LYRICS:
I’m not lazy I’m just cautious
My heart pounding makes me nauseous but now

You Got me tying my shoes
And my stomachs in knots
And it’s all over you

Blood pressure up to roof
Got my Apple Watch saying time to
Cool down
breaking my rules now
Breaking a sweat
Not feeling my best
Too close to the vest
And my heart's Beating out of my chest but

I don’t wanna take it slow
And you know
I hate cardio
Cause I don’t chase
I always run
Cause it don’t seem like fun
(No fun)

Tryin to stay composed
But you make it hard to take it slow
And I can’t let you go
I don’t wanna rush
But i like you too much

Don’t just sit there I’m here dying
I’m not used to all this trying but your

Green eyes are matching your shoes
I don’t mean to sound rude
Wanna get in your suit
How do you do it on cruise
When my Apple Watch saying time to
Cool down
But no can do now
i’m doing my best
Been going too fast
In heels and a dress
And my heart’s beating out of my chest

I don’t wanna take it slow
And you know
I hate cardio
Cause I don’t chase
I always run
Cause it don’t seem like fun
(No fun)

Tryin’ to stay composed
But you make it hard to take it slow
And I can’t let you go
I don’t wanna rush
But i like you too much

I hate cardio
No fun

Starin’ at my phone
I just wanna know
are you home alone

Running down your street
I can barely breath
Something's wrong with me

I don’t wanna take it slow
And you know
I hate cardio
Cause I don’t chase
I always run
Cause it don’t seem like fun
(No fun)

Cause I hate cardio
But you make it hard to take it slow
And I can’t let you go
I don’t wanna rush
But i like you way too much

ABOUT THE SONG:
Let’s talk about “the chase.” I’ve always detested it. Because sadly 99% of the times I put it all out there and chased someone, I was left broken hearted. So I swore I would never ever ever do it again. And then I met Austin. Oh Austin with the green eyes and the dimples and the perfect teeth and James Dean hair… good God I was done for. And there I was again tempted by the stupid little chase bug. I started leaving little notes on his car, texting him first (OMG I know), moving my schedule so I could see him more, going out of my way to put on makeup and a cute outfit before he’d pick me up. I remember trying so hard to fight it but the way I felt about him was undeniable, and he definitely made taking it slow harder than I would’ve liked.

I wrote my newest single “I Hate Cardio” about this feeling. Hating the chase and yet being so excited about somebody that you’re almost tripping through your own emotions trying to resist it with little to no success. So much of the time we are stuck between playing it cool, and putting it all out there. And I’m so excited and proud of this song because I think we captured this concept in a very unique, never done before kinda way, that so many of us can relate to in this crazy dating world we live in.

Writing this song with Alex Veltri, Larzz Principato (produced as well), and Ben Antelis was a magical day. We all felt such an energy that this was something special. It's been one of my dreams to have the incredible Josh Gudwin mix a song for my project and that came true with this song which was such a huge honor. I couldn't be more excited to share this bop with the world.
