
I really really don't mind
I bet that nobody wants to find what I find
another time
I met someone
she said she said she said
I wouldnt wanna have ur mind
she left he left they left
I really really don't mind
I smiled I smiled I lied
I agree
I just need
some relatability
I tend to overshare
everytime that someone cares
but the minute I shut up I shut down and I feel like a clown
they're never funny
for a second it's a movie
where I never got the part
I actually really wanted
so I live off the success of my head being messy and unimpressed
Naaz is a 21-year-old singer-songwriter and producer from Holland, who immediately captures your attention with her distinctive voice. Having a Kurdish background, it took Naaz quite some time and effort to convince her family to allow her to follow her passion. During that time, Naaz taught herself to write, produce and record her own music in her bedroom, so she could still be able to make music regardless of any circumstances. Together with producers of Soulsearchin' she finishes her bedroom born music so that her quirky, playful yet subtle productions go hand in hand with her melodic songwriting.

Naaz will be a special guest at Melanie Martinez's K-12 Tour

[@randomdude4212]

Yes! I have seen her in cologne! She was so fucking cute!

[@lukashassler-samberger5514]

So when i was on the tour i don’t know her but now i loove her her voice is so beautiful

[@ame43332]

It's been a year and I still don't know who's Melanie Martinez

[@Salam.2000-]

You know, this song represents my life too well as a Kurdish girl who is expected to follow the same footsteps as other kurdish women(getting married, having a family, and doing housework). Kurdish family can be so harsh in their judgements if your values and goals don't hold true to theirs 100%. If this isn't the struggle of a Kurdish girl trying to make a path to her goals in a house full of people who don't even try to listen to her voice... I love this song, girl. Keep going! Your voice is beautiful and your music is relatable. You give me hope, sis. Like, you make me want to stop trying to impress my family, but start trying to treat myself as a human too. I have goals and dreams. This song is truly a gift from God. 💖I have to be honest, girl. You made me shed some tears.

[@naazCM]

سلام this was my exact goal thank u so much her biji I will pray for u to find your path, u can do this ❤️

[@Salam.2000-]

@@naazCM Naaz Awww. I'm so happy you noticed this. I pray your goals are also always set and made. You're truly an inspiration, girl. 😀✊🏽💕💗❤ I pray her biji 2 u too. Queen!

Naaz for Eurovision 2020!!!

[@myrthejanssen4581]

Shes way too good for the eurovision.

[@itsanew3388]

Pretty sure should stay away from a contest that puts quality music almost at the absolute last place

[@emiliomartinez6064]

@@itsanew3388 I think if last year proved something is that quality is appreciated. The Netherlands has won this year with clearly their best song ever and Naaz would be an awesome host entry next year

[@sekret7289]

I would love to see a Dutch girl with Kurdish roots representing the Netherlands at Eurovision in the Netherlands!

[@Ricardo-rv9kl]

Emilio Martínez duncan said in an interview he would love to see Naaz represent Netherlands next year

[@weirdgothkidnoonelikes7690]

Can’t wait to see you as a support act on Melanies Europe tour!!!!!

I'm so glad you UNTAPED yourself. TAPED is already my soundtrack for this year. Keep going, I'm so proud of you sweet Naaz 😄😘

[@xyxytxv]

This amazing. The vocals. The production. The visuals. Everything on fleek. I didn't expect that. I really believe the emotion that she was singing about. It was beautiful ✨

[@DooAndBooChannel]

Been waiting for this video since Hayley’s concert 😍🙌🏻

[@pringels9877]

She is much better in the live performances. That's why these videos are a bit disappointing in my opinion.

[@jedwardellen700]

[@dakotawint]

THIS IS THE BEST SONG

[@tatibeth]

actually I'm obsessed with this song

[@KevinKurzsartdisplay]

I hope that those underrated artists will become the most popular singers of the 2020’s, seriously, they really have good songs

[@Jasmijnwh]

This is one of the most amazing music videos I've ever seen. It's like a short film on music. It all fits perfectly but it is weird at the same time. A true blessing for my eyes, wow.

[@meganrogers6908]

I discovered Naaz when she preformed at melanies k-12 tour in Brixton, I’m honestly obsessed now!

[@cuvulycutie3916]

Same, I listen to her all the time, she's so good!!

[@meganrogers6908]

This song was already so good. BUT THE MEANING BEHIND IT??? Absolutely AMAZING!

[@nazzaniens]

this song has been on repeat since it came out. also been stuck in my head every day
