The lyrics are nonsensical at parts too. They don't even sound like they were written by a native speaker? I mean we have gems like:
???
Do words even mean things?
????????????????????
Actually, this whole second track sounds like it was written by someone who took a few English courses and figured out that words can sort of rhyme sometimes.
Her target audience won't pick up on how awful the lyrics are but they're gonna bother the fuck out of me lmao.

The problem is that her target audience is Japan and they couldn't care less what she is singing about in English (since they mostly don't understand and can't figure the words/pharses/grammer/meanings) out. She will just keep selling good there regardless.
I love most of the stuff from the previews (I wish she would actually collaborate with David Guetta).
I also think that some of the lyrics are kinda repetitive and meaningless which bothers me a little. With namie I'm not looking for anyting breathtaking regarding lyrics but I could swear I heard a lot of phrases already in other songs she did. Music is not her problem at all but since she sings in it, she has to step up her game with the lyrics for her up beat songs (most songs).
Actually Anything sound like it will be her best English ballad (at least something).
Anyway I can't wait for the full stuff!
