Todrick Hall - You Unfollowed Me (Commentary) lyrics

Ok, so "You Unfollowed Me" was one of the most unique situations ever because I gotta be honest with you: this is probably the fastest I've ever written a song in my entire life. The producers were like "Hey, we need 'You Unfollowed Me' in the morning," and I was like, "Holy crap," but I had to go to the studio and I had to write this entire song in one night. And the inspiration from this song came because while we were on tour, I decided that I was following way too many people. My friends would, like, literally get pregnant, have the child, and the child would be, like, in second grade and I never knew that they were ever pregnant because I had so many people on my timeline that I couldn't see my real friends. So I decided "I'm just gonna unfollow everyone" because no one can get offended if I unfollow everyone—except for Beyoncé because why would I do that? And so I unfollowed everyone. Well, the Toddlers went crazy. They were all writing, like "This is the Great Unfollowing; how could you do this to us?" Everyone was so confused. And I started realizing the power and impact that Twitter and Instagram and all these social media sites have on the kids today. And so I decided to write a song about two girls that just go ballistic because the guys that they think that they're in love with unfollow them. And it was just a hilarious concept and I'm so glad that I got to sing it with Joseph Gordon-Levitt. He came in and completely loved the song, completely owned it. He's such a true actor. He didn't go into the studio timid at all. He walked in and completely started singing at a 10. Like, I just love that and I learned so much from watching him because the real professionals walk in and they're like "I BUST THE WINDOWS OUT YOUR CAR!" Like, just, he was just screaming all of a sudden. Sorry if I busted the eardrums out your ears when I just sang that, but that's what he did when he came in there. And so now every time I go to the studio I say "what would Joseph Gordon-Levitt do?" and I sing at a 10 when I get there. So not only did I write a song in record-breaking time and get to work with one of my favorite actors in the entire world, but I learned a very valuable lesson about how you should go into the studio and how you should approach every single aspect of your life. And for that I have no one to thank but the song "You Unfollowed Me."
