How to Format Lyrics:

• Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
• Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
• Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
• Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
• If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

Y2K’s versatile production skills are exhibited in “Lalala,” which features a hypnotic guitar that resembles a South American-esque melody. This is further seen in the hook of the song, where bbno$ accompanies this with his flow.

The song was originally previewed during the Austin show of bbno$’s North American tour in late 2018, but there was no accompanying information.

bbno$ had dropped singles on 4 of the 5 Fridays preceding this track’s release (only not dropping on the 31st May 2019, possibly due to his feature dropping on Yung Gravy’s Sensational).

The release of this track happened to coincide with the date of bbno$’s graduation ceremony from the University of British Columbia.

“Lalala” was the center of a viral marketing campaign by bbno$, turning the phrase Lalala June 7th into a meme. The meme began with an Instagram story from bbno$, on which he posted solely the aforementioned phrase. Hype built up quickly, utilizing bbno$’s affiliation with Instagram meme pages (notably @analucifer and @bigbreadboys) to present it to a wider audience. The reception was unprecedented. One fan even went to the extent to write the phrase on the hood of their car, while another cracked a glass jar over his head in the name of the song’s release. bbno$ also released a short skit with Instagram page 1MinuteTalkShow to promote the song’s release.

This song features the producer Y2K, who has worked with bbno$ on his album recess, in songs such as “thankful” and “stucco.”

bbno$: I remember, the day we made this song, I sat down and Ari has a little couch, and that couch is messed up from another rapper. I was moving to the left and all I said to Ari, I was like, “Cardi B, I like it like that.” And you know, he started playing at riff. I started going, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah. And we both turned at each other and kind of just made a hit I guess.

Ari: It’s funny cause he had never sang a song before that day. This was literally the first time that he had ever tried singing on a song. And so, I think he was sing rapping another’s on kind of. I was like, “Oh yeah, you have good tone.” Which you can’t recreate. You can fix pitch and all that, but you can’t fix tone. And so it was kind of an interesting situation. Just first time you ever singing on a track just turned out insane.

bbno$: It was really funny too. Cause usually when I come up with melodies, when I’m making music, I always genuinely forget it and I’m like, “Fuck. My god. Like come on.” So I ended up getting in the booth and literally the take pretty much right before we made the, the full hook was, “Yo. Did I really forget that melody?” And then I heard him in the back, he was like, “Nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah.” And then it just went into the hook and, it just worked. It’s funny cause I just that, that sentence kind of went viral. I just played this song in Edmonton, Canada.
