(jingle) What's up Young Hollywood? Asher Angel here. And I'm here to spill the tea behind my tune: Chills. (orchestral music) Let's all open up some tea, ladies and gentlemen! (wrapper pops) Very exiting. Here we go. C'mon, little guy! There he is. Very exciting. Okay. I definitely know what I'm doing. That look right? I think that looks right. I'm killing it, already. All right! (tea pouring) Ah, yeah! Look at that. It's beauty. (sniffing) It's warm! Probably will give me chills! Hey, guys. So, Chills is about a past relationship. And you know you have that one person in your life where you're never really able to get over them and you still have feelings for them.

And they basically give you chills. And you want them in your life and you want them back. So, everyone really gets that feeling sometimes. 'Cause you got that person, that one true love. You know what I'm saying? Why am I using a spoon? So, that's Chills for you. ♪ I still get chills ♪ ♪ If my heart could rewind ♪ ♪ Then I look at the sign ♪ ♪ When I know you were mine ♪ (funky music) If my heart could rewind. I would look at the sign. When I knew you we're mine. If I could go back in time, I would start all over again. And I would want to be with you. If I looked at all the signs that you were giving me, I would do it again. And I would fix it. That's the tea.

I do believe in signs in a relationship, yes. There's signs all the time. And you gotta listen to those signs. 'Cause if you don't, you could end up hurting the girl. You don't wanna do that. The girl's your priority. It's a real tea, here, ladies and gentlemen. If you're in a relationship with a really awesome girl, like me, Annie. If was in a relationship with Annie and I was doing something wrong. And she was telling me how to fix it and I didn't really fix it. Then therefore, I would end up hurting her and she would not like that, so it could end up really bad. Don't want that. No, no. Do I believe in love at first sight? I do. I do, a lot of my friends don't. But I think it's weird.

Like, if you meet the love of your life. You know immediately. Like all those movies where they have the slow motion. (mimics romantic tune) And then you look at that person and they're in love. So, I do believe in love at first sight. I think that's a real thing. This poor tea. ♪ Hard to know if I'm too late ♪ ♪ To make it right, to make it worse ♪ (hip hop beat) So it's basically when you're trying to apologize and... It's a little late for the apology and it should have came sooner. So, I dunno if she's really able to accept it. Yeah. Timing has never stopped me from doing anything. I don't believe in timing. I actually think it's better if it's not the right time.

Because, you know, it's never really the right time, actually. Just happens. I do hold onto hope. Even if the odds are against me. I think hope's one of the biggest things. It's keeping you from doing something wrong or doing something bad. I dunno why I keep playing with this. It's distracting me. Okay, I'm in it. ♪ I still get chills ♪ ♪ Over me, over you ♪ ♪ We were one, now we two ♪ ♪ I can't lie, it's the truth ♪ ♪ I still get chills ♪ (hip hop beats) Over me, over you. We were one, now we two. I can't lie. It's the truth. I still get chills. That lyric there is basically... It's kinda the same thing. I'm sorry for what I did. We were one, but now we're two. And I want you back.

And I need you in my life. You can't go one without me. And I'm here. You still give me chills, baby. The best remedy for a breakup? Time! I think time is the best remedy for a breakup. Yeah. I had it there. It just took a really long time. It's my tea. I gotta get to drinking my tea. ♪ What we did, how we do ♪ ♪ Hell and back, we went through ♪ (trance music) What we did, how we do. Hell and back, we went through. I can't lie it's the truth. I still get chills. It's what we did. What we did wrong. Where'd it start going wrong? We just went through hell. And I don't understand how we did it. And I want it to get better. It needs to get better. You still give me chills.

Everything went wrong, but I still didn't lose feelings for you. I am always the one who apologizes first, in an argument. I'm the bigger man. But no, I think it's the better thing to do. I'm just... I like apologizing. You always wanna apologize, I feel like. To the girl or the guy. You always apologize if you're the guy. Always. In any circumstance. It's just what you do. If I could collaborate with any artist, it would be... Justin Bieber, Khalid, and... Chris Brown. I love Justin Bieber's new song, Yummy. I was waiting for it to drop. I was watching a movie. And I had to leave the movie theater because I wanted to hear the song. So I went outside, listened to it. I was like "Yes! Yummy!"

But then it took me so long to go back into the theater because I couldn't stop wanting to listen to it again. It was bad. What gives me chills? Cold weather, certain foods, tea, relationships, everything. (laughs) If I could DM any celebrity, it would probably be Lebron James. I would say "How are you so good?" And he would tell me how's he's so good and then I would know. And then I'd be that good. (snickers) Like that's how it works. If you guys didn't know. If I would DM Justin Bieber, I would say "You're the biggest inspiration to me. And I love your music and I love your new song. And let's be best friends. And let's play basketball. Together." Basketball buddies.

If I could listen to one song on repeat it would be ♪ Yeah, I got that yummy yummy yummy yum. ♪ ♪ Bona fied stallion ♪ Okay, that's a lot. Justin Bieber, hands down. (whoosh)
