00:00We now know Glorilla's verse, we've learned it, and we're ready to go.
00:30We love this song.
00:47From the moment we heard it, we knew it had to be a single.
00:51Kayla Parks wrote it, and we've obviously seen her credits for so long, love her music.
00:57We were even just so aghast to be in the studio with her, so for her to play a song that she
01:00wrote with us in mind was so exciting.
01:03The last time, and the most memorable time we were in our bag, was when we took a private
01:09jet for my birthday all the way from Louisville to Atlanta to take us to the club.
01:14To the club.
01:15To see some ass.
01:16From the time the day starts to the time the day ends, I'm just giving in my bag.
01:39And even if you're not sometimes, you just have to believe it.
01:42Yes.
01:43Hop in the Wraith.
01:44We don't have a Wraith.
01:45We haven't even been in a Wraith.
01:46No, we have.
01:47Have we?
01:48Was the car a Wraith?
01:49No.
01:50No.
01:51No, it wasn't a Wraith, was it?
01:52But it's like, it's a metaphor.
01:53It's a metaphor.
01:54We're cruising on the street of life.
01:57Yes!
01:58I know you heard it, baby, rhythm is a dancer, can't nobody do it like I do it, do it better.
02:05All right.
02:06Okay.
02:07All night.
02:08All day.
02:09I say, that's right, it's all on me.
02:12When you put this joint on, you gots to dance.
02:15Shimmy, dance, be in your bag, because, shimmy, dance, oh yes, be in your bag.
02:26Can't nobody do it like I do it, do it better.
02:30It says it.
02:31Like, I don't need to explain that to you guys.
02:43Well, we definitely have manifested our careers.
02:51It's all about everything working as one.
02:54Everything working in harmony, like your soul, whether that be your morals, all of that stuff,
03:01your body, like your mind, like how's your mind working?
03:05Everything needs to be working as one for your dreams to come true.
03:11In my bag.
03:13My whip.
03:16Mind your head.
03:18In my bag.
03:20I'll be on my shit.
03:23Don't slip, in my bag, when you see me, know I'm in my bag.
03:34My vet.
03:35I did.
03:36I'll be on my shit.
03:37In my bag, don't slip, in my bag.
03:38Bad bitch.
03:39When you see me, know I'm in my bag.
03:40We are always that bitch.
03:41It's just like, it's an innate thing.
03:45It's just, it's just in our blood.
03:46Do you know what?
03:47Everyone can be that bitch.
03:48Literally.
03:49You just have to believe it.
03:50Wow.
03:51There you go.
03:52You just have to believe it.
03:55What that a perk and some Gucci Louis for time.
03:58Just know when you see me I'ma put that shit on.
04:02When we say what that in the second verse.
04:06That was just the way that Taylor had sung it in the demo.
04:09And it was super catchy because it was like, what is that?
04:13Is it?
04:14What's that?
04:15What that?
04:16It was what that?
04:17So we just thought let's keep that
04:18because that's obviously how she was feeling
04:20when she sung it.
04:21And we don't want to lose the original integrity
04:24of the song.
04:24So what that it was.
04:26What that?
04:27Is it a Birkin?
04:29Is it a Gucci?
04:31Is it a Louis?
04:32But time.
04:33Exactly.
04:39Sunshine.
04:40I am.
04:41When we say I got that sunshine in my pocket.
04:44It definitely counteracts all of the materialistic brags.
04:50Depending on how you want to interpret it.
04:52Come to think of it.
04:53I feel like she's referring to a card.
04:55I've got that sunshine in my pocket.
04:57Like I've got a card in my pocket and the card is going.
05:00It's bright.
05:01It's glowing.
05:02It's bright.
05:03Yes.
05:03Yeah.
05:04It's very like, you can see it through the pocket.
05:05Oh, I like that.
05:06That's cool.
05:07Yeah.
05:08And then also.
05:09The whole sunshine.
05:10Yeah.
05:11Humble.
05:12It balances it out.
05:12It's all double entendres.
05:13Yeah.
05:14It's however you're feeling when you listen to it.
05:16Mm-hmm.
05:19My body, my head, it's so connected.
05:22What I got is man, no face did I.
05:28I don't even got to try.
05:31The bag essentials.
05:32You must have lip liner and lip gloss.
05:35Always.
05:36All the way.
05:37Even if you don't have a bag.
05:37I don't have a bag.
05:39It's in Stella's bag.
05:42You need maybe like a spray.
05:45A brush.
05:45A brush.
05:47This is a vocal tube.
05:48And it's what we use to do our vocal warmups.
05:51Comes very in hand when we're in need of a vocal warmup.
05:57Got a lovely powder puff from my makeup artist.
05:59Your key card.
06:00Keeping me nice and bright and tight.
06:01What have you got here?
06:03I've got some sweets that I took
06:05from our previous interview.
06:08Let's keep those out.
06:09Oh, have a little snack.
06:10Snacks are important, guys.
06:12I've got Lumify.
06:14My makeup artist gave this to me.
06:15It's like, it just brightens your eyes
06:17and makes sure you're alive.
06:19And we have no sleep.
06:21It's been a tight schedule.
06:22So I needed the Lumify.
06:26Having Glow on our song is just so cool.
06:30I feel like we've entered the rap scene
06:32with like one of the biggest features
06:34and she's such a groundbreaking artist.
06:37She really killed her verse.
06:38Yeah, she did.
06:39Like the way she comes in
06:41and like just the way the production is built around her.
06:44It's such a journey.
06:45It has so much energy.
06:46She gave us so many captions.
06:48So many captions.
06:49For Instagram.
06:50And the accent.
06:51Oh God, it's addicting.
06:53You beautiful.
06:54I love it.
