Overall, “miss sunshine” firmly establishes a continuation of MGK’s evolving sound, seamlessly merging rock and pop influences with deeply introspective lyricism.
Quotable Lyrics:
Hey, Miss Sunshine, I took a tab and felt the sky
It’s a good life, and then it’s bad, but that’s alright
On the bright side, we all sin and sympathize
So in the meantime, might as well enjoy the ride
Four seats of five people, ’bout to take a day trip
Roll the windows, roll one up, let’s make a spaceship
Where’s the volume? Turn it up, who got the playlist?
Everybody sings the song, just like we’re famous, uh
We were royalty in a cheap hotel
Dazеd and confused, but we clean up wеll
Didn’t need no help for a hell of a time
Hahahaha, yeah
It’s a long way home, uh
It’s a long way home, hm (Don’t know which way to go)
It’s a long way home, mm-mm
It’s a long way home
(Hahaha) Uh-uh
