Lyrics & Translation

[English]

I remember when Azie Zam came out. I

read a review that talked about how

Azizam was like, "Oh, just another Ed

Sheeran safe pop song and I was like, I

don't know that I've ever heard Farsy on

the radio, dude." I feel like a lot of

people have their minds made up on me

and no matter what I do,

>> it won't change their mind. So, it's

almost a superpower cuz I never have to

like do anything to appease anyone

because they think what they think. So,

I just get to do what I want to do, make

what I want to make. Like I had so much

fun making Azizam. The whole process

from making the song to being in the

studio and recording with like fantastic

instruments that I didn't didn't even

know existed before, working with like

Persian singers and artists on that tune

and then shooting the video and then it

coming out. So anyone saying anything

reductive after that point, it's sort of

irrelevant because of all all of the joy

that I've found from that song is what

makes that song worth it. Yeah.

>> You've talked about how growing up, you

know, you kind of were the ultimate

underdog to make it in this industry.

Talk about having like the NHS specs,

the red hair, the port wine birth.

>> You're like proper proper research.

You're not just like eat your food and

off.

>> I don't know. Eat your food and off

would have been a better name for the

show. And frankly, I think we we should

have done
