Mayer can’t help but sing about Katy
John Mayer’s new single, Still Feel Like Your Man, is about ex-girlfriend Katy Perry.
Lyrics for the upbeat, but wistful single include, “I still keep your shampoo in my shower in case you want to wash your hair.” In an interview with The New York Times, Mayer hints that it can only be about Perry.
“Who else would I be thinking about?” he said. “And by the way, it’s a testament to the fact that I have not dated a lot of people in the last five, six years. That was my only relationship. So it’s like, give me this, people.”
“Still like the letters in your name and how they feel, babe. Still think I’m never gonna find another you. Still like to leave the party early and go home, babe,” the song goes.
Mayer and Perry dated on and off from 2012 to 2015.
Mayer has had other high-profile girlfriends over the years, including Jessica Simpson, Jennifer Aniston and Taylor Swift.
“I (was) a young guy. I like girls. I want girls to like me. I want to make music and be thought of as attractive. I was finally ready to re-enter that world and grow back into it.”
The singer tells the Times he uses an exclusive dating app these days.
Meanwhile, Kendrick Lamar’s fans are playing the guessing game in his new track.
Kendrick Lamar called out rappers by name in his infamous Control verse released in 2013, but the internet is playing the guessing game about his target in a new song. Lamar released The Heart
Part 4 on Friday and caused a frenzy on social media as fans and listeners tried to figure out whom the rap prince was referring to in the buzzed track.
Drake, Big Sean and J. Cole were some of the rappers speculated to be Lamar’s target on the song, which starts with the line, “Don’t tell a lie on me. I won’t tell the truth about you.”
On the second verse he raps, “Tiptoeing around my name ...You lame. And when I get at you, homie, don’t you just tell me you was just playing.”
The 29-year-old Compton rapper also name-drops President Donald Trump in the song, calling him a “chump.”
“Donald Trump is a chump. Know how we feel, punk. Tell ‘em that God coming. And Russia need a replay button. Y’all up to something. Electoral votes look like memorial votes. But America’s truth ain’t ignoring the votes,” Lamar raps.
Lamar is expected to release a new album this year. It will be the follow-up to 2015’s Grammywinning To Pimp a Butterfly.
On Control, Lamar received praise for his guest verse on the song by Big Sean, which also featured Jay Electronica. On the track, Lamar called himself “the king of New York” and “the king of the coast.” He also called out 11 rappers, including Drake, J. Cole, A$AP Rocky, Pusha T, Meek Mill, Mac Miller, Wale, Big K.R.I.T., Tyler, the Creator as well as his Control co-stars.
