about
Acclaimed alt-R&B singer Corina Corina’s “middle finger to the ex” anthem.
No apologies, no shame, and not an ounce of victimhood.
Fierce and vicious, but at its very core, healing.
An industry vet with multiple tours and self-released albums under her belt, alt-r&b singer Corina Corina has never seen an audience response like the one she gets when she performs “Toothbrush.” Her poised execution of this fresh take on the archetypical ballad of a woman scorned is reminiscent of some of her predecessors, such as Mary J. Blige, Stevie Nicks, and Alanis Morissette, and it reinforces the frequent comparisons she gets to the legendary Janis Joplin.
The second single on her upcoming third album, Hangover Music, "Toothbrush" follows the classic 12-bar blues structure with a fresh modern twist. Produced by her longtime creative partner, Willie Green (Backwoodz Studioz), the song features live horns, a filthy bass line and a timeless organ soul backbone.
For the past few years Corina Corina has been closing every live show with “Toothbrush” and, without ever releasing it online, the song has grown its own following. Her audience has been patiently waiting for their favorite cut: Fierce and vicious, but at its very core, healing.
lyrics
trust me now that I am through with us
there nothing left here to give up
something about you is poisonous
never deserving of my love
I should have just listened to my gut
when it said you're dangerous
now I'm getting rid of all of your stuff
scrubbing the floor with your toothbrush
trust me now that I'm through with this
feeling like wasted every minute
do what you want & I won't care one bit
oh baby you were never worth it
deep down I knew you were never enough
nothing amounted to very much
now I'm getting rid of all of your stuff
scrubbing the floor with your toothbrush
Hold on baby
I’m not through
I got nothin
left to lose
take everything I
gave to you
then set fire to that room
I'll take everything I
gave to you
then set fire to that room
trust me that you’ll never weaken me
not gonna cry or lose any sleep
i’m the one who’s gonna end up happy
sit back and watch baby you will see
i’ll never respect you matter what
fallen as far as I can out of love
now I'm getting rid of all of your stuff
scrubbing the floor with your toothbrush
take everything I
gave to you
then set fire to that room
I'll take everything I
gave to you
then set fire to that room
take everything I
gave to you
then set fire to that room
I'll take everything I
gave to you
then set fire to that room
take everything I
gave to you
then set fire to that room
I'll take everything I
gave to you
then set fire to that room
