I thought it was a boy the first time I heard her voice, very unique.

[@PROTHLETE-Buisness]

22 minutes 😂

[@myrawoodall3339]

same bro

[@RagaRaf]

And the lyrics

[@AbigailAustin-vn4vw]

Same 😭💀

[@hooman9554]

Same! Interestingly, I've had the opposite problem with Alex Benjamin

[@StokedPhilosophy]

It's nice seeing a woman with a lower voice in the mainstream

[@coconutt-2kalwp]

2024 was the year of sapphics and pop girlies fr

[@venlovesyou777]

real

[@atlasucks]

Except chappell was kinda getting flamed

[@skyrisetempest1452]

Idk why her song is about girl when she is straight and have husband. Or she is singing of pov of the man of the sailor men singing?

[@ConfuzzeledCreations]

​@@skyrisetempest1452 sailor song is about two lesbians

[@hotchocolateandcats]

​​@@skyrisetempest1452 wdym gigi perez is a lesbian 😭 edit: It's on Wikipedia

[@thebrightqueen]

This is 2024’s Riptide

[@jgodsson479]

Correct

[@Kam64_Diel]

For real

[@klarakriston]

oh my, you're so right

[@luchirimoya]

I WAS ABOUT TO COMMENT THIS, so true 😭😭

[@joanne0]

how??

[@_addie]

I love that her eyes are closed the whole time. You can tell she's feeling the song, not just playing it

[@elliot6573]

such an insane vocal range. i was mesmerized the first time i heard this song, not only for such beautiful lyrics but because of the voice. truly one of the most alluring voices ive ever heard, combined with the lyrics and im on the floor curled in a ball

[@kat0radd]

Remind me I was here when she is up there getting a Grammy!

[@wissal-p6w]

Same !

[@Loveueveryone]

Me to (≧◡≦)

[@vincentmerrill825]

Fr and same

[@CelaenaSardothien-zy9zd]

count me in!❤

[@filipino_juice_]

fuck yeah

[@kaityd8254]

Would pay crazy money to watch this in a movie theater with surround sound on a loop for an hour 🧎🏻‍♀️

[@mossygirl300]

Kinda intense but okay! Lol

[@alanna7237]

You get me.

[@bvdnolimit2007]

Same here, same here

[@YoursTruly006]

omg same

[@stinkyfish_0]

i want this version on spotify 😭😭

[@__em6866__]

REALLL

[@PixelKing548]

The last time I was blown away by an artist's vocals and rare talent was when I first heard Lana Del Rey. And here I am a decade later and I got the same chills with Gigi when I discover her through this song. Rare talent.

[@DanielBoonelight]

madison cunningham, my brightest diamond, theo katzman, caleb hawley, lau noah, lake street dive, jensen mcrae, maro, lianne la havas.... there are *soo* many great contemporary voices if you dive on in...

[@jasperobst2474]

Listen to little blue mahogany session Jacob collier! Amazing ! Gigi is incredible

[@Assassinsclvb]

I agree 1000 percent. Same boat

[@ikramsdigitaldiary]

U can’t imagine how much I love Gigi’s voice ,like the raspiness just adds so much more into the song and her WRITTTTING OH GOD IM descending to heaven rn

[@sarthaQMC]

That voice is indifferent... Can't describe how much I love it

[@williamholmes4515]

Some people hear this.. others feel it. ❤

[@danielle0624]

I had to watch a live video to understand how this is a woman singing and it’s still so hard to believe that her voice can be so similar to a male indie artist! The type of technique she uses to make her voice sound like that seems like it would be either really difficult to learn or just comes naturally to her. I’d love to talk to her about it and know if she had professional training to have that much power and control over her voice, it’s absolutely amazing and so beautiful!!

[@andreiduenas2421]

the professional playing of the guitar is so good 😭

[@atlasucks]

Professional?

[@rjt2000___]

I don't know how I've lived 24 years without this sound

[@0n3_Ch1ll_P1ll]

The most gorgeous song I've heard all year.

[@surowe_jajo]

there’s something in this song that always leaves me speechless. i love this song

[@Kanitro]

[ Lyrics ] I saw her in the rightest way Looking like Anne Hathaway Laughing while she hit her pen And coughed, and coughed And then, she came up to my knees Begging, baby, would you please? Do the things you said you'd do to me, to me Oh, won't you kiss me on the mouth and love me like a sailor? And when you get a taste, can you tell me what's my flavor? I don't believe in God, but I believe that you're my savior My mom says that she's worried, but I'm covered in this favor And when we're getting dirty, I forget all that is wrong I sleep so I can see you 'cause I hate to wait so long I sleep so I can see you and I hate to wait so long She took my fingers to her mouth The kind of thing that makes you proud That nothing else had ever Worked out, worked out And lately, I've tried other things But nothing can capture the sting Of the venom she's gonna spit out right now Oh, won't you kiss me on the mouth and love me like a sailor? When you get a taste, can you tell me what's my flavor? I don't believe in God, but I believe that you're my savior I know that you've been worried, but you're dripping in my favor And when we're getting dirty, I forget all that is wrong I sleep so I can see you 'cause I hate to wait so long I sleep so that I can see you and I hate to wait so long We can run away to the walls inside your house I can be the cat, baby, you can be the mouse We can laugh off things that we know nothing about We can go forever until you wanna sit it out

[@khinprincess1100]

Thxxx it rlly helped !!❤

[@Hastifaizzz]

Her voice is so powerful😍😍

[@hailee.p]

Love how she puts her whole heart and soul into her music. Beautiful

[@Wavesforwishes]

Gosh, her voice is so unbelievingly beautiful

[@hughthompson4846]

Best song of 2024 by a longshot. Going to be looking back on this one as the soundtrack of my late teens

[@klarakriston]

this song has such a nostalgic feel, makes me think of the good parts of the past

[@Raelviews]

A pleasure to see an artist in raw form 😄🤗👏🏾

[@nathan8966]

[@amiragabdullina2083]

i’m crying, that’s beautiful

[@soup4220]

[@mariesxa7280]

[@iashzxx6277]

Wow, just wow. This is raw talent and I can’t wait to come back to this classic every year!

[@ChrisTNB]

[@nai-ts13ga21]

[@gu3874]

Incredible song.

[@lxllisvfx]

i just got literal chills omfg

[@timtam9758]

literally same, had literal goosebumps

[@ar_tret]

Шикарное исполнение!! Песня понравилась с первых аккордов. Спасибо за Ваш чудеснейший труд ❤ А Ваш голос заслуживает отдельного восхищения и восторга! Волевой, сильный и уникальный, голосящий в самую душу. Мне понравилось исполнение что здесь, что в песне. Хотя, конечно, "сырой" вариант, что представлен в этом видео, более эмоциональный, и в этом есть своё очарование. Но не могу выделить, какая версия нравится больше... Обе великолепны! Ещё раз спасибо большое за такую песню ❤

[@xplrsias]

2024 nostalgia will hit so hard i LOVE THIS SONG

[@Believinabel]

So good live! Wow! Magic just pure magic!

[@Apricot-nl5ue]

Is it just me or would a mashup of sailor song and evergreen be a literal masterpiece (this song already is though)

[@makayansebring4640]

She's amazing 👏

[@BrooklynAndEvelyn]

This is insane

[@KoalaAnimatz]

[@clutterlilly]

[@DanielBoonelight]

[@kvszt]

Душевно ♥

[@huntingnewsom]

I paid for KZbin premium so I could just listen to this song nonstop while driving. 😅

[@rachna_srivastava17]

Why are we failing her as an artist, she is fking amazing, MORE EXPOSURE RN

[@TheTruthBeyondMaya]

❤

[@baeyuh]

ily

[@Emmanuel-y4z9b]

Holy shit this sounds incredible

[@st4r.light16]

shes so underrated

[@_sparkkie_]

No not really 😭

[@TaintedTownMusic]

It defintely has EQ on the studio version which makes it sound more masculine

[@davejsy1]

OMG is this seriously the same person from the original song? This is soooo much better, her voice is just amazing. Why would you ever want to sanitise it like they have on the single?

[@wolfmassey]

She wanted it to sound more androgynous. Obviously gay songs don't sell as well. I love both versions

[@JudMeyer]

I’m the 100th conment😂

[@ConnorLynxx]

the mic was ON

[@jj-vj1fv]

oh wow she is a lady

[@mayrockii6802]

Pretty sure I am all 9k views so far haha.

[@Half_eatan_burger]

Ima give you a choice who’s the best pop girly ? Out of Melanie Martinez Gigi Perez Sabrina carpenter Taylor swift Olivia Rodrigo Gracie abrams or Charlie xcx❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ I love all of them but my favorite is Melanie Martinez ❤️

[@rLxJake]

This dude can sing.

[@ThePled9e]

Opening is giving me Jeff Buckley vibes ❤

[@feathered_fang]

One of the most beautiful lesbian songs ❤

[@hfjonebiggestfan]

This is so sigma

[@_sparkkie_]

Real

[@Ilovecows-l5j]

I thought she was a boy
