Teddy Beats and Jolee Nikoal – “Smile” lyric video

“Jolee and I got to record this song live last month. She flew out exhausted; 36 hours without sleep and a night of heavy drinking. We went straight to the studio, she took one edible and fell asleep for 16 hours. When she finally woke up, we recorded ‘Smile.’ This one is one of my favorites because it’s so bright and happy. It really does make you smile.” – Teddy Beats stated

‘Smile’ tells a charming tale about a young woman who would do anything to see her significant other smile. The sunny tune contains an endearing narrative, ear-pleasing vocals, and tuneful melodies. Also, “Smile” possesses upbeat instrumentation flavored with tropical-dance, deep-house, and electro-pop elements. Furthermore, the song serves as a tasty appetizer of what listeners can expect to hear from Teddy Beats and Jolee Nikoal in the near future.

“I’ve learned that there’s always someone out there who learns about your past and they love you enough to want to show you differently. No matter how low or worthless you feel, they’ll do anything to make you smile and feel like you are most definitely worth it. Also, it was a really strong edible.” – Jolee Nikoal stated

“I wanna play your games dear. Yeah, I’m trying to win your heart. That wall you got is tall dear, could take a while to tear apart. But I won’t go down slowly, got plans to stay awhile. All my chips out on the table, you know I’d do anything for that smile.” – lyrics
