About This Track

'Backseat' by Bakar is an alternative track from the album 'BEASTIE' (2025). The lyrics place the narrator in a backseat setting, calling for a taxi as they try to process a sudden departure. The tone mixes impatience with an almost teasing honesty about someone being “messy”, while the repeated focus on one thing staying on their mind suggests a fixation that will not shift quickly. A short vocal momentum keeps circling around the same emotional concern, culminating in the sense that the narrator is waiting to tell you something.

"Backseat" is a track by Bakar, from the album BEASTIE, released 18th September 2025. The track is 3:15 long. It's filed under Alternative. Full lyrics are available below. Dork has published 5 articles about Bakar.

Lyrics

Backseat

Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Uh-uh

I'm in the backseat
Calling your taxi
One thing stays on my mind
Why'd you have to leave so soon?
I just found the best in you
Uh, uh, uh, uh
I know you're messy
It's alright to test me
One thing stays on my mind
I can't wait to tell you
Why'd you have to leave so soon?

Those two weeks weren't enough baby
Come back here
We should talk it through some days
We can't compare
Those few days, girl
I swear it wasn't worth it
I said it, let's set our record straight

Where you going after today?
Don't leave here in a rush
I'm in a rut, ever since your love
It's lovely and it's loud and it's so scary
It's scary to see me, baby

I'm in the backseat
Calling your taxi
One thing stays on my mind
Why'd you have to leave so soon?
I just found the best in you
Uh, uh, uh, uh
I know you're messy
It's alright to test me
One thing stays on my mind
I can't wait to tell you
Why'd you have to leave so soon?

I pray that you come back around
I hate the fact that I let you down, down
I'll take a hundred rounds just to celebrate you
And I'm still waiting, how long should I wait?

Who saw you? So fearless
You got those brown-green eyes
Baby, your world's so alive
I won't tell you twice
Take this ride with me, baby there's just no time
World's wasted, and I'm gone too
You should follow my light
There's not a lot of time

For the sun to shine, for those brown-green eyes
Baby, those brown-green eyes

I'm in the backseat
Calling your taxi
One thing stays on my mind
Why'd you have to leave so soon?
I just found the best in you
Uh, uh, uh, uh
I know you're messy
It's alright to test me
One thing stays on my mind
I can't wait to tell you
Why'd you have to leave so soon?
Uh, uh, uh, uh
