Daisy

Ashton Nicole Casey is an American singer-songwriter and rapper who performs under the name of Ashnikko. Born and raised in North Carolina, she lived for a time in Estonia and Latvia as a teenager before basing herself in London. Ashnikko rose to prominence with her 2019 single "Stupid" with Yung Baby Tate, which gained viral popularity on TikTok and peaked at #101 in the US. "Daisy" is a single from her debut mixtape Demidevil.

When Ashnikko writes her songs she adopts different characters. She explained to Wonderland that for this empowering anthem she created a "vigilante" character "Daisy" as she wanted to make a song that is all about confidence. Ashnikko added that her bad-ass alter ego brings justice to the world: "She kills rapists and she leaves behind daisies as a calling card," the singer explained. "So in the chorus, it's like 'daisies on your night stand' so if you wake up and see daisies then something quite sweet becomes quite terrifying."

The first line of the chorus finds Ashnikko referring to her teenage self. I'm crazy, but you like that, I bite back Ashnikko explained on Instagram: "When I said 'I'm crazy but you like that! I bite back!' I was referring to when I was 13 years old and wrote Twilight fan fiction and used to ask my mom if I could get my canine teeth permanently filed to points."
