The stories behind It's Not You, It's the Button

• Liner Notes: The Ukulele Duet Behind 'It's Not You, It's the Button' — A bedroom-pop bounce built around a comic boop, with a duet bridge that plays both sides of the joke.
• It's Not You, It's the Button: The Real Job of Watching Someone Fumble — A breakup-line bop about usability testing, and why a nurse's mistake with a new device gets treated as the design's fault.

Lyrics

It's not you, it's the button, every

fumble is a fine

Brand new pump and a real nurse,

real gloves, real noise, a real shift's worth

His thumb goes looking for the pause and lands on confirm

and there's our flaw

It's not you It's the button

Every fumble is a fun

It's not you it's the button

Better here than at the bedside

It's not a demo in a spotless lab

Real users, real room, that's what the regulators ask

So I write down every squint and every sigh

Every wait, where'd it go, and every second try

It's not you It's the button

It's the button Every fumble is a find

Write it down It's not you

It's the button, better here than at the bedside

Wait, was that me?

Did I do it wrong?

No, the button did, it was wrong all along

It's not user error, it's a use error I put the

design on trial, not the nurse

It's not you, it's the button

Every fumble is a fine write it down

it's not you it's the button

better here than at the bedside it's not you

it's the button it's the button better here

than at the bedside.
