about
“Backstreet Leather Toy” is a synth-pop track ornamented with shimmering synth melodies, funky resonant basslines, and lush pads from the Juno-106 and Korg-M1. Featuring guest vocalist Sedona, the indie pop sweetheart lends her effortless drama to themes of adolescent abandon and bad behavior. "Backstreet Leather Toy" recalls the funk and R&B influences of Ronnie's previous record, and gives it a new dance-pop sheen. The track has a summery, hanging-out-by-the-pier vibe reminiscent of 90’s acts like LFO or Steal My Sunshine by LEN, but with a touch of George Michael from the '80s.
Out chasing thrills
Been taking pills
Just trying to make some cash, trying to fool around
Been riding high
Blowing through red lights
Selling lemons for the man in the bright nightgown
(Sedona)
Oh Ronnie why
You gotta make me cry
You're so nasty, you're so coy
How come you got to be such a
Bad boy
Bad boy
High school drama boy
Just hop on back beep beep
I'm a bad boy
Bad boy
I'm your backstreet leather toy
Girl you know that’s right
(Sedona)
You’re starting fights
You’re telling lies
Now tell me why
You stood me up again last night?
You’re hanging out
With that greaser crowd
Trying to party like it's 1999
Quit playing with my heart
Your games they go too far
I wish you didn't turn me on
Can’t help it baby, c’mon
Bad boy
Bad boy
High school drama boy
Just hop on back beep beep
I'm a bad boy
Bad boy
I'm your backstreet leather toy
(Sedona)
Where will you go?
How long will you be?
You never called me last night!
Ronnie, don't leave!
Oh baby I’ve got to hit the road
Where will you go?
Hey, hey there's a few things you don't need to know
How long will you be?
Ooh, I'm never gone too
Never gone too long
You never called me last night!
Monday I'm gonna make it right
Ronnie, don't leave!
Bad boy
Bad boy
High school drama boy
Just hop on back beep beep
I'm a bad boy
Bad boy
I'm your backstreet leather toy
[How come you got to be such a]
Bad boy
Bad boy
High school drama boy
Just hop on back beep beep
I'm a bad boy
Bad boy
I'm your backstreet leather toy
Girl you know that’s right
