Sawayama mentioned of “Commes des Garçons (Like the Boys)” in a assertion:
When I was composing this music I wanted on just one hand to lyrically check out
the idea of people today obtaining to adopt destructive male tropes to appear
confident, although on the other sonically spending homage to the early
2000s dance tracks that manufactured me sense self-confident. The concept that the
socially acceptable version of self-confidence is in acting “like the
boys,” normally as a woman you get named a bitch—but in the club, we
reclaim the phrase “bitch” as a sign of ultimate self-assurance (“yes
bitch,” “work bitch”). I wished to sit these two collectively and make a
club vogue banger that would make you sensation like THAT bitch whoever you
are.
Rina Sawayama recorded SAWAYAMA in London and Los Angeles. She worked on the album with Danny L Harle, Clarence Clarity, Bram Inscore, Nate Business, Nicole Morier, Lauren Aquilina, and Johnny Latimer. She said of the report:
The album eventually is about spouse and children and identity. It’s about
comprehension yourself in the context of two opposing cultures (for me
British and Japanese), what “belonging” suggests when residence is an evolving
principle, figuring out in which you sit easily within and awkwardly
exterior of stereotypes, and eventually hoping to be alright with just becoming
you, warts and all.
