Songfacts®:

  • This was inspired by a G Pen Vaporizer that Aizo bought for smoking weed. She explained to Artist Direct: "The song started out with me talking about a guy and how I couldn't stop thinking about him. I was also writing the song while I was under the influence of this G Pen. For me, vaporizers give you a cleaner high. It's in small doses so it's not like you're out of this world, but they make you feel a certain way. I wanted it to be a double entendre."

    "That was one of my favorite songs to write," Aiko continued. "I wanted to convey my feelings of how 'The Vapors' make me feel. Keep in mind it could be about a guy also. I wanted it to represent how I felt about both without compromising or lying about the other. If you take it as I'm talking about vaping weed or talking about a guy, it makes sense in both cases."
