Cover art for 57821 lyrics by Janelle Monáe

This song appears to be a narration by the Greek Chorus that shows itself throughout the album as backup singers (notice how most BGs are third person?). This becomes most obvious when you hear lines like "She wonders if she is/ he wonders if he is the one" which later gets echoed by "I wonder if I am/ I wonder if I am the one" Both characters are questioning their role in the events, and their importance.
