2023[]
On January 4th, 2023, after musicfan1994 brought up the possibility of the song being provided by Epidemic Sound, TipoDual said:
"I heard a lot of songs from "Epidemic Sound" library in small shops and food stores in my city for the last few years (including cafe like Burger King and KFC) but not in the shopping malls. I think that malls use another libraries. Songs from "Epidemic Sound" are always recognize by Shazam and similar applications."[2]
Sometime around November or December of 2023, TipoDual reposted the full song to YouTube, giving it the placeholder name "Twisted".
Sometime later, it was discovered that the song was written by Kathy Sommer and Andre Pessis after a copyright registry was found.[3]
Over time, the song was reuploaded to YouTube by several users, such as Q, S3V3R3DH3AD, Ofrix, S2h, and multiple others, amassing over 5k views.
2024[]
On October 31st, 2024, the song was identified by Discord user Funado as Twisted by Dana Calitri after he contacted songwriter Martin Briley.[4]
The OP didn’t accept the proposal at the time, doubting that Dana actually sang it, saying:
"Thanks for your proposal. Of course, in terms of performance style and a little in voice, it seems like Dana Calitri, and I considered this version about 8 years ago, but came to the conclusion that this voice is different and much younger than Dana Calitri’s voice. I don’t know what Martin Briley was telling you about, but there is no song with the title "Twisted" in Martin Briley's and Dana Calitri's repertories on the ASCAP, BMI and a similar sites. So I can't accept this proposal yet.[5]
remember a story from 2015, when a guy heard Dana Calitri’s song “I Met a Boy” in the gym. Then he wrote to Dana about this song, but she replied that she doesn't know who sings it. But later she told him that she sang that song. So many songwriters doesn't know who sings their songs or they're kidding us. https://www.allthelyrics.com/forum/showthread.php?t=158517"[6]
Lyrics[]
I'm not a saint like Mother Theresa
I'm not zen when shit hits the fan
Don't tell me it's my hormones raging
'Cause you wouldn't understand
Tell me, would it kill you to listen?
This is exactly what I'm talking about
Shut up, let me tell you what I'm feeling
Buckle up, you're taking the backseat
Don't mind me, I'm having a meltdown
It's my turn, you have to sit this one out
Sometimes your mind gets twisted
Don't try 'cause you can't fix it
And it'd blow like a volcano
If I were you, I'd just gotta lay low
Check it out, there's a pill for everything
Catatonic so you don't make a scene
But you like it that I go down swinging
I'm your little drama queen
Look out, there goes the China
Please don't try to put out the fire
Don't mind me, I'm having a meltdown
It's my turn, you have to sit this one out
Sometimes your mind gets twisted
Don't try 'cause you can't fix it
And it'd blow like a volcano
If I were you, I'd just gotta lay low
Look out, there goes the China
Don't mind me, I'm having a meltdown
Sometimes your mind gets twisted
Don't try 'cause you can't fix it
And it'd blow like a volcano
If I were you, I'd just gotta lay low
Don't mind me, I'm having a meltdown
It's my turn, you have to sit this one out
Sometimes your mind gets twisted
Don't try 'cause you can't fix it
And it'd blow like a volcano
If I were you, I'd just gotta lay low
