The song is about the way that girls catch guys. Okay. And how you gotta keep your poker face, because the minute you let the guy know how much you like him,

Exactly.

he runs with the help.

What's your poker face?

For me, it's kind of like if the guy that I'm interested in is over here. I thought that we could, you know, implement poker with the details. There's a lot of like poker makeup in the video. About the strip poker playing.

What's been the best part of the day so far?

We did the lightning bolt set up first, cause you know, I always have my lightning bolt set up. We also did one of my favorite looks of the day, which is this like amazing scuba outfit that I made. Full body, latex. Look at his outfit right here. It's actually lingerie. It can be unlocked with a key on the side. So this is for the strip poker scene in the video, while every other girl in the video, you know, takes her clothes off the way everyone else does. You unlock. You have to unlock your clothes.

I think I have. Yeah, I've been traveling and it's really exciting to see the music changing the way that young people think about pop. It's fantastic. I mean, I'm so blessed, I'm so appreciative.

You're also on some of the hottest shows, you know, for the younger generation. Gossip Girl, The Hills, Dirty Sexy Money.

I really wrote a record about pop culture. So these shows that are sort of emblematic of this generation of television, you know, they're gravitating towards music because it speaks to, you know, the new. Can't read my. Can't read my. No, he can't read my poker face. She's crazy. Hot. Money. Can't read my, can't read my. Hands up. Hands up. Let's go. I want no romance. We will be
