Produces everything herself and mixes it deliberately too loud

lyrics

Volume warning, volume warning
I mixed it too loud and I am not fixing it
Volume warning, volume warning
If it hurts a little bit then it is working

A man from the label sent me a document about loudness
Eleven pages about the standards for streaming platforms
And I read all eleven pages, which is more than he expected
And then I made it louder, which is exactly what he expected

Volume warning, volume warning
I mixed it too loud and I am not fixing it
Volume warning, volume warning
If it hurts a little bit then it is working

(too loud, too loud, too—)

Everything I like has been made by somebody who did not ask
I have never once heard a great record that was polite

Volume warning, volume warning
I mixed it too loud and I am not fixing it
Volume warning, volume warning
If it hurts a little bit then it is working

(too—)
