Airplane Mode by JESSA
I’m new to dating again after a long relationship, so I’m having a bunch of unfamiliar feelings, like becoming fixated on my phone when I’m hoping to hear back from someone I’m into, even though I know better.
My new single is about figuring out how to get over our own bad tendencies, even if it seems silly - in this case, just put the phone on Airplane Mode!
This song is a single from Simple Songs, my debut indie-pop album out on September 11th.
I played lots of fun guitar layers and sang some dreamy vocals that I wanted to feature on “Airplane Mode,” and my producer Devon Henderson really helped give the song a summertime chill vibe that I love.
Although this song might seem like it’s about pining for someone, “Airplane Mode” is actually about learning how to overcome our own shit, with whatever tricks we need to play on ourselves to do it, and reclaiming our peace of mind.

Lyrics
Caught me dreaming
Yesterday’s skipping like a record in my brain
Just a meeting
Nothing too serious - I know you felt the same
I swear I know better but I can’t seem to leave you alone
I’d give all of my guitars to stop looking at my phone
Ooooh oooh
Shake you off my mind
Ooooh oooh
It’s working overtime
Cause I didn’t even want to go
You’re the guy that makes me put my phone on airplane mode
Quiet scheming
How can I find out if he’s feeling it too
Feel like screaming
There’s so many other things that I’m supposed to do
I swear I know better but I guess I really haven’t grown
I’d give all of my guitars to stop looking at my phone
Ooooh oooh
Shake you off my mind
Ooooh oooh
It’s working overtime
Ooooh oooh
Sealed and signed
Cause I didn’t even want to go
You’re the guy that makes me put my phone on airplane mode
Airplane mode
Ooooh oooh
Aaah shake you off my mind
Ooooh oooh
It’s working overtime
Ooooh oooh
Sealed and signed
Cause I didn’t even want to go
You’re the guy that makes me put my phone on airplane mode
Airplane mode
