Infectiously fun pop with tight guitar riffs and high vocals by the Brooklyn-based married duo of Anne Tong and Bryce Barsten, with a number about Tong’s Chinese childhood of trying to have fun under strict rules in her immigrant household. It describes a teenager’s desire to have fun with her friends while under the watchful eye of her mother. Lyrics about parties and big nights out are contrasted with the spoken Chinese portions of the song, which were inspired by the draconian rules and impossibly high standards of Tong's childhood home, as she mimics her mother's common reprimands of “do your homework, practice piano, no playing, keep studying.” Out on Moshi Moshi.
