Put your middle fingers up
Take a shot, throw it up and don't stop
I'm, I'm, I'm living that life on the dark side

Every psycho in the scene
Hands up and follow me saying (hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo)
Empire of the freaks, all drinks on me

Just another night in my pitch black paradise
Don't wanna cry, so I gotta get paralyzed
My body is my weapon, so I keep it loaded
'Til I'm all over the place like my head exploded
Don't waste your prayers, they can't save us
Lifestyles of the sick and dangerous

Put your middle fingers up
Take a shot, throw it up and don't stop
I'm, I'm, I'm living that life on the dark side
Likе the 27 Club, headshot
We don't wanna grow up
I'm, I'm, I'm living that lifе on the dark side
Life on the dark side

Every psycho in the scene
Hands up and follow me saying (hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo)
Empire of the freaks, all drinks on me

I'm in a cave of man-made misery
Digging a grave for myself and my enemies
Of all the dark things that keep me wasted
You're the sweetest I've ever tasted

Put your middle fingers up
Take a shot, throw it up and don't stop
I'm, I'm, I'm living that life on the dark side
Like the 27 Club, headshot
We don't wanna grow up
I'm, I'm, I'm living that life on the dark side
Life on the dark side

Just another night in my pitch black paradise
Don't wanna cry so I gotta get paralyzed
Don't waste your prayers, they can't save us
Lifestyles of the sick and dangerous

Put your middle fingers up
Take a shot, throw it up and don't stop
I'm, I'm, I'm living that life on the dark side

I feel like I should enjoy this, it's care free fun and it's not a sleeping pill. However, there is something about it I find very off putting, idk if it's the insane repetition of 'I love you' or the weird novelty-esque style of it but it's really not sitting right with me tbh.

Okay I see some people loving it and some people hating it....

So few questions
-With title 'I love you' you tought that lyrics won't be repetitive ?
- 'Oh they have bad rap' what you expect a hip-hop band just be there and no rap in this song ?

ILY isn't tacky, or overly tacky, for my taste. However I'm not a fan of the chorus with all the 'i love you's playing over and over, there should be a line that breaks them up.

Idk if someone already pointed this out, but it's not a serious song.
The humour is probably not coming through as it's in finnish, but the rappers are making self-deprecating humour about finnish men and their issues with both feelings and, in this specific case, languages. The chorus is inane on purpose to drive home the most simplistic bit of verbal communication between two people who are attracted to each other, but speak different languages.

This is the perpetual problem with singing in a minority language instead of english. Oh, well.

Eh it's ok. I feel like this whole NF will be a bunch of beige mess and Aksel will win anyway. :cautious:

Finland are so good with their 80s inspired electro pop tracks. I Love You production wise is up there with Draamaa and Cicciolina, two of my all time favourite Eurovision related hits. Ummm... those lyrics though. As others have said, it wouldn't have harmed to have a bit.... more? Urhhh I just can't resist though. I'm the biggest sucker when it comes to this kind of stuff. If the music is sugary and crunchy enough, you could be singing about toilet roll and my clothes would still be falling off in support. This is wondrous. I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you and so on etc.

I'm not holding my breath for Finland ever sending something like this to the contest, but I'm grateful still that they feed me each year with these national finals.

Better than Oskr - Lie. Teflon Brothers parts are good, but Pandora's parts perhaps are too repetitive. Music video was funny. 3,5/5.

I think it’d have been better if the song was 75% Pandora feat. 25% Teflon Brothers. The rap/hip hop part is just tedious, could stand out better if they had just a brief and funny participation, the best part is indeed the synth/electro keyboard, but there’s not enough of it to like the whole song.
