Sky Ferreira visited The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon on April 4 to perform “I Blame Myself,” a highlight from her ’80s-inspired, lo-fi pop LP Night Time, My Time. Despite all that glittered and glowed on stage – her gold blazer, her silver socks, the lasers throughout – Ferreira was commanding enough to direct all attention to her lyrics, particularly a chorus that’s both defensive and defeated: “You think you know me so well / I just want you to realize I blame, I blame myself….”

Watch Ferreira perform “I Blame Myself” up top, then see her explain to The Tonight Show how she wrote the song after the jump. (Hint: Her second verse is based on a true story.)
