PAY ME BACK is the new single from pop diva ILIRA. The 4-octave-singer flexes her impressive vocal gymnastics in this sass-packed bop, reminding everyone of her status as pop royalty. PAY ME BACK! is a mood for sure, displaying ILIRA’s bottled up anger towards her ex, urging him to pay her back for all the love, time and effort she wasted on him. It comes as no surprise that ILIRA’s language is a colorful blend of clever lines. The opening line — “Just like a slot machine, honey, you had your greedy little hands on me” — sets the tone for the whole song, proving that Kosovo-Albanian songstress ILIRA has a bone to pick with her ex. The unicorn-themed art work and music video are a tribute to ILIRA’s fans that she lovingly calls unicorns. With a gigantic monster chorus, and a bridge reminiscent of 90s pop, PAY ME BACK! is the kind of glittery yet ballsy, bossy music today’s pop needs.

LYRICS
Just like a slot machine
Honey, you had your greedy little hands on me
Crushed, thought you’d cum for free
Sorry, I almost had to file for bankruptcy
And I wasted all those summer nights
In Disneyland, my ride or die
On you
You raised your hand and testified
Then took my credit card and swiped
How rude, so rude
Pay me back
Witness stand, can’t you be an honest man
Pay me back
I’m in debt, never chipped in with the rent
Pay me back
Movie nights and romantic dinner plans
Wish that I could cash that check
So pay me back
Pay me back
Wish that I could cash that check
So pay me
Damn, I’m no ATM
But you want all my money like you’re Uncle Sam
Can’t you just understand
Oh man, you never grow up like you’re Peter Pan
And I wasted all those summer nights
In Disneyland, my ride or die
On you
You raised your hand and testified
Then took my credit card and swiped
How rude, so rude
CHORUS
I been cooking and cleaning for ya
Thought it would last forever
Now I’m broke waving sayonara
Can you do me, do me what
Can you do me one last favor
CHORUS
Just like a slot machine
Honey, you had your greedy little hands on me
Crushed, thought you’d cum for free
Sorry, I almost had to file for bankruptcy
And I wasted all those summer nights
In Disneyland, my ride or die
On you
You raised your hand and testified
Then took my credit card and swiped
How rude, so rude
CHORUS
Damn, I’m no ATM
But you want all my money like you’re Uncle Sam
Can’t you just understand
Oh man, you never grow up like you’re Peter Pan
And I wasted all those summer nights
In Disneyland, my ride or die
On you
You raised your hand and testified
Then took my credit card and swiped
How rude, so rude
CHORUS
I been cooking and cleaning for ya
Thought it would last forever
Now I’m broke waving sayonara
Can you do me, do me what
Can you do me one last favor
Pay me back
Witness stand, can’t you be an honest man
Pay me back
I’m in debt, never chipped in with the rent
Pay me back
Movie nights and romantic dinner plans
Wish that I could cash that check
So pay me back
CHORUS
