After months of waiting, The Idol landed on HBO on June 2023, allowing viewers to finally enjoy the provocation and beauty of Lily-Rose Depp and The Weeknd on screen. The protagonist is Jocelyn, a famous pop star with a nervous breakdown that will bring her into Tedros’ arms. The soundtrack has a significant role in the TV series: we already talked about the trailer song and Popular, the track The Weeknd released with Playboi Carti and Madonna. Another song takes a relevant space in the plot: the single released by Jocelyn in those days. Let’s discover more about the song World Class Sinner, who sings it in the show, its lyrics and meaning.

You can watch the official trailer for HBO’s The Idol here on Youtube.

The Idol: what’s the song Jocelyn releases in the series?

Jocelyn is the famous pop star protagonist of the HBO series The Idol. She’s depicted as a worldwide renowned artist, often compared to Britney Spears or Donna Summer. In the days when the plot evolves, she’s releasing a new single, and we see her singing it and dancing over the choreography for the official video.

The single Jocelyn is releasing in The Idol is called World Class Sinner. It’s a song written on purpose for the HBO series, and the actress Lily-Rose Depp is the one who actually sings the song. You can listen to it in the full version below.

The song is part of The Idol official soundtrack, set for release on June 30, 2023. Below you can find part of the lyrics:

I’m just a freak, yeah
You know I want it bad
And we can meet, yeah
But I don’t need to know your name
You can pull my hair
Touch me anywhere
Ball and chain
I’m just a freak, yeah
So show me why you came

Baby, ain’t nothing free
Specially not with me
Better have a bank account
If you wanna see what I’m about

World Class Sinner represents the most provocative song the pop star Jocelyn has ever released. In the lyrics, she exposes her most materialistic side, admitting she’s ready for wild passion and attracted by money. The singer in the series doesn’t feel entirely at ease with those lyrics: Joss says she feels “embarrassed” by its message. Nevertheless, everybody around her is sure the single works perfectly for the pop industry and represents something different than anything she ever wrote.

The single will be released during the episodes of The Idol Season 1: you have the chance to see by yourself if it will be a success or a flop.

Below you can find the complete lyrics of World Class Sinner, the song Jocelyn releases in the plot of The Idol.

Baby, it’s hard to see
When you’re lookin’ at me
But I do what I want
Don’t give a f–k at all
Lookin’ for something sweet
When it comes time to eat
You better start to run when I call

‘Cause I know that you don’t really know how to handle it
So get down on your knees and get ready to become my b- -h

I’m just a freak, yeah
You know I want it bad
And we can meet, yeah
But I don’t need to know your name
You can pull my hair
Touch me anywhere
Ball and chain
I’m just a freak, yeah
So show me why you came

Baby, ain’t nothing free
Specially not with me
Better have a bank account
If you wanna see what I’m about
I’m a good girl gone bad
Get in the car, drive fast
Gеt on the road
Take off my clothes

‘Cause you’re dumb but you’re cute
That’s a good enough ratio (Ratio, ratio)
And I’m wild as a stallion
So come and join the rodeo (Rodeo, uh)

You know I want it bad (Want it bad)
And we can meet, yeah
But I don’t need to know your name (Know your name)
You can pull my hair
Touch me anywhere
Whip and chains (Whip and chains)
I’m just a freak, yeah (Freak, yeah)
So show me why you came (Why you came)

I’m a motherf–ing world-class sinner
Sinner, woah (Touch me, touch me, touch me, touch me), hey
I’m a motherf–ing world-class sinner
No beginner, no (Touch me, touch me, touch me, touch me), hey

I’m just a freak, yeah (Freak, yeah)
And I don’t wanna change (Don’t wanna change)
And every weekend (Weekend)
I’m tryna find someone to bang (Wanna bang)
You can pull my hair
Touch me anywhere
Whip and chains (Whip and chains)
I’m just a freak, yeah (Freak, yeah)
So show me why you came
