[VERSE 1]
I can’t lie, it feels nice that you’re calling
You sound sad and alone and you’re stalling
and for once, I don’t care about what you want, as long as we keep talking
(as long as we’re talking)
[VERSE 2]
I mean, you gotta admit the history’s
kind of unmatched
Asian Calvinism- we made it out of that
Well, whether we’re free of will or predestined,
Clearly I’ve not learned my lesson even now
Hope He doesn’t strike me down (strike me down)
[PRE CHORUS 1]
The Goo Goo Dolls are dead to me
the way you should be too
but you bring them up
along with how much I fucking miss you
[CHORUS 1]
Maybe I’m just not better than this, I haven’t tried
Maybe life’s less romantic when I don’t wanna die
You’d think I’d be a fast learner
but guess I won’t ever mind crisping up on your backburner
[POST]
Your backburner
Your backburner
Your backburner
[VERSE 2]
It’s pathetic but at least, you are too
I don’t know what to do
I don’t like anyone except sometimes you
And now you’re sounding like a hurt puppy
You look ugly when you cry
but I’m the one you think to call
How do you feel lucky and appalled
at the same time?
After everything you put me through
I somehow still believe in you, oh (I do, I do, I do)
[PRE CHORUS 2]
but I know in a week or so,
you’ll fade away again
and I wish that I cared
Hey are you still there?
Good
[CHORUS 2]
Maybe I’m just not better than this, I haven’t tried
Cause maybe you’ll finally choose me after you’ve had more time
I thought I was a fast learner,
but guess I won’t ever mind, guess I won’t ever mind
Maybe I blame my mother bleeding into my stride
Maybe it was my father and his wandering eyes
(It’s their fault that) I’ll always be in your corner
Cause I don’t feel alive ‘til I’m burning on your backburner
[POST]
Oh, and I know that it’s sad that I settle for the backburner
Oh, guess I won’t ever mind crisping up on your backburner
Oh, as long as you still think of me
Oh

[@abbii1718]

this is very different from how i thought the video would be, but i think there’s also like a deeper meaning to it. obviously the main message is that she’s looking back on the memories with this person as the events with this person happened years ago, but i think there’s another added element. the video has so many cute and silly moments with niki and it kind of strays away from the songs longing and sadder sentiments of the song. during the video i found myself smiling and laughing, but then again i’d think about how the songs actual meaning and i’d be stuck with a sense of longing among all the fun memories she’s trying to depict. it’s not just happy moments, it’s looking back on how those memories are no longer there with that person you miss. i guess the song is really trying to be the backburner during the happy montage. maybe i’m reading too much into it, but regardless this song is such a gem

[@dotslashdotslahsdotslash]

I think the facial expression of Niki at the end of the video is kind of self explanatory and the most important part of it.

Buat seangkatan (setua) gw sih, Niki ini jadi pengobat rindu kalo lo suka ama lisa loeb, alanis, jewel, sheryl crow, ampe band2 kayak cranberries, sixpence none the richer and so on.. Lebihnya, niki nih bisa nganterin kita "kemana aja", name the genre. Bedanya, ini anak Indonesia yg bisa nyentuh telinga sedunia pake lagu2nya dan (seperti) ngga butuh banyak "make-up" yg berlebihan buat go worldwide. Pokoknya thanks for the songs, niki. Keep going!

[@fyc88]

"Backburner” is a type of relationship where you are together but not officially. A backburner is a reserved person in case you don't end up with the one you are pursuing. In Nikki's music video, she's the backburner. He only calls her when he's sad, hence the lyrics "And now you’re sounding like a hurt puppy. You look ugly when you cry, but I’m the one you think to call." The videos are their memories whenever they are together that they can’t disclose or post for everyone to see. She’s settling for this kind of relationship even though she knows that she doesn't deserve this "Oh, and I know that it’s sad that I settle for the backburner”… AS LONG AS THEY KEEP TALKING. AS LONG AS HE STILL THINKS OF HER.

I have a theory how this is a perfect follow up to the trilogy (High School in Jakarta, Before, Oceans and Engines) as we can get a closure from Niki's character. it's somehow a glimpse of how she is days or months (probably years, who knows) after their breakup -- moving forward, striving, having fun, and living the best life. thanks for letting us know that good times will come, Niki.

[@michellebiliran416]

cool theory

[@johnseredey2858]

[@kageyamatobio5519]

This song is mainly about people who was been used as an option, the mv portrays the sweet, cute, and random memories of a person with the person that they were been with in that situationship.

[@rasellynx8508]

what if these are her collection of memories, having fun with herself and friends while having no connection with a certain person. like it all happened when she felt like she was a backburner, hence the line, “i know in a week or so you’ll fade away again”. she lived those days and continue to live her life like her world doesn’t revolve on a certain person, but at the back of her mind, she’s still waiting for that someone. hoping for that slowly dying hope of connection. maybe that’s why she looked sad at the end. even though those are fun-filled memories, there’s an underlying situation happening during those times. and that’s her being a backburner. idk, i know there are other ways to interpret this video but i just love this song and the whole album so much!

[@sushimcgravy]

I love this interpretation

[@nadyaahaha9373]

to everyone who hears their story listening to this song, i'm so sorry it has to be this way and i'm sorry we have to settle for their backburner. sending you strength, we will see brighter days ✨

Discovered Niki last year through spotify algorithm with her song Oceans and Engines. Last december, I ended my almost six years 'backburner' with a man I definitely want to end up with. This song's on loop on my spotify. Everything hurts. And can we talk about the "maybe you'll finally choose me after you had more time" line? Because that shits too real and painful as hell.

[@roughlandingrosie]

Niki being so candid in this video is the highlight of my day, week, year, life. 😭 Obv didn't expect this mv for this track but daaammnnn our queen never disappoints 👑✨💖

[@Edacity]

[@aleclightwood6878]

Whenever the thought of him not loving me back creeps into my mind, I have a fail-proof solution: I play this song. It's like a magical antidote that instantly lifts my spirits and makes me feel good. Seriously, it's like a shot of happiness straight to the heart. I don't know what it is about this song, but it has this incredible power to wash away all the doubts and insecurities. It's like a musical reminder that I deserve someone who loves me just as much as I love them. So, yeah, I'll keep playing this song on repeat, because it's my secret weapon against heartache.

[@sharonunwritten]

I love how the footages show Niki in a childlike demeanour and reinforce the loss of her joys of innocence. After the relationship ends, she matures and is only then able to deliver this beautiful introspective song 🤍🤍✨✨

This song hurts like hell, like im being a backburner right now tbh. He’s in a complicated relationship while Im the one who kept clinging onto bcs he thinks of me and wants me in his life in some form. I still am by his side until now but maybe sooner or later I’ll realize my worth in this world. This situation is so sad and this song too but its perfect.

[@meuryv]

when he faded away for some time, i thought i had enough to let him go. but then, it took only a text from him to make me go back as if i wasn't even hurt. thank you niki, the song hits home.

just had my first ever experience as a backburner, and I decide to sign out 😀 ternyata aku ga tahan hahaha it was nice having a crush on him, but seeing he hangout with other girl was a humbling moment for me, I was never his first choice, nor second. I love every second of this track, the mv, and everything about your song. thank you kak niki sayang 🤍

[@oliverskies7088]

This song holds a very special place in my heart. It came out when I was working on my thesis and I'd replayed this song over and over while I was writing my last part of my thesis, or when I was crying because of the said thesis.

this is my favorite song off the album and when i first watched this video i was laughing and smiling at all of these clips and then the last 15 seconds showing niki’s face after watching them really hit me and puts it into perspective and explains SO MUCH why this fits so well with the song. like i see it as her looking back at the good memories when she was in a relationship with the person the song pertains to and for a moment she enjoys the nostalgia but once the clips stop she’s back in the reality that while the memories were great, overall the relationship wasn’t and that’s why they aren’t together now, though there’s still that sense of longing and wishing things had ended differently

i used to cry to this song after my 3 year long situationship ended badly many months ago, but now everytime i hear this song i smile because i think of niki’s music video. i used to interpret niki’s happy memories as the bittersweet memories made with a failed situationship. but now, as i try to be optimistic, i see those memories as a reminder that you’re sooo full of life and so much more worth than simply being a backburner. like look how gorgeous niki is when she’s happy & laughing. once you get out of that backburner phase where you’re constantly drained & unhappy, you’ll truly find your inner happiness. & to all my fellow backburners who’s waiting on someone for a long time already, let go. you’re so much more worthy of someone who truly values you. ❤❤

Nik, sekarang aku udah suka seluruh album nicole. Awalnya stuck di backburner. Sampe jadi top song spotify tahun lalu. Sesuka itu haha. sama kadang diselingin on the drive home. Kalau ocean & engines itu yang bikin aku tertarik sama album nicole. Habis demam backburner, lanjut demam before yang versi spotify single nik. Enak banget pake akustik gitu. Liriknya padet kayak diceritain. Sayang banget cuma ada di spotify, jadi ga bisa share di story insta. Tapi gpp udah seneng banget ada versi akustik itu. Karna udah keseringan denger 4 lagu itu aku kepo tracks lainnya. Eh nyantol sama take a chance with me dan anaheim. Anaheim ku puter terus, soalnya enak banget geh nadanya. Lanjut, aku suka the apartment we won't share, vibes yang kebayang malahan kayak tinggal di pedesaan switzerland haha. Terus nik, sekarang aku lagi suka banget facebook friends 😭 lyrics yang "But in the rare case that I do cross your mind I hope you know, you always cross mine" Sedih banget kenapa deh huhu. Tapi se enak itu nik. Ini album top tier parah. Seneng bisa tau Makasih nik udah buat masterpiece nicole ini.

Happy, silly moments with sad, longing lyrics. Who thought this video would make you feel the emotions more intensely? Niki, I love you.

[@anisaulia4163]

and now i'm still love him

[@covalentbond1817]

This has always been my favorite, thank you for making a music video for it. It feels like no longer making any memories with someone you used to know. It feels like losing half your world.

[@estella4eva]

this song will forever be so important to me because you pointed at me during this song in nashville on tour and i’ll remember it forever ily nicole

[@Eprems-p8t]

Bago to sumikat, napa-nuod ko na yung glimpse ng song sa Tiktok. Then I recommended it sa mga friends ko, nung una parang cringe pa sila pero now we can't stop talking abt how the artist has his pure talent. Sana malabas to sa Spotify para ma-soundtrip sa inuman. ❤

[@sasa.sasa.sasa.]

[@Muhammad_Hadziiq]

[@savirrschannel]

i love that this is just about niki being niki and living her life💖

[@adichanph]

I usually lose interest in a song after listening to it for a week, but damn.. I've been listening to this song since its release, and I'm never getting tired of it. It's like this song is deeply engraved in my soul. I love you, Ms. Nicole Zefanya.

[@ReMiNiScEnCeOrGaN]

Hi Niki, how are you, are you tired of this incomprehensible fuss around!? I should say you are close to me in spirit! Very original! Thank you

[@naaf__]

Senyumnya niki nular astagaa 🤗 Hope you always happy niki 💕

[@official_suniewon3]

This is my favorite song of all time...and I just found out that I'm a Backburner and I'm also someone's Backburner...

[@ruswindaberlianaputri8866]

Backburner such a vibe, this song is so about me over januari til now idk why, one of my fav song of niki!!! Lala lost you accoustic version is LEGIT

[@kageyamatobio5519]

National Anthem of those people who are in situationship right now.

[@4maranth4]

idk, the MV is just a bunch of clips but it somehow made me cry. it spoke to me. i love that. i love you, niki. Such a great artist

[@vlasovklemen1114]

I love how she created her own style that's so calm and comforting

[@ywisnuhandayani614]

I love Niki, her voice, her smile, her energy, her vibe, everything.

[@betonsulton4554]

Ga tau kenapa denger lagu Niki keinget sama mama dan kakek yg dah istirahat disana. Nostalgia yg hanya bisa di rasa dan tak bisa diraih

[@sun06veyflowers]

TEH NIKIIII THIS IS MY FAVORITE ON NICOLE😭😭😭😭 suka pengen nangis tiap denger ini lagu sekarang dibuat senyum ketawaa, (edit) pas diakhir pengen nangis lagi😭😭😭 I LOVE YOU❤

[@spacey_ace_kid7504]

this is one of my favorite songs and hands down my favorite MV from NIKI. also, I cried watching this because NIKI looks a lot like my younger sister (who is 17 rn) and in some of the frames the resemblance is uncanny. I'm studying abroad so watching this feels like a montage of her as well. Thanks for sharing these moments with us NIKI. :''))

[@ayallegory]

Literally crying cause I can so relate to this. Niki, your songs never disappoint me!

[@atboim]

Music video yang gak kerasa kalo lagi nonton music video, tau tau udah selesai. Good job Niki and the crew! 👋👋👋

[@avoidouterspace]

I've been neglected in my entire freaking live. my whole highschool era was the worst, I never get a chance to experience such a memories, aku dicari kalau mereka butuh, dibuang kalau udah ga berguna, aku memang berjalam bareng mereka tapi ditaruh di belakang tanpa kasih ruang sejajar sama mereka. Walau aku udah teriak, 'Tungguin!' waktu tali sepatu ku lepas, tapi engga ada yang beneran ngeliat ke belakang dan berhenti sekedar nungguin aku (perumpaan) dan aku udah capek. Aku cuma mau masa-masa bahagia SMA kayak kakak ku... Temen yang loyal, hidup yang bahagia walau jalannya engga mulus. I have enough, aku capek, tapi aku ga dikasih jeda berhenti.

[@missnaturalify]

she looks really happy in the video but it makes me cry harder. such a great way to give it a deeper meaning to the story of the song.

[@akunmanusia12]

Kalo gw perhatiin di MV ini, Niki bkn cmn menyatukan vidio² randomnya dia, tapi dia jg menyesuaikan sama alunan lagunya jadi keliatan rapih enak ditonton

[@shinof_]

Itu udah pasti. Semua MV Wajib klo bikin MV harus disesuaikan sama alunan lagunya

[@ryelxv_]

this song literally suits for me

[@m.a271]

Proud of you Niki❤️ Karyanya tidak pernah mengecewakan ❤️

[@lknnkllmbh6105]

Saya Suka Niki

[@arbitrarytinker2140]

I teared up lol.. I've been listening to this song when I was so heartbroken. Definitely my favorite track on the album! I love you NIKI

[@leslieramos4043]

"As long as we keep talking" "As long as you still think of me" This song feels like a personal attack. Hits hard
