"'I wrote Sexy Villain with my friend Mary Weitz and my friend Livvi Franc. And this producer named M-Phazes. And that is, like, my power-crew of, like, pop-songwriting. Like, if I ever wanna write a popsong that’s, like, kind of weird, us four together will make it happen.
I was actually watching a lot of true-crime-shows at the time, and listening to a lot of true-crime-podcasts. And so, I don’t know, I was feeling, I was in a kind of a weird place in my relationship at that time too, and I kind of always felt like I was the bad guy in every situation. So I kind of drew on both of those things, and then we created this kind of alter-ego of mine: The sexy villain.
We kind of just rift on that, and, like, there’s a bunch of Ted Bundy-references in there, it’s just a bunch of random, little easter eggs in there. But I don’t know, I love the song. I think it’s, like, such a feel-good-song. And I like listening to it, actually, alone. Like, one of the only songs on the album that I’ll, like, listen to in my house.'"

"‘Sexy Villain’ I wrote with my power trio of my girly songwriters—Mary Weitz and Olivia Waithe. I wrote ‘Disco Man’ with them, and ‘Buzz Me In’. I trust them a lot; they understand me, and they understand where I like going lyrically. At the time, I was watching and listening to a lot of true crime. I was in a relationship, and I was constantly feeling like the bad guy—even though I wasn’t, but that’s where my anxiety takes me a lot of the time. The sexy villain is my alter ego, in a sense—or it was that day.'"
