Another banger from Felin! "Favorite Toy" is nothing short of a loud outburst of energy from the very second the song starts. The musicality of the song really give off "ride or die" vibes meaning this is the song you and your bestie would be blasting once they distance themselves from a person that is toxic. The structure of the song is fun yet simple, but you can feel how fun this must've been to create for Felin. The lyrics of the song really captures a unique point of view that I'll dive into which it seems to be Felin's specialty. Being able to make an entertaining song, that feels historic and one that speaks to so many people is a skill.
The point of view that Felin went with on this song was the idea of taking negative, toxic talk and making a whole song out of it. Felin mentions how this song is meant to preach taking your power back when people are saying you can't do something. Felin is no stranger to this sort of critique but wanted to capture what they went through. There's no reason we have to treat each other that way and this song proves what can come out of something so hateful. My favorite line from the song is in the chorus when they say how these people need to get a life instead of wasting theirs, and I cannot agree more.
