about

"The idea [for First Impression] was floating around in my head for a while,” Amanda explains. “In the beginning, it was about first impressions in general, and the impact they have on us – that initial moment where you make a picture of a person, or his/her life, without even consciously thinking about it.”And while the original foundations remain, the track took a surprisingly “sass”turn in its final writing stages – with Amanda teaming up with Bergen-based producer/composer Askjell Solstrand (Aurora, Sigrid), and throwing shade like: “I’ve been digging deep to find some more, but you’re as shallow as the shore”. “We turned it around, and made it a little more ‘direct’ in its approach – how first impressions can be misleading,” she says.“Like when you meet someone who seems charming and fascinating and interesting, but then there’s just nothing beneath the surface.”

lyrics

You’re catching everybody’s eyes
But you’re a walking bunch of lies
I can see behind your smile
Hello devil in disguise

Congratulations
You just played everyone in the room
Not playing me though, I’m not a fool
You just played everyone in the room
Not playing me though, I’m level two

You make a first impression
And that’s the only thing about you
You make a first impression
That impresses everyone around you
Control their minds and steal their hearts
That’s what you do, that’s what you do
You make a first impression
And that’s the only thing about you

I like you better out of sight
Cause you’re a social parasite
And I don’t know how and why
Everybody thinks you’re right

Congratulations
You just played everyone in the room
Not playing me though, I’m not a fool
You just played everyone in the room
Not playing me though, I’m level two

You make a first impression
And that’s the only thing about you
You make a first impression
That impresses everyone around you
Control their minds and steal their hearts
That’s what you do, that’s what you do
You make a first impression
And that’s the only thing about you

I’ve been digging deep to find some more
But you’re as shallow as the shore
Your soul is cold, just play pretend
Listen as the ice beneath your feet
Is cracking beat by beat slowly
The show is coming to an end

You make a first impression
That impresses everybody around you
Control their minds and steal their hearts
That’s what you do, that’s what you do
You make a first impression
And that’s the only thing about you
Control their minds and steal their hearts
That’s what you do, that’s what you do
You make a first impression
And that’s the only thing about you
