Alex Warren reveals Ordinary lyric even his wife thinks is 'sexual'
The 24-year-old star - who rose to fame on TikTok before the track because his first chart topper in the UK, US and beyond - has opened up about his huge hit single, and revealed his own partner Kouvr Annon is among the many people singing the wrong words to the track.
He told MTV: "Everyone thinks that lyrics is not what it is. I said, 'Oh my life, how do ya?' As in it will fade into the next thing and to be like, 'You take my breath away, how do you do that?'
"But everyone, including my wife when she first heard the songs, thinks it's 'All my life I'll do ya', in a sexual way...
"And so my wife one day was like, 'Hey by the way my mum listens to this song, why did you write it like this?' "
So many people have made the same mistake, so now Alex likes to sing the cheekier version live.
He laughed: "I thought it was hilarious as everyone thought it was that and it wasn't, so now I just sing it how everyone thinks!"
Despite his huge success, Alex admitted his rise to fame "doesn't feel real".
He added: "It doesn't feel real and I don't feel like I deserve it in any way."
The star can still remember being bullied at school after trying to serenade a girl he was with at the time.
He recalled: "I was in fifth grade and I was dating this girl.
"I decided to sing Grenade by Bruno Mars and dedicate it to her and I remember I walked right out, and I go, 'This is for...' and I said her name.
"But immediately the stage fright hit and I sat there doing a dance, I looked super, super... it was bad, it was really bad.
"And that is what kids made fun of me for all throughout middle school and high school, and I gave up when I turned 18 funny enough. (sic)"

Tammy Hembrow's ex's bombshell divorce claim, days after Bailey Smith date
It's been the headline everyone's been talking about this week – Australian influencer Tammy Hembrow stepping out with AFL star Bailey Smith. Photos and social media chatter quickly fuelled speculation that the pair are dating, just two months after Hembrow's split from Love Island 's Matt Zukowski. Now, Zukowski has addressed the news on his Where's Your Head At? podcast, admitting that while he was the one to end their relationship, seeing his ex-wife with someone else still stung. If you're well-versed in Zukowski-Hembrow lore, the detail of him ending their relationship might stop you in your tracks. At the time of their divorce announcement, the break-up appeared mutual, and some fans even assumed Hembrow was the one to call it quits. In June, the fitness mogul took to TikTok with a tearful video, telling fans she had 'no other option' but to end her marriage. She also said, ' I am going to be getting a divorce,' leading many to speculate she would be the one to file. Mentions of 'not making the best choices' and 'putting rose-coloured glasses on' were also brought up. Meanwhile, Zukowski said around the same time that 'both of us have struggled with this decision'. But in his latest episode, the 29-year-old reality star changed his tack, and claimed it was his decision alone. Hembrow's ex claims he ended things 'Yeah, so my weekend was a different style of weekend,' he began telling co-host Anna McEvoy. 'Obviously, everyone's seen it … my ex has moved on with someone'. He then confirmed, 'A couple of months ago, I made one of the hardest decisions of my life. I decided to leave a relationship that I found was not right for me. It was unhealthy for me. 'And I made the decision for my mental health to leave.' Despite that, he admitted it hasn't been easy watching Hembrow's dating life play out so publicly. 'In doing that, it does not make it any easier seeing the person that you loved, the person that you married, move on with someone,' Zukowski continued. 'In previous relationships I've been in … it's not a public thing. 'And there's things you can do. Block them, mute them, move cities even, tell your friends not to tell you anything about them. But unfortunately, with the relationship I was in, it's right there. 'So as much as I know the relationship was done, seeing the person that you married and once loved and thought you were gonna spend the rest of your life with, it's not an easy sight to see them moving on. When it's splashed everywhere, that sucks.' 'Not what you want to see' Zukowski emphasised that 'everyone's allowed to move on at their own pace' and he's not 'judging anyone for moving on quickly'. 'It's just like, oh wow, you know, wow,' he said, his voice sounding shaken. He then addressed the media attention, saying, 'Obviously when this stuff comes out, people want my statement, so I'm getting an influx of messages from different publications … and I'm not angry that it's happened. It's just not ideal to see. It's not what you want to see. 'I don't think anyone wants to see their ex moving on with someone. No matter how the relationship ended, no matter what, you still don't want to see that, especially when you've married them, and you thought that that was your person for the rest of your life.' Zukowski finished by telling listeners he plans to keep sharing his healing process with them over future episodes. 'I know I said that I wasn't going to address this any further and keep talking about it, but you know, things are going to arise as I go on the journey of healing and I have this podcast people listen every week and I think that I might share my journey with them and how I'm travelling and how my healing is going. So I'll keep you guys posted.' Hembrow breaks silence Hembrow seems to be taking a more lighthearted approach to the headlines. In typical influencer style, the 31-year-old shared a lip-synching TikTok on Wednesday with a message to people who have criticised her for moving on. In the clip, Hembrow mouthed the words from a Barbie movie clip that says: 'Don't be f***ing boring. This whole town is so f***ing boring. I don't care,' and rolls her eyes. She also appeared to be wearing Smith's jacket during the clip, which was a subtle hint that the pair are dating. It comes after the mum of three has shared several candid and emotional updates about her divorce. 'Hopefully, I'll be more cautious going forward and more eyes wide open and listen to the people around me …' she said about the break-up in June. Then in July, Hembrow filmed herself on a step machine and captioned the video: 'A step for every time I should have listened to my sisters'. Her sisters, Emilee, 32, and Amy, 34, earlier shared their concerns about the pair's relationship, calling Zukowski 'a big baby'. She's also shared various TikToks to lyrics like Taylor Swift's: 'Bitter but I swear I'm fine'. As for the reasons behind the split, Hembrow hasn't gone into detail about causes, only hinting at issues like her tendency to ignore red flags and 'get swept up' in relationships.
