“I’ve been placing myself within the headspace of somebody who’s on the finish of mile 1, and I feel ‘Physique Funk’ by Purple Disco Machine could be excellent for a second like that,” she continued. “Except after all ‘Bodyguard’ by Beyonce could be higher? Or if I’m feeling good and in a stream state, possibly one thing angsty like ‘Distress Enterprise’ by Paramour could be preferable. God, these kinds of selections are unimaginable.”
