And "Dangerous"? Here's what Eliza says about the song that is taking the Internet by storm:

It's about falling for the guy you're not supposed to fall for- it's that moment when you decide the risk is worth it, no matter how many times your friends told you he's a bad idea. There's something thrilling about wanting someone so unattainable, like you know you shouldn't like him but you just can't control that feeling. He was way out of my league but I didn't care. And dangerous was my way expressing that freeing feeling when you realize it doesn't matter that all odds are against you, because you can't choose who you fall for. It just kind of happens.
