- Corook stopped by Genius to discuss their hit song “if i were a fish,” which has gone viral across platforms. Although it's an uplifting song, it actually grew out of negativity.

Then, with the help of Olivia Barton, Corook crafted "if i were a fish." On today’s episode of VERIFIED, find out how they came up with their stage name and what inspired the buzzing new track.

The song meant to be weird or silly ended up being an inspiration to so many people, because it is full of acceptance, love and positivity.
but what about Taylor Swift
This song is so bad
The song is for autistic people. Glad you love it.
@@pohub3970 no
@@cruelsummerwithu god no
Them explaining exactly what kind of fish/rock/sock they would be was really comforting to listen to and wholesome
no way there’s only one person in the video and Biden supporter over here is using the multiple person pronouns?
@@Orincabysomeone must be having a hard day! I hope it gets better!!!
@@dslkgjsdlkfjdYou sentence doesn't even make any sense bro you're so obsessed with being a hater 😭
@@OrincabyYou know other countries in the world exist, right? Not everyone is American? And their can be used for a single person. You probably do it without noticing too.
the fact that this video has more dislikes than likes makes me really sad especially when they are literally the sweetest person trying to make others feel happy!!
How can you see the amount of dislikes?
@@willneilson its a web browser add-on/extension so it restores the dislikes so you can see the numbers just as they were before
@@rainbowpuppet77 oh righ
@@dslkgjsdlkfjd no i meant THEY because they go by they/them pronouns and im respectful of that just like any decent person should
@@rainbowpuppet77im a decent human and dont use they them pronouns to anyone, there are only 2 genders
I generally think the world is grade A trash but this person gives me so much hope with every song I hear.
FURTHERMORE this song still slaps with no instruments.
Slaps harder on mute
@@Vanchurez there was no reason to be disrespectful like if you don't like the sound then don't listen to it you don't need to spread your negativity into others positive spaces
@@rainbowpuppet77 Bro really wrote a paragraph because I don't like his favorite artist💀
@@Vanchurez This aint even my favorite artist you're just being unreasonably rude and disrespectful!
@@rainbowpuppet77 It's the internet deal with it
their singing voice is surprisingly very gentle
By gentle, you mean, "pairs well with ukelele."
Her*
@@harmonyqueue sure, gentle voices pair well with ukuleles so
@@ishowben2126 idgaf abt ur pronouns liberal
Their? Where’s the other person?
So crazy how people think there is a correlation between talent/skill and someone's appearance
Right? Why are people on the Internet so mean?
no one thinks that? also are you implying theyre ugly?
@@samp4368 there are people who absolutely think the two correlate.
Mike, so crazy how some people enjoy insulting others. I thought most of us learned kindness at age 5.
@@ilovefilmseattle Why’s everybody so afraid of what they’ve never seen?
I loved this genius video!! This song is so wonderful in so many ways and it’s great to hear from the artist the way they came about making such an impactful song.
I love what she said about i accept myself the weight I am but society doesn't. I'm a heavy girl myself and I can relate with that so much. So well said. I accept you! ❤😊
they*
they don't identify as a woman ❤
@@BlackCat11896but she is a woman
@@idontknowwhattocallthis5235bruv didnt even watch the video fr fr also my first comment was directed at you js
I feel so happy and proud watching you in this interview!!! Authentic and lovable and wildly pure talent ♥️🙌🏼🤗
I dont get why people have the nerve to be so rude to them? It literally proves the "whys everybody on the internet so mean?" Lyric. Like lesve them alone theyre just doing what they love, if you dont like it mind your own business and go somewhere else lol its honestly not that hard
My 11 years old daughter just introduced me to your song. And now, I’m in love with it and your beautiful self!:) keep shining Fish!!
I saw an ad for this on Tik Tok and most of the comments except for one or two were hate. I felt so horrible about it and thinking about it all of the ads I’ve seen on Tik Tok for new music artists have had mostly hate comments. Things like this absolutely break me as someone who feels for new artists and people trying something new. Like my teachers in elementary taught me: “If you’ve got nothing nice to say THEN DONT SAY IT.”
We accept so many out of the ordinary things in nature and praise them. Sad we can’t find that in each other 😔
Like?
Their voice is so sweet and feels like warm hug and friendship 😊
Their? I only see one person where’s the other one?
@@MBM0701 so I was walking to the store with Amy and Matthew but all of of sudden their voice was so irritating to me I decided to stop and say “Matthew, I know youre having some kind of schizo brain fart but can’t you please shut up thank you
@@Orincaby are thout alright sir?
@@Itsgonnabeok4 did you just assume my gender? How rude of you to not possess basic human decency. Absolutely disgusting how conserv**ives like you DARE to be so TRANSPHOBIC.
@@MBM0701 english can be hard sometimes. They can be used as both singular and plural
I love them and idk why they got so much hate. They look so fun to be around tbh
Ikr
“They”? She’s the only one there 😂
Take care, God bless 🙏🏻
@@basedat4651 do you not know what non-binary means?
@@Short_insomniac_ ohhhh, she’s one of those
That’s a sarcastic joke 😂
@@basedat4651 also *there. First learn how to use proper grammar before you judge people you don’t even know. Get a hobby or even a life
Honestly the most wholesome message for this generation ❤️ we are all different and we should be proud of our differences.
@@dslkgjsdlkfjdwho defines value of a person? Not everyone is lovable applys when someone is truely a bad person defined personally in my opinion as someone who continuously and knowingly hurts people and society. Your comment is just mean what a looser you are😭😭
Oh my gosh!! I saw her as an opener for a Jukebox the Ghost concert! It's so cool seeing her on Genius!!
I loveee their voice and this song
This song is so heartwarming. Corook for the win!
The comments here are wild. Way to support the song by proving “why is everybody on the internet so MEAN” is the realest lyric of the century! 🐠💚
Yes, pushing back against the degradation of society and desecration of basic human morals does require us to be a little mean sometimes.
it’s not being mean it’s just saying that maybe a woman like this shouldn’t be the type of person to get on genius
@@guaceldono7231the degradation of society is being happy and loving yourself and one another? LMFAOO you must live a sad life 😭😭
@@idontknowwhattocallthis5235why? It’s a song with a positive message and fun tune. Totally ok if you don’t like it but why activity go onto their video to spread hate it’s just wierd
@@idontknowwhattocallthis5235they are non binary
I feel like this song connects to a very fundamental part of myself that's like the child within that we forget most of the time. Thank you Corook and Olivia💐💕
They're like "If I were rock here are my specific dimensions, this is important," and I relate lol
I am so happy to have found your music! This song and the rest you have put out there!! Keep it up and thank you for sharing yourself with the world!
I dont get why they get hate they're so sweet
SO THANKFUL FOR COROOK. AMAZING adorable wonderful thank you
Love love LOVE Corook, met them at Maddie zahms show in SF and they were absolutely amazing and I love that I got to witness their musical journey
YES COROOK
So happy for you. This song is seriously my favorite. I love it n hope one day I get to see it live
people didn’t shame Adele dis bad 🤷♂️ idk wtf is wrong with people, just let people be and do what they wanna do 🤷♂️ they aren’t harming you
Do not compare this girl to Adele 😂 not even in the same realm
Kinda insulted at the idea that there's a human being somewhere in the world who thought to relate whatever-this-person-is to, of all people, ADELE.
@@harmonyqueue nope it's big tike insulting how some people who thinks a fish song is compare rolling in the deep 😅 yeah go razor crazy little drummer boy 😊
People did shame Adele some
@@socialist-strong not as hard as they do big people nowadays
What is wrong with this comment section? Its an upbeat song thats popular and you guys decide to attack their identity and appearence. This is whats wrong with society, everyone is against everyone else for no reason
Honk Honk
Humans are a disease. Yes I know it sounds edgy but one shouldn't be offended that another prefares to be called this instead of that or that they want to fornicate with this instead of that.
Love the song can't stop listening to it so catchy
Damn he got ratioed On his own comment😂🤡
@@dslkgjsdlkfjdif you think someone is a failure for enjoying a song that's a you problem
So glad to have found your song!!!! Keep doin what your doing Corook!🥰🫶🏽
🔥🔥🔥
I'm doing this song in my choir concert tomorrow and i love it. YOU ROCK COROOK!!
I love how in depth the sock description was, because I love socks too ❤😂
Such a fun soul
Corook is just an incredible human. I have fallen into the Corook rabbit hole and the weather is great in here.
Tbh I didn’t think I’d like this song but honestly I love it it makes me feel happy
I love this song, this is so wholesome!!
I think you are F’ing AWESOME!!! Your fish song brings such joy to me alone… so imagine all of the others who get joy from it… that is YOUR DOING!!!! So, thank YOU for bringing so much joy to this world!!! 🎉🤗🌈
My kids and I blast this in the car every time! Its gonna be a classic like Peter, Paul and Mary or something was to me. Like I'm sure they will show their kids and this song will live on for a long time.
Love seeing you here! Fellow nonbinary loving to see a fellow human soar creating beautiful weird art🩷🤍🩵
@@dslkgjsdlkfjdI love this guys comments
I love you SO MUCH!! ❤❤❤
Love her!!! Just so true and remind me of my childhood days, love it.❤
Your voice is awesome and these lyrics slap
Love this song! the people making fun of you and this song must have so much hatred in their hearts and I hope for them they find peace with themselves because it must be so exhausting to live like that. Let’s just be more silly! Let’s love more! Why live in a world of hate?
Your real name is Carrine Savage and you didn’t go with that as your artist name?!?!
It's actually Corrine, but yeah, they were blessed with a pretty cool name 😮
Keep being you hun.....hugs!
What a voice 🔥
This song is actually deep as hell wow
@@dslkgjsdlkfjdLOL FR
I love this song and everything it stand for ! It’s my ringtone
My favorite song rn, the upbeat is getting me through a bad breakup with a long term partner
Corinne Savage is an awesome name
Beautiful song from a beautiful soul in a beautiful body! God bless you girl ❤
So much love to you 💗
My favorite artist in general right now.
Your song has nice melodic elements that remind me of Nirvana! Think if Kurt Cobain heard this he’d like it! Glad it’s getting the attention it deserves.
It’s ironic that a fish is distinctly male or female.
"Heaviest in the sea."
I LOVE her voice

@@idontknowwhattocallthis5235 nah that’s just not correct
truly obsessed with corook and all of their music. this is only a taste of all their wonderful creative mind and i really hope this is just an intro for everyone into all of it ❤️❤️
Awesome song... Not easy to write feel good music but this is perfect x
and i SING ALONG
You so remind me of my sweet Keywii (Kaleigh). She’s always been a WYSIWYG(what you see is what you get) kinda girl. Keywii is the only artist that’s also a DV shelter program coordinator, something totally unrelated to her BS in digital media art-plus she has two pairs of identical mismatched socks.
I LOVE COROOK
I love this!!
Listened to one song from them and immediately got hooked on almost all of their releases
You're such an amazing authentic person and such a fantastic singing voice.
They just be letting anyone go on this channel
Facts man 💀
Anybody lgtv+
cry
So who should they be letting on here?
Its crazy
i really like this song :)
wow their outfit is the cutest, I mean the hat alone
Their*
❤ this song! ❤ her!
LOVELOVELOVE COROOK!!!
Crazy thing is rather you’re skinny or fat people will always find away to try and degrade you, it’s because people are miserable and that’s just facts they try and hurt others because they’re projecting all the hate they feel inside for themselves.
It's people like this that makes me think That the purge was a good idea.
You guys are so hateful that you see someone happy and immediately decide to attack them. What is wrong with people?
@@kazooplayer3 Because if you're on the internet, you have to be able to take chronicism if she's not able to take it, then she should get off
@@Vanchurez *they. The internet takes up so much of our lives today. It's kind of hard to not be on it altogether. Also, there's no rule that you have to take criticism. They had one line in their song about people being mean, there are so many songs that are all about that
wish olivia was in this! but i love this song. the song and this person make me feel more confident in myself
@@dslkgjsdlkfjd girly pop is soooo unemployed and unhappy with her life she HAS to reply to every comment to make sure everyone knows how much she hates living
@@dslkgjsdlkfjdthis is the second comment of yours I've seen like this. We get it. You don't like the song. But you're not better than anyone else for not liking it. Let people enjoy things.
WE LOVE COROOK!!!
steven universe and its consequences
It’s like an infection, slowly spreading
I'm so happy I found this song💕💕
I absolutely love that song and it is sung absolutely beautifully!
Remember when Genius would have like real stars on here and now they get no bodies that have 100 people shows
love it!
Real life is just a parody at this point isnt it
Love this so much Corook! 🥰🥰🥰
What's up with all the dislikes?
Guess
I wonder why hmmmm
@@idontknowwhattocallthis5235 Genuinely, why?
@@GeniusLad32 the only part that I don’t dislike about her is the gay thing
@@idontknowwhattocallthis5235 Intentional or unintentional misgendering?
we have the same name
That song is so great! It lives rent free in my head every day and I've also been stream it and Ok I. Spotify!
what a quirky cow with a frog hat
I hope your music career fails horribly. Coming from another unknown artist.
Music is about self expression and having fun, not bullying people just because you don't like their art and the way they are.
@@ihavehopeforu So your way of maintaining positivity and pushing back against bullying is by wishing misfortune on someone else. Nice job
@@guaceldono7231 I'm not gonna sit here and act like I have the right to wish someone else's career fails on them, you're right that's not the way to go about it. But do you really think them calling someone else who is just expressing themself "a quirky cow with a frog hat" is needed in the first place? I don't get why people don't just move along when they see something they don't like instead of saying what they should just keep to themself. If this person has the mentality that its ok to do that, in my mind why do they deserve a successful career themself if they're just gonna hate on others instead of minding their own business?
@@ihavehopeforuok but it’s funny so too bad
@@idontknowwhattocallthis5235 what part is funny exactly-?
did she draw inspiration from "if i were human" from princess and the frog???????
And BTW YOURE BEAUTIFUL ❤️
Toxic femininity
@@jesseavalos5685How?
Day 227 of requesting a deconstructed on Megalovania. If I were a fish, I could eat myself for a day, which would also be for the rest of my life.
She seems supaaaaa chill
I like the frog hat
1:57 I love how she embraces herself for who she is and i think her being happy being her is great. On the other hand trying to tell people that being overweight is a good thing may make them feel better but is not spreading the right message.
I know the goal is to not feel bad about yourself but sometimes you need to accept reality.
If any overweight person had the option to be skinny or in shape they would pick to be in shape.
My point is just that being fat is something you can work on to improve instead of making excuses and lying to yourself about liking being fat
Like the artist Jaleel this is someone I would love to smoke some flowers or dabs with. Just seems like someone I would fall in love with as a friend.
omg same
I wouldn't have it any other way. Internet needs to be unapologetic. IDGAF 😂
COROOK ON GENIUS
IKR IT FEELS SO WEIRD
I love this song more and more ❤🩵💛 you're the best corook!! So happy to follow your journey!
how we go from juice wrld and king von to this???
