about

Inspired by the electric energy of 1980's dance clubs and the gripping film '48 Hours', 'Big Mistake' propels listeners into a captivating musical journey. This propulsive dance hit revolves around a driving bass line, accompanied by stabby synths and layered percussion, creating an irresistibly energetic fusion. Recorded in Atlanta, Believe's poignant lyrics intricately weave a cautionary tale about love, subtly referencing the gripping cop dramas of the era. With its bright, bold, and catchy composition, VHS Celebs' debut single seizes your attention like the flashing lights atop a police car. Brace yourself for a nostalgic yet exhilarating experience as 'Big Mistake' transports you back to the pulsating atmosphere of 1980s dance floors.

lyrics

The more you want, the less you take
I'm gonna make you calculate
Take what you want, for feelings' sake
And it'll be your big mistake
Your big mistake
Your big mistake
Your big
Your big, big, big

I could give you love
If that's what's on your mind
Just to cuff you up
I'm working overtime
You're on the run, I'm on the way
To get you in the first 48
You break my heart or hesitate
And it'll be your big mistake
Your big mistake
Your big mistake
Your big mistake
Your big, big, big

I could give you love
If that's what's on your mind
Just to cuff you up
I'm working overtime
I'm rushing to the scene just to be with you
I feel like I might have to do some time
The way I'm hearing sirens when I'm seeing you
I know kissing you has got to be a crime

I could give you love
If that's what's on your mind
Just to cuff you up
I'm working overtime
You're on the run, I'm on the way
To get you in the first 48
You break my heart or hesitate
And it'll be your big mistake
Your big mistake
Your big mistake
Your big mistake
Your big, big, big

You set off alarms like the 4th day of July
I'm your first responder, lead detective, private eye
Bout to lock you down like this was Miami Vice
Cause the way you move your body, it has got to be a crime

I could give you love
If that's what's on your mind
Just to cuff you up
I'm working overtime
You're on the run, I'm on the way
To get you in the first 48
You break my heart or hesitate
And it'll be your big mistake

You're on the run, I'm on the way
I'll get you in the first 48
You break my heart or hesitate
And it'll be your big mistake
Your big mistake
Your big mistake
Your big mistake
Your big, big, big
