YouTube Karlee Girl has a hit on her hands! You might already be familiar with the Honolulu-born 22-year-old singer-songwriter (born Karlee Tanaka ) from the time she competed on Netflix’s The Debut: Dream Academy at the age of 19, which ultimately led to the creation of KATSEYE . Sadly, she didn’t make the cut. (She was also was a contestant on Netflix’s Building the Band , but was eliminated from that show as well.) Karlee ‘s now having the last laugh as a solo star, because her new song “Right Back!” is having a major moment on social media and streaming services. The track already has over 5 million streams on Spotify alone, and tens of thousands of TikTok videos as people sing and dance along to the catchy track. When it hit me like that, ay I’ma give it right back, ay I’ma give it right back, back, ba-back, back, ba-back When it hit me like that, ay I’ma give it right back, ay I’ma give it right back, back, ba-back, back, ba-back, back, back Amid speculation about the song’s meaning online, Karlee also uploaded an explainer video to social media. “Some people, like, aren’t getting the whole ‘right back’ thing, and I don’t blame them, and so I’m here to decode a little bit of that and tell you the backstory because I think it’s really fun and really unique, and I think it’ll help you understand the song better,” she explained in a video. View this post on Instagram A post shared by KARLEE GIRL (@gnarly.karlee) “I was born and raised [in Honolulu, Hawai’i]. There was a phrase, and kind of almost slang term, that we would use whenever someone had a s–tty moment in their life, like, if they broke up with someone, if they failed the test, or lost the game… anytime any setback happened, we would always be like, ‘Right back, right back!’ And I didn’t know that this was a Hawai’i-only phrase that no one else used until I brought it up during the [writing] session, and everyone’s like ‘What are you talking about?’” “I love the concept of being able to have a really simple phrase that makes the complicated and big situation suddenly not big and complicated, like some things need thinking and some things need time to figure out, but some things, you just need to bounce back. Some things you just need to right back, right back!… This phrase just kept coming up and eventually just became… the song title. And this entire song is about when ‘it’ hit me like that. I’m not talking about [a penis], I’m talking about life,” she added.
