(chimes) (upbeat hip hop music) Hey guys, I'm Maggie Lindemann, and this is Lipstick N' Lyrics with my song, Friends Go. (upbeat hip hop music) Friends Go, where did all my friends go, it's literally about being engulfed into this relationship, whether it's with a person, an object, a substance, whatever it is, being so engulfed into this, that you're kinda forgetting about your friends, putting them to the side and not listening to them, and you just don't care. So as a result, your friends literally go, they leave you, and that's how we got Where Did All My Friends Go. The original Friends Go, it was actually really quick.

I think that's like the quickest song I've ever recorded and done a lot. And then with the Travis version, when I went into the studio with Travis, that was pretty crazy. Just seeing him in his element, it was just so effortless and perfect. I was just so amazed by that. I mean, Travis Barker, yeah he's iconic, it was just such a surreal moment for me. He brought so much energy and life into the track before it had kind of this... It was a little bit more chill, and now it has this super-uptempo, crazy-rock vibe, which I'm in love with. I just love rock music, and he really brought that to it. So I think it's amazing, and he really did it.

Could spend the whole night talking to you, even if I was the only one talking. Honestly, I could stay up talking to a lot of people. I'm a very chatty person once you get me going, so I could definitely stay up all night talking to a lot of people, but I stay up a lot with my roommate, Ricky, and my best friend. We watch a lotta movies, we have a lotta movie nights, so after the movie we'll like dissect everything, and just talk about it for hours, and then just get into this wormhole of different scary movies, and stuff like that. Usually the best songs for me come when I'm in the studio, with just a good group of people that understand the vision and what I'm going for.

Just when we're talking, I think that's the best. 'Cause sometimes I'll go in, and it's like more of me just saying what's going on in my life, just like it's bullet points, rather than just talking and having a story. And I think that that's when the best songs come to life, when I'm just having fun and it's like normal. White jacket, white pills, told me I would feel better. White jacket, white pills. So white jacket is like a straitjacket, and then white pills is supposed to symbolize whatever type of medicine you're on, is what it was supposed to symbolize. That getting rid of this person.

The best remedy for a heartbreak, I think, is definitely surrounding yourself with good people, surrounding yourself with your friends, and just positive energy. Whether that for you is just staying home and watching movies, or going out and partying, just whatever gets you through it, honestly. My favorite part about making music is just getting all my sadness out, or happiness out, or whatever I'm feeling. I'm really able to just let that go through music, and it's really therapeutic so it's really helpful. Nobody gets me the way that you get me, they just keep on saying you're imaginary.

Basically about being with someone and they say they get you, and your friends don't really understand it, because maybe this person's not good for you, and you're just trying to make everyone understand. That one's hard, because if my gut tells me something, and my friends tell me something else, it makes me question it. But I try to listen to both, equally. Like if my gut's telling me to be with this person, but my friends are telling me not to, I try to give the person a chance still. But, you know, too many strikes and you're out. My gut usually tells me correct things, but I feel like I don't really listen to my gut, I'm listening to my heart. So, I don't know...

I listen to the wrong things a lot. 'Cause if you're only in my head, I don't wanna get outta bed. I do hold onto things inside my head. Yeah, I think a lot. I am a daydreamer. I daydream a lot. I romanticize situations a lot, how I hope it's gonna go, just stuff like that. And I just blow things completely outta proportion that's not gonna happen but... I do believe in manifesting things. I'm a big believer in manifesting. I think that if you put something out into the atmosphere, and into the world, then it's definitely gonna come back to you. So be careful with what you manifest. I like to dress dark, kinda '90s era, like grunge, I guess you could say.

And I would say that kind of correlates with my music, because I talk about dark things in my music sometimes, and I try to keep it real in my music. I guess that's, I don't know, kinda where it is. Now I'm all by myself, where did all my friends go? I think that a lotta the times you can find comfort in being alone, but I particularly like being around people a lot. So, like just my friends, or my boyfriend, or whatever it is, I just like to be around people. I think it makes me feel better. It's super important to me to have a close group of friends. I think that if you don't have a close group of friends, you can be guided the wrong way, or you can just not do always like the right thing.

I think having the right group of friends around you at all times is just really helpful. I look back on this song a lot, because I sometimes have a hard time with balancing things. So I look at the song as kind of a reminder to balance things. I think I've definitely been in the situation before, where I've been with someone that's a little unhealthy for me, and my friends tried to let me know, but they got me like no one else got me, so I stayed.
