Grammar:

• Should I do it on the phone?

  ➔ Modal verb "should" for advice/suggestion/obligation

  ➔ Using "should" expresses a question about whether it's a good idea or the right thing to do something. It's a softer form of obligation or suggestion. The structure is "Should + subject + verb...?"

• Maybe I’ll just disappear

  ➔ Future simple with "will" contracted to "'ll"

  ➔ The contraction "'ll" is a shortened form of "will" used to express future actions or intentions. In this case, it indicates a possible plan: I "will" disappear.

• Cause I’ll be single soon

  ➔ Future simple with "will" contracted to "'ll" and "cause" as informal "because"

  ➔ "I’ll be single soon" uses the future simple to state a future state. "Cause" is a colloquial abbreviation of "because".

• I know he’ll be a mess

  ➔ Future simple with "will" contracted to "'ll"

  ➔ Again, "he'll" is a contraction of "he will," indicating a prediction about the future.

• Ima date who I wanna

  ➔ Informal contraction "Ima" for "I'm going to" and "wanna" for "want to". Relative pronoun omission.

  ➔ "Ima" is very informal, standing in for "I'm going to", expressing a future intention. "Wanna" is a colloquial abbreviation of "want to." The clause is missing a relative pronoun: "date who(m) I want to."

• Stay out late if I wanna

  ➔ Conditional sentence with "if" and omission of "want to"

  ➔ This is a conditional sentence stating a possible condition and consequence. The "want to" is implied at the end: "Stay out late if I want to." Note the use of the zero conditional here, where the condition and result are generally true.

• I know I’m a little high maintenance

  ➔ Use of the adjective “high-maintenance”

  ➔ "High-maintenance" is a compound adjective meaning demanding or requiring a lot of effort, attention, or resources. The speaker acknowledges this trait about herself.
