KOTRELL EMBRACES THE MADNESS OF LOVE IN “MISBEHAVE”
Nigerian singer-songwriter Kotrell has crafted the perfect song for lovesick daydreamers with his
new single “Misbehave”.
With “Misbehave,” he captures that giddy, slightly unhinged feeling of falling head over heels.
when rational thought disappears and all that matters is hearing their name.
“You’ve been on my mind all day day day,” he sings. The hook, “I misbehave when you
call my name”, is a tender admission of love’s power. Each line is wrapped in melody, making
the feeling of obsession sound beautiful and relatable.
“Misbehave” is delicious in its simplicity. From the opening line “You’ve been on my mind all
day day day”, Kotrell leans into repetitive phrasing that mirrors obsessive thoughts.
The hook “I misbehave, I’m not normal when you call my name” is a tender admission of
love’s power. Each line is wrapped in melody, making the feeling of obsession sound beautiful
and relatable.
When he croons “You’re my twinkle little star”, the childlike wonder feels refreshingly genuine
in an era of performative cynicism.
What sets Kotrell apart is his ability to make vulnerability sound cool. “Love makes fools of us
all,” he laughs. “This song is for anyone who’s ever cancelled plans just to stare at their
phone waiting for a text.”
Sometimes love just takes over, you’re not yourself, and it’s okay.
