Although Maggie started her music career in 2015, she started gaining more recognition in 2020 when Alternative Press named PARANOIA one of the top 50 most anticipated albums of the year. The same year, Billboard put “Scissorhands” (the third song on PARANOIA) on the Top 25 Rock Songs of 2020. She states “I’m so excited for the world to finally hear what I’ve been working on for the last two years” in anticipation of her first official body of work.
“She Knows It” is about liking a girl who had a boyfriend. Maggie says that after this girl would complain about her boyfriend to her and do things to lead her on, she would claim she “didn’t mean it like that” which would be incredibly frustrating for anyone having to deal with that. Maggie said “fuck it” and wrote “She Knows It” about that very situation.
The lyric “It’s like ecstasy when you’re next to me, think that you should leave him and stay with me” is a line that so many of us can relate to. It is feeling drawn to someone who leads you to believe you’re meant to be together and all they have to do is choose you… but they don’t. The song is upbeat and full of passion and I think it backs up the story behind the song.
