Pasadena Lyrics

[Intro]
One, two
One, two, three, hey


[Chorus: Tinashe & Buddy]
Feelin' right, feelin’ right, feelin' right (Woo!)
Livin' life, it’s the life (Hey, hey, hey)
Feelin' free, feelin' free, feelin' right (Woo!)
It's a vibe, feelin' right (Hey, hey, hey)

[Verse 1: Tinashe]
The summer's comin' ’round the corner
And now I’m feelin' like I don’t even know ya
I'm never leavin' California
Now more than ever life is all what you make it
I got a vision of a perfect night
But every day I end up goin' through the motions
I wasn’t build for the simple life
In Pasadena singin', "Do, do-do-do, do"

[Chorus: Tinashe & Buddy]
Feelin' right, feelin' right, feelin' right (Woo!)
Livin' life, it's the life (Hey, hеy, hey)
Feelin' free, feelin' free, feelin' right (Woo!)
It's a vibe, feelin' right (Hey, hеy, hey)
[Post-Chorus: Tinashe]
Up in the penthouse you see to the ocean (Woo!)
How did we get here, we don't even know (Feelin' so free)
Hands in the wind, racin' out to the coast (Feelin' so high)
Feelin' free, don't get better than this

[Verse 2: Buddy & Tinashe]
Closin' the curtain and on the poolside cabana (Smokin' on weed)
Mind my surroundin', get a room if you like (Gettin' so high)
We got faded, then I flew her to Miami (Miami)
I think I lost my visa
Never been the type that wanna be right, I wanna live life (Life, woo!)
Some say I'm psycho, but this shit here go in cycles (Cycles)
Tell all my rivals, "Save that drama for your momma" (Woo!)
Smokin' ganja with my partners
Seen a bad one in the lobby, had to stop
She want sex so good it make a tear fall (Tear fall, Oh-oh)
Prancing around in that lil' leotard (Oh)
When you're not around, I go through withdrawals (Withdrawals, Oh-oh)
Withdrawals, without-drawls, don't matter, darling, I take it all, shit

[Verse 3: Tinashe]
Lately, I've been feelin' restless (Restless)
I try my best just to ignore all the nonsense
If only I could manifest it (Manifest)
My momma told me, "Life is yours for the takin'"
We've been workin' way too hard, gotta live a little more
Gotta put my family on, daddy don't need no more jobs
Always been a real good vibe
In Pasadena talking shit since 'bout '02
[Chorus: Tinashe & Buddy]
Feelin' right, feelin' right, feelin' right (Woo!)
Livin' life, it's the life (Hey, hey, hey)
Feelin' free, feelin' free, feelin' right (Woo!)
It's a vibe, feelin' right (Hey, hey, hey)

[Post-Chorus: Tinashe]
Up in the penthouse you see to the ocean (Woo!)
How did we get here, we don't even know (Feelin' so free)
Hands in the wind, racin' out to the coast (Feelin' so high)
Feelin' free, don't get better than this

[Bridge: Tinashe]
Feelin' so free
Feelin' so high

[Post-Chorus: Tinashe]
Up in the penthouse you see to the ocean (Woo!)
How did we get here, we don't even know (Feelin' so free)
Hands in the wind, racin' out to the coast (Feelin' so high)
Feelin' free, don't get better than this

What did Tinashe & Buddy say about "Pasadena"?
Genius Answer

After the past year we have all had, I felt a very strong calling to release music that feels like joy, excitement, and freedom – to contribute positive energy to the universe.

I wrote and recorded the song ‘Pasadena’ in my home in Los Angeles with a bold, bouncing tempo that makes me want to dance. The song is about growth, family, and the feelings I get when I visit the area I grew up in — energetic and nostalgic, but hopeful.
