How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

Who is Maya?
Genius Answer

Albert Hammond Jr mentioned her in a tumblr post:

As for who Maya is–no idea. On ITI, there’s a Maya, a Lisa, and a Nina, and no one knows who any of them are. I think they could have been friends or exes, but I think it’s more likely that they’re just made-up names, applying to real people or made-up ones.
