“A true anthem for our ladies and gentlemen directed to the boys who TRIED to break our hearts” – ILI
With authentic songs from the heart, ili presents credible stories in the purest of pop in engaging and emotive clarity, with a truly global sensibility. In 2019 with a new aura, ili created exciting intrigue and praise in the UK and Indonesia. In 2020 we are pleased to be working with the Indonesian powerhouse Producer NSG to present the amazing new remix for “Plastic Knife”.
“A true anthem for our ladies and gentlemen directed to the boys who TRIED to break our hearts – well they can’t, we have thick skin. I came up with the title ‘Plastic Knife’ first, then, came up with concept of ‘go ahead try cut deep with your words, they won’t hurt me, just like a plastic knife wouldn’t’. I love dark pop and this is one of my favs I have
written as there is so much sass, yet, it’s so cool at the same time. For the generation of the young and old, this song has no limits.”
“ili is ready to move forward on a whole new footing by releasing bold pop songs which strike a balance between thoughtful artistry and addictive, melodic vibes. Beautifully crafted songs wrapped in a modern sensibility, align her as a challenger to charting female singers. At the forefront of my mind after listening through “Changes” ili gives a striking vocal resemblance to Zara Larsson. My early predictions for ili, are that commercial success which will open up a prolific, career in pop. Either way, be ready for ili, I firmly believe she is on the ascent setting ili on a course that already has the thrilling sensation, promising a taste of chart glory. Whatever lies ahead, the potential in just these two songs is vast. My early predictions for ili, are that commercial success which will open up a prolific, career in pop.” EQ MUSIC UK
Plastic Knife Lyrics
I lost my attention for a second
Maybe listen don’t question
You’re the reason I mentioned it
Keep it coming you got something
Big boy tough oh you nothing
This don’t hurt oh I’m done with it
(Ah) Boy I’m in the pink, sleep without a wink
And my blood and my blood goes
Boy you’re on the brink, you tell me how to think
You really think I listen
I got I live with, that thick skin
You try to cut deep, oh you sin
You can’t get it right, no matter how you try to run my life
Cut me with a plastic knife
I give my commitment for a minute
I’m quoting you be wishing you got it right
Words that you be through hit me hard oh I focus
Sit down now I know that your out my mind
(Ah) Boy I’m in the pink, sleep without a wink
And my blood and my blood goes
Boy you’re on the brink, you tell me how to think
You really think I listen
I got I live with, that thick skin
You try to cut deep, oh you sin
You can’t get it right, no matter how you try to run my life
Cut me with a plastic knife (x2)
Once, just once
Tell me something nice oh tell me that i’m beautiful
Love, a little love
You got nothing left to give
I got I live with, that thick skin
You try to cut deep, oh you sin
You can’t get it right, no matter how you try to run my life
