We're just trying to release as much as possible and all these new songs are like so us. Like, it's it's It's very authentic this time. Yeah. Right, right. Yeah. One of the things that like makes me excited. It's not it's not songs that are like, you know, cuz we we make a lot of music, but like sometimes we're always like looking for like, oh, that one that's going to supposed to work. But like these ones I feel like are all just ones that feel good. Like when we listen to and we actually like saying real stuff. Like, yeah, like every song we're actually talking about like either something that's happened or we just our lives. We got bars in them like low-key bars. Yeah.

Young Hollywood

Well, I was going to ask, do you guys feel different when you're releasing something like this where you feel like you put your heart into it, right? So you would agree for sure then.

PRETTYMUCH Talk Dating Advice

I'm proud of it. Yeah, for sure. And also too is you want to to to tell the story. You know what I mean? And when you and when you like for instance, we did Genius with um for Phases the other day and it was just nice to be able to explain the process from top to bottom, like remembering where we were and even down to like listening to the song once it was out on um like Apple Music and Spotify, just reminiscing on like when we used to just play the song, be hyped with it with our friends before it was released. Just all those things which are really fun.

Young Hollywood

I do want to get into some dating advice because I feel like you guys would be really good at it. Oh, basically. Okay. So here we go. We're going to start. Do you guys believe in love at first sight?

PRETTYMUCH Talk Dating Advice

Nope. Nah. Nah, nah, nah. Yeah. I'm going to say yeah, but like not every not everybody's going to have love at first sight, but I think it's definitely. I I believe in like love in first day. Like Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like, you know, you see that person, you hang out with that person for the day and then you're like, okay, I do love her. Yeah, you know. Cuz you can't just look at somebody be like, I'm in love. You don't know that person. The definition of love at first sight is seeing someone you think is so like attractive like the perfect person physically is love at first sight. So you're not really loving them, you love what they look like. That's true. Exactly. I think you just That's it. That's it. This is as good as water is wet.

Young Hollywood

Okay. What do you guys do when you're ghosted by someone you really like?

PRETTYMUCH Talk Dating Advice

You put yourself in the friend zone so she expects nothing and then you just slowly prove yourself. yourself worthy. It's almost how I ghosted them, like. Because she's ghosting you, it's probably because she's like, oh, I don't want you coming at me. Like, oh no, we're just friends. Actually, no, this is what you were thinking? Come on, man. I'm sane. That's facts. You feel me? No, but also I actually do this, like, if I mean, I don't really text that much, but if I do like if someone is ghosting me, I'll like start putting on like my story like like stuff of me having a good time. Be like, oh yeah, I'm I'm busy. I'm chilling. I'm doing well. But I'm Okay, fair enough.

Young Hollywood

Next one. What do you do when you have feelings for a friend and worry it'll ruin the friendship?

PRETTYMUCH Talk Dating Advice

Love it for what it is and don't don't over complicate it. Like if you know it's going to if you know it's going to make it worse, like then don't put a label on it. Just enjoy spending time together. I think that's like the healthiest kind of relationship, honestly. When like you have like a best friend and they just like you just enjoy hanging out with them, so don't like don't try to get all like, I don't know, over complicate In your head about. I like that. Also, I I think like if you really are close friends, eventually it will turn into something like that. But if you guys just keep, you know, keep keep it moving. But at the same time, like if you're going to do that, you shouldn't like say something with expectation. Like don't like expect them to be like, oh, like this is a feeling. Just, you know, tell them how you're feeling, but understand Yeah, she can say no or say yes.

Young Hollywood

The last one, guys. Um, what do you do when you screenshot a conversation, you send it back to that same person on accident?

PRETTYMUCH Talk Dating Advice

I'll just tell them exactly what happened. I screenshotted it and sent it to you on accident. Got to own up to it, right? Well, I mean, like first of all, like, what are you doing screenshotting the text in the first place? Like, who are you showing? I screenshot I just realized, like, oh, that's true, but if it's like with a girl and you have a conversation, yo, I should be. Honestly, that's. No, it's probably. I mean, unless you're showing, if you know it's something like what it was a good thing and you're like showing your friend like, oh look what she says. That's a different story. Like, okay, go go ahead. But if you're screenshotting to like cuz you're up to no good. Yeah, it depends on what you screenshot it. Cuz if she said something dumb or if he said something dumb and you screenshot it, then you know obviously you sent it to somebody else. But if it said something nice and you're like, oh, I just want to show my friend what nice thing you said to me. Just be honest. Be honest. That's the good policy, right? Honestly, I think that honesty is key. Yeah. Honestly, I think that honesty is key.
