The debut album by G FlipùMelbourne artist Georgia Flipoùdocuments, in
chronological order, a breakup and makeup with her girlfriend of five years.
ôI had a bunch of songs and I was like, æI can just put these in the actual
order of how it all unfolded,Æö she tells Apple Music. ôSo I decided to go
the artistic way rather than just putting all the bangers at the top. ItÆs
called About Us because it literally is [about] us and the rollercoaster of
our relationship.ö Here, Flipo talks through each track on her debut album.
ôLoverö
ôIt's a pretty grand track with a lot of musical contour. It starts off
without much instrumentation, just a strong vocal, but then it really expands
and becomes quite a grand song. To me it's like the exposition of a
theatrical Shakespearean play, where someone comes and tells you the basis of
what's gonna happen in the whole story. This is whatÆs gonna happen on the
album: I just want to be a lover. That really sets the scene.ö
ôI Am Not Afraidö
ôThis is where the story starts. I've been dumped, but thereÆs that feeling
of empowerment when you break up with someone, like, æI don't need anyone. I
can do this all on my own, it's gonna be fine.Æ The only way to do it is to
just say, æI'm not afraid. I'm okay to be myself and get over this and get
through.Æö
ôDrink Too Muchö
ôThis is the flipside of the breakup. You have that resilience, but you also
have this other side that just wants to go out and party and try to get over
it and drink your sorrows away, and pretend itÆs all like okay. Putting on
the brave face.ö
ôMorningö
ôItÆs about the morning after: You didn't go home with someone like you'd
planned, to get lucky and get over someone, and you wake up in the morning,
alone, and you're like, æF**k. I'm still thinking about this person and I
still wish they were here and I wish I was waking up with them next to me.Æö
ôWaking Up Tomorrowö
ôI'm really desperately heartbroken and thinking about her all the time. That
was rock bottom. But in the second verse, I say, 'Now that you've arrived, I
feel like I'm alive.' That's the first glimpse that she's back in my life.
And thereÆs a glimpse of hope in there, but the choruses are just desperate,
heartbroken words.ö
ôStupidö
ôThis track is more playful. You get a glimpse of her coming back in æWaking
Up Tomorrow,Æ and now weÆre just trying to work it out. WeÆre fighting; itÆs
up and down and we're on the rocks. But in the end, you know that you don't
want to do it with anybody else.ö
ôKilling My Timeö
ôI felt like [my girlfriend] was killing my time. I've been working so hard
at this music career for so long, writing so many songs, and now she's back
in my life and I feel like I'm hardly writing music anymore because I'm
distracted. So I wrote this song, went home and showed it to her. She was
like, æWhat the f**k?Æö
ôBring Me Homeö
ôThis is the only song that isnÆt about my relationshipùitÆs about anxiety. I
went through a lot of stress last September and cancelled a lot of plans, but
there was one writing session I was willing to do because it was a skateboard
away from my house. After a few hours, I sat near a piano and wrote this
song, and then we recorded the piano and vocals. We just recorded it to
listen back to later and produce it out, but we liked the organic, one-take
sound so much that we ended up using it. ThereÆs so, so much emotion in it.ö
ôAbout Youö
ôThis track summarizes the whole album, all the ups and downs. The drums
throughout the album signify positive changeùthere's a big drum solo in æI Am
Not Afraid,Æ the empowering track, and one here in the final chorus, this
soaring moment that says we're back together. ItÆs the song that started it
all for me, and I made it in my bedroom. I spent a year tweaking it, but it
was perfect the day I made it.ö
ô2 Millionö
ôThis is my favourite song I've ever written. ItÆs full of hope about the
future and what's to come, now that me and my girl are back together. The
lyrics keep expanding: The first line is about maybe buying a guitar one day,
maybe I'll put it on my wall. It zooms out: Maybe one day I'll have my own
home. And maybe one day I'll call you my own.ö
