Unknown Mortal Orchestra - First World Problem (Official Audio)

"First World Problem" by Unknown Mortal Orchestra
Artwork by Henrietta Harris
Lyrics:
When I woke
I found my phone in the bed clothes
and the curtain glowed crimson through the window
To think of her was to want her
Would you want me too?
She's got it all and yet
She's betting all she has on a first world problem
You've got to understand
That I could be your man or a first world problem
I know that I was better as a loser
She's eating birthday cake inside the disco
I may be lost but I'm a lost man
In love with you
She's got it all and yet
She's betting all she has on a first world problem
You've got to understand
That I could be your man or a first world problem

Hearing this for the first time and it's awesome! 😎👍🏾

[@orall]

Wow - Prince isn't dead after all! sounds like one of his old side band projects.

[@mart3h]

Why do the lyrics say: "She's got it all and yet She's betting all she has on a first world problem You've got to understand That I could be your man or a first world problem" When it's quite clearly: "You've got it all and yet You're betting all you have on a first world problem You've got to understand That I could be your man or a first world problem" ? Weird.

[@helsinki4]

It's a pure dance track....

[@jewman4]

Dope!

[@austint.7771]

I was kind of disappointed after hearing the big intro. Really repetitive with only one actual verse. Interested to see what's next though!

[@camilocardenas8688]

Cool, do your own song.

[@avishaidadon237]

Some of their songs are meant to be more catchy and some are more meaningful

[@jonathanbirkel85]

Why should "repetitive" be such a bad thing? Let's not forget How Can You Luv Me, guys...

[@jonathanbirkel85]

Or, you know, Ffunny Ffrends. The very song that brought UMO into existence. Probably a good 70% of it is one (extremely tasty) melody over and over. Let Ruban do whatever brilliant things he wants, however repetitively he wants.

[@BloodIncantationTab]

that chorus is so catchy

[@benhuffman4404]

it is. I love it

[@nicholasxee9597]

Yip fo sho!

[@blodwynswayze1531]

Prince vibes

[@darrennorton36]

always thought that with these guys but if you are going to be influenced be influenced by the best!

[@blodwynswayze1531]

Amen to that!

[@DanielDeAries]

Senti o mesmo.

[@johndoe3964]

Dude I fucking thought it unreleased Prince.

[@Freethought73]

Yo, I heard that right away myself......

[@camilamenezes6546]

the only repetition here is me playing this over and over again because it's fucking great y'all stop being annoying

[@coffycup75]

This comment a billion times.

[@a.robinson2779]

Preach

[@tomas-ol7xg]

LITERALLY ME. it’s always. I mean ALWAYS. on repeat

[@jjnwf]

Dig it. Anyone else hearing Toro y Moi in this?

[@joshpat6479]

I hope this change in sound (from indie lofi rock to electronic dance-ish style) doesn't have a bad effect on the rest of their new album. This wasn't what I was expecting but It could grow on me. I felt the same way the Tame Impala's currents, like questioning the change in style but that turned out to be amazing. hope the same happens with UMO new record.

[@dawnkazzim7207]

Josh Pat they started out with weird 60s style rock-my favourite , and went on to more 70s pop melody style sounds, while still retaining their old sound, the they made the transition to more 80s instrumentation based psychedelic synth rnb. they said themselves that first world problem was something written from their current head space at the time, and we now have the more 90s kurt cobain style edgy raw gituar that we can hear in American guilt and will most likely be more prominent in their new album sex and food. Personally I love anything unknown mortal orchestra do and im super pumped for their new album!

[@estudiosfolkloreiberoamericano]

it sounds like it wasn't masterized correctly who think the same?

[@absalom38]

anyone else see that the artwork is the first world problem meme

[@jonathanhackett3405]

No, it's just a man crying.

[@christine5055]

george lynes Yeah, now that you mention it! - I had the feeling I had seen that picture before... The artwork sort of interprets the meme in a new way - so cool!

[@PedroPetracco]

Wow! I hadn't Noticed it.

[@susanfinch5896]

I thought it sounded like a Prince back in the day track ..love it 😍😍😍

[@tomas-ol7xg]

Got any songs where prince sounds like this?

[@ddfcflop]

BBC Radio 1 #hottestrecord 25th May 2016

[@Freethought73]

Unknown Mortal Orchestra doing a PRINCE cover....

[@nicholasxee9597]

On the radio I thought the lyrics were "You got ta understand, I can be your man, but I got a lotta mental problem"🤷‍♂️

[@spinkicker27]

This song is really good but why too many repetitive chorus. Need more interlude/guitar solo/riff

[@camilocardenas8688]

Cool, do your own song.

[@spinkicker27]

+Abril Smith I can't

[@TrollJohnSmith]

what, are you now only allowed to praise things? come on

[@davidc4228]

Critics are like eunuchs. They think they know how it's done, but they lack the balls to do it themselves.

[@benjybumbrix7611]

Ilham Maulana gave constructive criticism. He's allowed an opinion. You defend and imply that this song is good, you're actually being a critic yourself. so seeing as you're eager towards wanting a critic to go on a mission and produce a song, and seeing as you know what makes a good song perhaps you should reflect on your own words of advice and go make one? You got the balls right? or you don't actually mean what you said?

[@Biddlemon13]

im super excited if this psych soaked disco pop is where the new album is heading

[@Apathist1408]

Are they already releasing a new album?

[@gedemartha9534]

Just a single xD

[@louisebarton7835]

Brilliant song reminds me of Everton winning the league in the 80s

[@NeechOne]

This is so ill.

[@pzfilmer]

[@giulle23]

[@cassrittenhouse1438]

[@uppercastra3610]

'spect! Monster toon

[@andrewwhittle7772]

Love it😀

[@fabiotestatube]

The Radio BBC 6 music plays all day long at work. I listened to “First World Problem” and said: That song’s weird, man. They’re aiming at Prince and ended up hitting Milli Vanilli, with that annoying and repetitive chorus. I was very disappointed when I knew that it was Unknown Mortal Orchestra. Obviously, I have to listen to the full album so I can understand their new moment and I understand their will to produce something different and explore a new territory, but this song just sounded a bit odd to me :(

[@XSXSXSXSXSXSXSXSXSXSXSXSXSXSXS]

ITS ALMOST LIKE THEY WERE TRYING TO WRITE A CATCHY POP SONG. That chorus gets in my head all the time. This is music science people. It repeats for a reason.
