Poster Girl Lyrics
I'm not a poster girl
Poster girl
[Verse 1]
I was focused on me
My own energy
Trying to negotiate the conflict in myself
It was all going fine
Till you changed my mind
Someone call a lifeboat
'Cause I'm drowning in your vibe
[Pre-Chorus]
I'm melting into you like water
Sleeping without you is getting harder
Melting in like water
Oh my God, oh God, somebody stop her
[Chorus]
Holy smokes
I'm not the poster girl of feelings, but with you, I can't stop
Holy smokes
I want the sweet organic healing on the tip of my tongue
[Verse 2]
All of our friends
Don't want this to end
I should've known better-ter than bringing you 'round
Feeling the sparks
As you light up the room
I don't wanna come down off you too soon
I'm changing colors just like autumn
Sleeping without you is getting harder
Melting in like water
Oh my God, my God, somebody stop her
[Chorus]
Holy smokes
I'm not the poster girl of feelings, but with you, I can't stop
Holy smokes
I want the sweet organic healing on the tip of my tongue
[Post-Chorus]
Do-do, do-do-ayy, this isn't like me
Do-do, do-do-ayy, you got me saying
Holy smokes
I'm not the poster girl of feelings, but with you, I can't stop (I'm not)
[Bridge]
Do-do, do-do-ayy, this isn't like me
Do-do, do-do-ayy, you got me saying
Ooh, melting in like water
Oh my God, my God, somebody stop her
[Chorus]
Holy smokes (Oh, I)
I'm not the poster girl of feelings, but with you, I can't stop
Holy smokes
I want the sweet organic healing on the tip of my tongue (I want)
Do-do, do-do-ayy, this isn't like me (Like me)
Do-do, do-do-ayy, you got me saying
Holy smokes (Ooh)
I'm not the poster girl of feelings, but with you, I can't stop (I can't stop)
About
‘Poster Girl’ is the title track of Zara Larsson’s sophomore album.
In an interview with fashion media The Forumist during Fall 2020, Zara gave some details about the song :
“The title track is really about weed, another love song so to speak, as I don’t want to be the poster girl for it, but I do love it. The album title itself refers to me wanting to be the poster girl for many things, while also being a private person my Instagram followers don’t actually know. There is a complexity to a person that cannot be printed onto a poster, but then again it’s not up to me whether I’m a poster girl or not.”
“If you like what I have released before, you will also enjoy Poster Girl. I have given this album a lot of thought, and now I finally feel ready to release it. Poster Girl has highs and lows, just like life, and I have written it with people whom I really love.”

Though it sounds like a really cute love song—about how you’re not the poster girl for feelings, but you can’t stop expressing how much you love this person—I actually wrote it about weed. We were in LA and Justin [Tranter] said, ‘You smoke so much. So write a song about that.’ That’s where the lyrics ‘Holy smokes, I’m not the poster girl for feelings but with you I can’t stop’ come from.
