Lyrics of Jayden by Claire Rosinkranz
[Intro]
Ba-Ba, Ba-Ba-Ba, La
Ba-Ba, Ba-Da-Ba, Ba-Ba-Ba-Ba-Ba
[Verse 1]
I Used To Be Happy
You Said You Were Too
I Catch Myself Laughing
But Now It’s Not With You
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, Jayden
Didn’t Know That We Were Playing Chess This Whole Damn Time
Just Waiting
I Don’t Wanna Wait But I Would Waste My Time For You
[Chorus]
You Make Me Feel Blue ‘Cause I Think About You Tying My Shoes
And Laughing Between Kisses, This Is Torture Like My Dirty Dishes
God, It’s Like I’m Starving
Feed Me Baby, Please
I’m Not Even Embarrassed ‘Cause I Know You’re What I Need
[Verse 2]
Me And You In New York
Me And You Anywhere
Watch The First Snow At Caffe Reggio
You’ve Got A Face Like My Prayers
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, Jayden
Didn’t Know That We Were Playing Chess This Whole Damn Time
Just Waiting
I Don’t Wanna Wait But I Would Waste My Time For You
[Chorus]
You Make Me Feel Blue ‘Cause I Think About You Tying My Shoes
And Laughing Between Kisses, This Is Torture Like My Dirty Dishes
God, It’s Like I’m Starving
Feed Me Baby, Please
I’m Not Even Embarrassed ‘Cause I Know You’re What I Need
[Post-Chorus]
Me-Ee-Ee, Ooo-Ooo-Ooo-Ooo-Ooo
Ooo-Ooo Ooo-Ooo, Me-Ee Ee-Ee, Ooo-Ooo-Ooo
[Bridge]
Darling, Walk Me Back Home And Please Don’t Leave Me Alone
Just Swaddle Me To Your Chest And Take Me In With Your Breath (Ah)
Baby, Call Me Your Baby, Want Your Fingers To Trace Me
If You’re Going Away, You Might As Well Just Erase Me
[Post-Chorus]
Me-Ee-Ee, Ooo-Ooo-Ooo-Ooo-Ooo
Ooo-Ooo Ooo-Ooo, Me-Ee Ee-Ee, Ooo-Ooo-Ooo (Ah)
[Chorus]
You Make Me Feel Blue ‘Cause I Think About You Tying My Shoes
And Laughing Between Kisses, This Is Torture Like My Dirty Dishes
God, It’s Like I’m Starving
Feed Me Baby, Please
I’m Not Even Embarrassed ‘Cause I Know You’re What I Need
[Outro]
Baby, Call Me Your Baby, Want Your Fingers To Trace Me
If You’re Going Away, You Might As Well Just Erase Me (Ah)
Baby, Call Me Your Baby, Want Your Fingers To Trace Me
If You’re Going Away, You Might As Well Just Erase Me
About “Jayden by Claire Rosinkranz”
Claire Rosinkranz aches with effortless charm in “Jayden,” a bedroom-pop gem where playful melodies cradle raw vulnerability—sweet, starry-eyed, and subtly devastating.
At its heart, “Jayden” channels classic indie-pop with gentle acoustic strums and dreamy layers, produced by Oliver Frid and Ragnar Rosinkranz to keep everything intimate and organic. The mood swings between nostalgic warmth and quiet desperation, exploring the push-pull of a chess-like relationship—waiting games, wasted time, and unembarrassed need. It’s Claire at her most confessional, turning everyday moments like dirty dishes or starving for affection into poetic gut punches that linger.
“Jayden” joins the tracklist of My Lover, Claire Rosinkranz’s highly anticipated second album dropping February 13, 2026—just in time for Valentine’s reflections. Announced last fall alongside singles like “Kiss” and “Chronic,” the project dives deep into love’s many shades: the thrill, the torture, the all-consuming pull. This era feels like Claire fully blooming—more polished yet still whimsically honest, blending her viral bedroom roots with matured storytelling across 13 tracks.
The rollout has been steady and personal, with pre-save links live on Spotify and teasers building serious anticipation. After touring with Maroon 5 and dropping standalone hits, My Lover positions Claire as a voice for Gen Z romance—unfiltered, relatable, and ready to soundtrack your next situationship spiral.
Coming off the breakout success of “Backyard Boy” and her 2023 debut Just Because, Claire’s in a phase of confident evolution—sharper lyrics, deeper emotions, and a sound that’s growing up without losing its youthful glow. “Jayden” captures that perfectly: less bubbly bounce, more heartfelt yearning, proving why she’s become a go-to for anyone navigating the chaos of modern love. In her discography, it stands out as a pivotal slow-burn, bridging her playful past with a more introspective future.
As the album countdown hits its final days, tracks like this are reminding fans why Claire’s pen feels so personal—turning private heartaches into shared anthems. With My Lover on the horizon, expect more moments that make you feel seen, one vulnerable verse at a time.
