Hot Issue

from Sinner by Kevin Coem

/

about

This dance-pop track somehow feels like the kind of song you’d hear in a clothing store, and that’s the exact type of sound I was aiming for because I love that kind of music. It was also influenced by music from the 80s and 90s with a modern feel to it through the use of contemporary synthesized bass instruments.

Although “gluttony” is the sin I based this song on, the lyrics don’t talk about someone who eats or drinks too much, but about someone with an actual eating disorder. I think writing such deep lyrics over a catchy pop instrumental was a bit of a risky choice, but it was my choice after all so I’m happy about it. Besides, I didn’t want to miss the chance to raise some awareness about the fact that, sometimes, people who struggle with some issues act like they’re perfectly okay and hide their worries behind a rehearsed confidence. That’s the message I wanted to share through this song: to not take others for granted even if everything seems to be ok.

lyrics

I wanna be myself but is that good enough?
It's crazy but I'm freak-freak-freaking out
Still losing my way, running on the edge
While I pretend it feels so fucking great

You can call me up all night
Only you can make it right
Promise I'll just take one bite
I'm spinning out of control
Wake me up when it's all over

Don't you know? Don't you know who I am?
Don't you know? Don't you know?
I'm the hot issue
Don't you know? Don't you know who I am?
Don't you know...

Oh, don't you know that I'm the hot issue
I keep on saying I'm the hot issue
I'm still pretending I'm the hot issue
My lies are becoming endless
I'm always spending restless nights

Ah ah ah, ah ah ah, ah ah ah
I'm the hot issue
Ah ah ah, ah ah ah, ah ah ah
I'm the hot issue

Think you can save me?
Think you can make it all okay?
Keep trying, keep trying
'Cause you can't figure me out

Think you can just come
And turn this whole thing round now?
Keep trying, keep trying, keep trying

Bring on the flavor, bring that shit on
I wanna have some me time right now
I love me? I guess so?
But me wants some queso

I'm playing it cool like I don't care
But I'm losing it so bad I can't just hide it
Pretending that I'm okay
(I only wanna eat all day)

Oh, don't you know that I'm the hot issue
I keep on saying I'm the hot issue
I'm still pretending I'm the hot issue
My lies are becoming endless
I'm always spending restless nights

Ah ah ah, ah ah ah, ah ah ah
I'm the hot issue
Ah ah ah, ah ah ah, ah ah ah
I'm the hot issue

Don't you know? Don't you know who I am?
Don't you know? Don't you know?
I'm the hot issue

Don't you know? Don't you know who I am?
Don't you know? Don't you know?
I'm the hot issue
