On the show, EJ becomes fearful about his relationship with Nini because he believes Nini still loves Ricky, her ex. This leads him to steal Nini’s phone, with the help of Gina, who wants Nini’s role as Gabriella in the production. Ashlyn, EJ’s cousin, advised him against this but he did it anyway. Once Nini realizes that her phone is lost, she suspects that Gina took it and, as pay back, she stole Gina’s shoes. Nini shows the shoes to EJ and he realizes that what he has done is wrong and tells Nini she is better than that. He turns to Ashlyn to help him find a way to tell Nini and apologize to her. He then, with Ashlyn’s music, rewrites the lyrics as a means to apologize to Nini.
Lyrics[]
[Verse 1]
Before you go and make that face
You make when you're mad at me
So mad at me
Let me say it's not my place
Going through your voicemail
And your search history
[Verse 2]
And if this were a TV show
You know I'd have to go and plead insanity
'Cause the lyin' and spyin' and pryin'
Isn't really my personality
Oh oh, oh oh
[Chorus]
This is my fault, my bad
If I said a million sorrys
How about a billion sorrys?
Oooo
You shine just like the stars
And I'm not even a night light
'Cause what I did wasn't so bright
I'm really, I'm really-
[Chorus]
This is my fault, my bad
If I said a million sorrys
How about a billion sorrys?
You shine just like the stars
And I'm not even a night light
'Cause what I did wasn't so bright
I'm really sorry
