Be Sweet Video (MV)




Be Sweet" is a song by American indie pop band Japanese Breakfast, released on March 2, 2021, as the lead single from their third studio album Jubilee. The band's lead vocalist Michelle Zauner co-wrote the song with Jack Tatum, the founder and lead singer of the indie rock project Wild Nothing. Zauner's bandmate, Craig Hendrix, encouraged her to compose arrangements for Jubilee; the two of them, along with Tatum, worked on the track's production.

Though the band's work previously dealt with Zauner's personal struggles with grief, "Be Sweet" saw them divert from their usual indie rock sound and lean more into a pop direction. Recorded in 2019, the song is an synth-pop, new wave, indie pop, dream pop, and funk track.

The song received praise from critics, who lauded its joyful, vibrant sound. The band would release various alternative and cover versions of the song, while also performing it frequently at festivals and on television late night and talk shows.

Japanese Breakfast - Be Sweet Lyrics
Official




Tell the men I'm coming, tell them count the days
I can feel the night passing by like a mistake waiting for me
Caught up in my feelings, overthink the truth
Fantasize you've left me behind
And I'm turned back running for you

Make it up to me, you know it's better
Make it up to me, you know it's better

Be sweet to me, baby
I wanna believe in you, I wanna believe (be sweet)
Be sweet to me, baby
I wanna believe in you, I wanna believe in something

So come and get your woman (come and get your woman)
Pacify her rage (pacify her rage)
Take the time to undo your lies
Make it up once more with feeling
Recognize your mistakes and I'll let you back in
Realize not too late, love you always

Make it up to me, you know it's better
Make it up to me, you know it's better

Be sweet to me, baby
I wanna believe in you, I wanna believe (be sweet)
Be sweet to me, baby
I wanna believe in you, I wanna believe in something
Be sweet to me, baby
I wanna believe in you, I wanna believe (be sweet)
Be sweet to me, baby
I wanna believe in you, I wanna believe in something
