Mitski Clarifies "6-7" Lyric in "Rules" From New Album

When Mitski released her stunning new album Nothing's About To Happen To Me in February, some fans noticed the lyrics to "Rules" feature the numerical sequence "6-7." Yes, those numbers arrive when Mitski is literally counting up to 11, but any mention of "6" and "7" together is bound to spark memories of last year's endlessly popular meme/verbal compulsion, in which "6-7" became a meaningless, all-consuming refrain among young people. Thus, "Rules" has been gaining attention on TikTok in recent weeks, leading up to one concertgoer shouting the phrase indiscriminately during a recent Mitski tour stop.
