Hype Boy Lyrics Meaning in English
Hype Boy is about the excitement of a brand-new crush. The singer is so drawn to the boy that he fills her daydreams, and every day without him feels empty and dull. She calls him her chemical hype boy, because the feeling he gives her is like a rush she cannot resist, and she asks him to call her just so she can hear that he is hers.
In the bridge she cannot sleep because she keeps thinking of him until three in the morning, and she wants the whole world to know her name is written on him. The song's light beat and sweet melody make it a perfect picture of young first love, full of butterflies and confidence.
