Niki used to be our little secret but look at her now. She deserves all the best things in life.

[@jazminmarcial1710]

[@annisar3741]

[@loiseopiana645]

yaaaaas❣️😩

[@rantimarrindrarazs9562]

HUEEEEEE THAT IS SO TRUE, i don't know whether to be sad or happy about it

[@draidah7567]

I remembering listening to her on youtube and people used to say "who?" and now they come to me saying, "have you listen to Niki's new album?" Oh I am so proud of Niki.

[@epiphemius6741]

"maybe you'll finally choose me after you've had more time..."
The tiny hope that glimmers from this line is the hope that I unswervingly cling to. I don't know how much more time you need in order for you to realize that we deserve another chance, but I'm willing to wait for a lifetime just to be with you again someday.
Do know that it's still you that I long for so much that's why I don't mind being your backburner :'))

Lyrics:
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 gotta 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 bе, too
But you bring them up
Along with how much I fu-- miss you
Maybe I'm just not bettеr 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
Backburner
Your backburner
Your backburner
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-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 bleeding 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 burnin' on your backburner, Oh-Oh!
(Backburner, your backburner)
And I know that it's sad that I settle for the backburner, Oh-Oh!
(Your backburner, your backburner)
(Your backburner, your backburner)
Guess I won't ever mind crisping up on your backburner, Oh-Oh!
(Your backburner, your backburner)
(Backburner, your backburner)
As long as you still think of me, Oh! Oh-Oh!
(Backburner, backburner)

[@daily_madisonbeer]

literally crying at how incredible niki is (and the musicians too, of course) 😭 she manages to capture that bittersweet feeling so well. forever one of my favorite artists !!!!

[@user-6290]

This version of backburner gives me longing for something precious in the past that you didn't realise until now vibes. So magical, I love it.
