Vào ngày 21.6. 2024, sau khi đã comeback thành công với lead single vô cùng bùng nổ mang tên "Risk", cô nàng Gracie Abrams đã chính thức cho ra mắt album phòng thu thứ 2 của mình mang tên "The secret of us". "Blowing smoke" là track thứ 3 nằm trong 13 ca khúc của album này. Nội dung bài hát khắc họa cuộc đấu tranh nội tâm khi phải vượt qua một mối quan hệ trong khi vật lộn với cảm giác ghen tuông và sự hiện diện ám ảnh của mối quan tâm lãng mạn mới của người yêu cũ. Tuy ca khúc mang âm hưởng pop, thế nhưng đây lại là một bản ballad buồn. Và việc thể hiện bài hát trên giai điệu nhanh, dồn dập như thế đã chứng tỏ được phần nào sự vật lộn, đấu tranh trong tư tưởng của cô nàng. Hãy cùng mình lắng nghe và thưởng thức ca khúc tuyệt vời này nhé.


Lời bài hát:

[Verse 1]

I cut the rope and you fell from the tower

I let it go for my peace of mind

Bit the bullet, it didn't hurt

But I still hate the image of you kissing her

I chalk it up to "it's all for the better"

[Pre-Chorus]And I bet you're at her place right now

You're taking off your shoes, she's lying down

[Chorus]Tell me, is she prettier than she was on the internet?

Are your conversations cool? Like, are you even interested?

I know what you arе, brighter than the stars

Tell mе if she takes you far

Far enough away from all the baggage you've been carrying

Up another hill to all the girls who'll help you bury it

They're just blowing smoke

I'll say what they won't

I know everything they don't

[Verse 2]

I hear your voice like a boom in my tower

I sleep alone, I'm completely fine (Mm)

And you look stupid going out

If she's got a pulse, she meets your standards now

You feel nothing, and yet you still let her

[Pre-Chorus]But I bet you're at her place right now

You couldn't point her out in any crowd

[Chorus]Tell me, is she prettier than she was on the internet?

Are your conversations cool? Like, are you even interested?

I know what you are, brighter than the stars

Tell me if she takes you far

Far enough away from all the baggage you've been carrying

Up another hill to all the girls who'll help you bury it

They're just blowing smoke

I'll say what they won't

I know everything they don't

[Bridge]And I find your books pretentious now

At the time, they'd fed the fantasy

I was so impressed at your hotel

Took a drag and read aloud to me

And you knew my last love let me down

It was your one perfect opening

And I bet you think about me now

When you should be sleeping

[Chorus]But tell me, is she prettier than she was on the internet?

Are your conversations cool? Like, are you even interested?

I know what you are, brighter than the stars

Tell me if she takes you far

Far enough away from all the baggage you've been carrying

Up another hill to all the girls who'll help you bury it

They're just blowing smoke (Smoke)

I'll say what they won't (Won't)

I know everything (Thing) they don't (Don't)

(Hey, hey, hey)

[Outro]And I know, I know, I know, I know

And I know, I know, I- (Hey, hey, hey, hey)

And I know, I know, I know, I know

And I know, I- (Hey, hey, hey, hey)

And I know, I know, I know, I know

And I know, I know, I- (Hey, hey, hey)

And I know, I know, I know, I know

And I know, I-
