Lagu ini di rilis pada tanggal 12 Agustus tahun 2022. Dalam lagu "Backburner", NIKI mengisahkan seseorang yang rela dikesampingkan dan menjadi pilihan kedua karena sangat mencintai sang pujaan hati. NIKI sadar tidak bisa menjadi prioritas orang yang ia cintai. Meski begitu, dia tetap bertahan sambil berharap suatu saat sang pujaan hati juga akan mencintainya. Dikutip dari laman Vocabulary, backburner sendiri berarti istilah yang merujuk pada idiom ‘on the back burner’. Makna idiom tersebut adalah sesuatu yang dikesampingkan atau tidak diprioritaskan karena sifatnya tidak penting atau mendesak. Fun fact istilah ini awalnya tercipta di dapur lohh, makna backburner lahir dari kebiasaan para koki saat memasak di dapur. Biasanya, kompor yang digunakan koki terdiri dari tiga mata api, yakni di sebelah kiri, kanan, dan belakang. Nah, mata api yang di belakang disebut ‘backburner’. Tidak seperti mata api kiri dan kanan yang sering menyala karena aktif digunakan, backburner cenderung lebih sering padam. Backburner hanya akan menyala ketika mata api yang di depan sudah penuh. Kadang-kadang, koki hanya menjadikan backburner sebagai tempat untuk meletakkan panci yang sedang ingin dikesampingkan. Inilah awal mula istilah ‘backburner’ dengan makna ‘tidak diprioritaskan’ hadir.
Lagu ini aku rekomendasikan bagi kalian yang mempunyai HTS tapi suka ilang ilangan, siapa tau kamu jadi backburner jadi ayo sadar guys kita bukan prioritas mereka 😔😔
Ini lirik full dari lagu Backburner by Niki
I can't lie, it feels nice that you're calling
You sound sad and alone and you're stalling
And for once, I don't care about what you want
As long as we keep talking (as long as we're talking)
I mean, you got to admit the history's kind of unmatched
Asian Calvinism, we made it out of that
Well, whether we're free of will or predestined
Clearly, I've not learned my lesson even now
Hope He doesn't strike me down (strike me down)
The Goo Goo Dolls are dead to me
The way you should be too
But you bring them up
Along with how much I fucking miss you
Maybe I'm just not better than this, I haven't tried
Maybe life's less romantic when I don't wanna die
You'd think I'd be a fast learner
But guess I won't ever mind crisping up on your backburner
It's pathetic, but at least you are too
I don't know what to do
I don't like anyone except sometimes you
And now you're sounding like a hurt puppy
You look ugly when you cry
But I'm the one you think to call
How do you feel lucky and appalled at the same time?
After everything you put me through
I somehow still believe in you
Oh
But I know in a week or so
You'll fade away again
And I wish that I cared
Hey, are you still there?
Good
Maybe I'm just not better than this, I haven't tried
'Cause maybe you'll finally choose me after you've had more time
I thought I was a fast learner
But guess I won't ever mind
Guess I won't ever mind
Maybe I blame my mother bleedin' into my stride
Maybe it was my father and his wandering eyes
(It's their fault that) I'll always be in your corner
'Cause I don't feel alive 'til I'm burning on your backburner
oh
(Your backburner)
And I know that it's sad (backburner)
That I settled for the backburner (backburner)
(Backburner) oh
(Backburner)
Guess I won't ever mind (backburner)
Crisping up on your backburner (backburner)
(Backburner) oh
(Your backburner)
As long as you still think of me
(Backburner) oh
(Backburner)
