Shameless 02:03
Every word you said Paints pictures in my head Your fingers on my spine Can be so paralyzing Tell me, where your heart at? Tell me, when you let it go? Baby, where you been at? I need to know So used to you holding me Now you’ve gone and left a hole So tell me is it over? I just need to know Everyone acts like you’re famous Act like the pressure is painless Act like your actions are shameless Ashamed, yes Oh oh oh oh Shameless (shameless) Shameless (shameless) I hate this (I hate this) It’s late now, come home Kissing you is cold I am hard to hold Tiny butterflies Are in my stomach, dying So when it’s over, let me know Don’t hold me, to let go Won’t act like, it’s OK No games, no games Tell me, where your heart at? Tell me, when you let it go? Baby, where you been at? I need to know So used to you holding me Now you’ve gone and left a hole So tell me is it over? I just need to know Everyone acts like you’re famous Act like the pressure is painless Act like your actions are shameless Ashamed, yes Oh oh oh oh Shameless (shameless) Shameless (shameless) I hate this (I hate this) It’s late now, come home It’s late now, come home I was born in love... Disappear in love...

Costs A Lot 03:08
I don’t need no therapy Talkin won’t do it for me I just wanna find a way to feel Try so hard to keep it tame On the weekend I just fade away Run and hide and find a place to play Say you want what’s best for me You don’t know what’s best for me They keep saying love is free But it sure feels like it costs a lot Say you want what’s best for me You just want the parts you need They say that good love is free But it sure feels like it costs a lot Thought that you were what I need Til I showed the weaker side of me Turns out you don’t like reality, no You close me up just like a centrefold Hide your feelings, while I bear it all Cut me out and hang me on the wall Say you want what’s best for me You don’t know what’s best for me They keep saying love is free But it sure feels like it costs a lot Say you want what’s best for me You just want the parts you need They say that good love is free But it sure feels like it costs a lot

Crybaby 03:33
All my demons They come out on the weekend We show up holding hands but you don’t want me when we’re leaving Swear you only need me when you’re fucked up or you’re bleeding Tell me, could you ever even love me? Oo oo I tried your medicine Oo oo Was nothing better than Oo oo And everytime you’d tell me I should let it go It’s like trying to forget everything I’ve ever known Crybaby Been praying for you to save me Crybaby Let me go Crybaby Been praying for you to save me But I know that you won’t Had your reasons I know it ain’t been easy Tried to fix it, Baby Thought us would be all I needed Picked me up and put me down Trying to say sorry now So go ahead and cry my precious baby Oo oo Go find your medicine Oo oo It’s ok you’ll be better then Oo oo And everytime you’d tell me I should let it go It’s like trying to forget everything I’ve ever known Crybaby Been praying for you to save me Crybaby Let me go Crybaby Been praying for you to save me But I know that you won’t I want you to care Like you say you do But I don’t see you there When I fade to blue Crybaby Been praying for you to save me Crybaby Let me go Crybaby Been praying for you to save me But I know that you won’t Crybaby Been praying for you to save me Crybaby Let me go Crybaby Been praying for you to save me But I know that you won’t

I’m a master of denial Caught up a spiral down, now I’m Chasing after memories Searching for a reason now I keep holding onto something Cause straight from the beginning you Opened up, yeah You gave me a way in But lately I just want a way out Keep your head down as the flame grows higher Twisted in the bedsheets, fuelling up a fire now, now Smoke and mirrors, we can’t see the difference In too deep are we staying or leaving now? Cause lately I just want a way out Wish that I could blame you Wish that I could hate you But I’d be lying to myself I Don’t wanna fight nobody else Wish that I could save you God knows that I want to I’m sick of lying to myself I Wish I wanted somebody else Caught inside a moment Don’t know how to cut you out I keep crying just to keep you But if I keep crying, then I know I’m gon’ drown Growing heavy should I wait? I could bend or I could break Keep your head down as the flame grows higher Twisted in the bedsheets, fuelling up a fire now, now Smoke and mirrors, we can’t see the difference In too deep are we staying or leaving now? Cause lately I just want a way out Wish that I could blame you Wish that I could hate you But I’d be lying to myself I Don’t wanna fight nobody else Wish that I could save you God knows that I want to I’m sick of lying to myself I Wish I wanted somebody else Growing heavy should I wait? I could bend or I could break

Twisted in my bed sheets Talk and listen Came and got to know you Had me wishing We could grow a story, a beginning We said fuck the distance And we gave in Wish there was a way To ease the pain FaceTimed and we’d text No other way Just wish that I could see you for a minute You’ve been on my mind now Moving slowly We built something My hands your mouth But now I I blame the sea The sea The Water I blame the sea It keeps you from me The water I blame the sea The sea The Water I blame the sea It keeps you from me The water Now I'm drownin' Now I'm drownin' Now I'm drownin' Now it’s bitter sweet Yeah, no one listens Came and got to know you Then we lost it Yeah we had a chapter A beginnin’ Now there’s so much distance And we gave in Wish I could find a way To take it back Maybe things would change Go back to those days Just wish that I could see you for a minute Why Moving slowly We built something My hands your mouth But now I I blame the sea The sea The Water I blame the sea It keeps you from me The water I blame the sea The sea The Water I blame the sea It keeps you from me The water Now I'm drownin' Now I'm drownin' Now I'm drownin'

Cry No More 02:00
Caught some feelings I let ‘em go Tossed ‘em back In the water I washed some shit down Watched it drown I’m in a bottle, I don’t feel it now Wish I didn’t care, didn’t care Why’d you have to take me all the way there Said you loved me, then you let me go I hope you find what you were looking for I don’t wanna cry no more I don’t wanna cry no more I don’t wanna cry no more I don’t wanna cry I don’t wanna cry, no I don’t wanna cry no more I don’t wanna cry no more I don’t wanna cry no more I don’t wanna cry I don’t wanna cry, no

about

Songwriting powerhouse Nicole Ariana celebrates the release of her debut album, Crybaby.

Fusing hypnotic Alt-RnB/Pop vocals with moody electronic production, the LP brings to light a young woman's longing for lost love in dark times, trying to fill the void in dim corners and old memories.

Channeling the notion of addictive love as a constant, CRYBABY stays true to Ariana's affinity for sensual and melancholy underground sonics, catchy hooks, and pop-oriented production.

Written between London, Berlin and Halifax, the LP features a host of heavy-hitting collaborations with producers such as JUNO winner Corey LeRue (Twice, Neon Dreams), Grammy nominee Geo Jordan (Doja Cat), Breagh Isabel (Classified, Donovan Woods), and Dylan Guthro (Ria Mae, Port Cities), and songwriters such as Grammy nominee Laura Roy ("Planet Her" by Doja Cat), Jodi Guthro, and Kayleigh O'Connor, among others.
