Conan Gray Sings "People Watching", Billie Eilish, & Beyoncé in ROUND 2 of Song Association | ELLE

i love being dramatic because why would you ever deal with any emotion in a logical way when you could have the option of absolutely losing your mind hey y'all i'm conan gray and i'm back to play another round of song association without i'll be given a word and i'll have 10 seconds to sing a rap a song with that word i remember it being harder than i expected last time so i feel like maybe i'm not going to do that well but before we get into the game make sure to stream my new album super ache and if you don't bad things are going to happen to you [Music] stop oh god stop oh stop in the name of love before you break my heart that song was called stop in the name of love and i totally knew that and i didn't ask the people in this room what it was called sky sky we're beautiful like diamonds in the sky so shine bright tonight diamonds by rihanna people be that attached to the person i'm holding someday i'll be falling without caution but for now i'm only people watching people watching by justin bieber by me justin bieber people watching is about the fact that i have spent my entire life alone and that i've never been in love and i feel like i just kind of stalk couples everywhere i go and just watch them and wonder what it's like to feel a single emotion i live every day with nothing in my heart it's just about kind of like living vicariously through couples i think everyone who's single or just anyone really you like kind of look at people who are in love and you're like must be nice girl girl put your records on tell me your favorite song just go ahead your head down that song was just such like a like a song of my childhood so synonymous with like riding in the car with your single mother yeah so two thousands lost one last time i need to be the one to take you home i remember the music video was like the apocalypse or something classic bored i'm so bored i'm so bored so bored bored by billy eilish on the 13 reasons why soundtrack that song was so crucial to my high school experience i remember like playing it in the car with my best friend while it was raining and going to get some starbucks feeling very much like we were in 13 reasons why listen listen to the song here in my heart the version that i know is by beyonce i remember there was a performance of her singing it on like oprah or something and it was crazy and i was like oh my god i knew people could sing but i never knew people could sing like that part this is the part of me that you're never ever gonna take away from me katie mad oh tell all of your friends that i'm crazy and drive you mad that i'm such a stalker a watcher a psychopath maniac by justin bieber it's crazy that song like completely changed my life it was the first time that people ever like really reacted to a song of mine and it's crazy also to think it did come out like two years ago now and we've just been in the pandemic for the past like two years so um it's super fun to sing it live and it holds a very special place in my heart because i feel like anyone who is part of my little world and listens to my music i feel like we all hold that song very dear to our hearts because it was the beginning of something really special near shoot near near i don't know celine dion oh i don't i wouldn't i'm sorry guys i'm a little too young for that one sound the hills are alive with the sound of music i recently rewatched that movie and i think maybe as a kid i was not shown the ending because that movie is so so dark i don't think i ever remembered seeing the ending so i must have been like sheltered as a kid or something but god what a incredible movie yeah memories i wish that you would stay in my memories but you show up today just to ruin things i wanna put you in the past cause i'm traumatized memories off of my new album super ache you know when you're trying to get over someone but you just can't do it because they're making it as hard as possible they just like keep showing up in your life and you're like i'm trying so hard to get over you and you're making this terrible you're making it as hard as possible by like texting me every once in a while or like popping up on my birthdays stay in my memories i want you to be a part of my past we had so much fun making that song like as ridiculous as possible we just made it like just very dramatic and i love being dramatic because why would you ever deal with any emotion in a logical way when you could have the option of absolutely losing your mind but i think to be honest a lot of the songs on the album were like pretty miserable to make because i felt like if my debut album was like me saying hello this album is like me scraping my ribs for like information about myself and it's like was just so painful and miserable to make yeah to be honest it sucked still still cause after all this time i was still into you i should be over all the me to butterflies still into you by paramore clear all i did just to make you happy still you don't even love me jigsaw jigsaw chicks jigsaw killing parts of myself to fit you clear i was not be a show my favorite song to perform live on the album right now is jigsaw just because there's a moment in the second verse for everyone just loses their minds and screams jigsaw jigsaw jigsaw and it's just so fun to sing with everyone i think like everyone needs to kind of scream every once in a while it's good for the soul city city you only pass through my city every once in a million seconds on a broken clock this is online love off of my debut album kid crow i wrote this song very quickly and when i wrote it everyone was like okay and i was like but i want to finish it everyone's like you don't have time so i just recorded it on my iphone and put it on my album i mean my songwriting process is the same for everything i literally just sit in bed and write songs i thought it would change it hasn't it's just been like that my whole life i've just written songs in my bed my whole life and i think that's all i'm ever going to do text cause the potential of us is keeping me up all night long i sent a text you won't read all night long this could be a disaster there's so many factors this is disaster off of my new album super break that song is just about that moment where you really want to tell someone that you have feelings for them but you're like but what if they don't like me of course they don't like me i'm atrocious i'm like there's so many factors like what if you don't like me and then we never talk again because it's super awkward it's just all about the like overthinking of um that kind of crucial moment where you want to tell someone that you like them but if you're anything like me who are observers of life but oftentimes not participators you just smile and say nothing i just feel like i make music for people who are like me kiss kiss kiss me in the seat of your rover real sweet but i wish you were sober wish you were sober bye jessica alba my pre-performance ritual is losing my mind being absolutely riddled with anxiety barely being able to breathe calling my best friend being like i don't know if i can do it tonight and her being like you do it every night calm down and i'm like right and then i get my clothes on and shiver up to stage and then i get up there and literally the first note i sing i'm like everyone's here to have a good time this is perfectly fine i'm like super terrified before every single show and i thought it would get better and it hasn't it's gotten worse right right oh who wants to be right as a rain it's better when something is wrong right is rain by adele she's the reason why i started writing music i saw a video of like 18 year old adele singing daydreamer in her bedroom or something and like 11 year old me was like i could do that that's so easy i could write a song funny to think that that's how it all started but um adele is wonderful and it's actually quite hard to write an adele song i found out favorite of doll song has to be someone like you probably one of the best ballads of all time never mind i'll find someone like you i wish nothing but the best for you too one i'll be your number one girl be a number one girl always making time for you let me tell you one time that was actually by justin bieber one time thing the only thing that keeps me from saying something really sad uh the only thing by suffie and stevens wow we're ending this on a really depressing note i think i did better than last time i'm so talented give me some harder stuff next time going easy on me
