Let me just say: I must have good taste in people, because I’ve never been disappointed by a crush’s Spotify.

In a climate where mainstream pop music has become either corporate and soulless or too sad and self-flagellating, it’s incredibly refreshing to see someone so in their element, singing songs about drugs, gay sex, love, and partying.

Whether or not you think that girl in red is cringe or tacky, remember that you used to have a girl in red in your life. If you still resonate with the song, more power to you, and I hope your love life doesn’t end like track three.
