If this song was released in 2003 it would be a number one hit for sure

[@ViktorVonGhoulie]

@Karl M every decade had some excellence lol no need to be purists ya fools 2000s needed a revival though... too much 80s nostalgia in the past decade tbh we need a nice balance

[@EmpireAntz]

LYRICS [Chorus] Every single day I fight another war Every single night I feel more powerful Well guess it's what it takes to live it my way So the world will take me as I am [Verse 1] Don't underestimate me Make me feel like I ain't okay Your bullshit ain't fooling me One man false economy Underappreciated Make me feel like I ain't okay Your high praise ain't feeding me One girl false autonomy [Refrain] Well guess it's what it takes to live it my way So the world will take me as I- [Verse 2] Overcomplicating Makes me feel like I ain't okay You're waiting for me to fall You're so forgettable From how I understand it Everybody thinks it's okay (Is it okay?) To keep up the status quo Well, that ain't no more [Pre-Chorus] So, this is the last time that I give you anymore I don't think so, no, no, no [Chorus] Every single day I fight another war Every single night I feel more powerful Every single day I fight another war Every single night I feel more powerful So, guess it's what it takes to live it my way So the world will take me as I am [Verse 3] Come on You're trying conversate When I don't want to hear you talking Your bullshit ain't fooling me One man false economy Underappreciated Make me feel like I am okay Your high praise ain't feeding me And that ain't no more (Let's go) [Pre-Chorus] So, this is the last time that I give you anymore Every single day [Chorus] Every single day I fight another war Every single night I feel more powerful Every single day I fight another war Every single night I feel more powerful So, guess it's what it takes to live it my way So the world will take me as I am [Bridge] You think you're touching me With your clichés I've heard before You wanna turn back the time, make it rewind I wanna be myself and I Don't wanna sacrifice my life So, let it go [Chorus] Every single day I fight another war Every single night I feel more powerful So, guess it's what it takes to live it my way So the world will take me as I am Well guess it's what it takes to live it my way So the world will take me as I am

[@bananaman3981]

And look where she is now; a pop icon.

[@izabelregina7261]

how does it feel to be correct

[@noellawson41]

I'm obsessed; her music is like Utada Hikaru meets Samantha Mumba meets Christina Milian. Like a perfect snapshot of early 2000s with a slight J-POP/RNB vibe.

[@sarahjames4358]

omg I just said this! I agree

[@quack2354]

please tell me there is someone out there who understands me when i say that this song is Kim Possible coded❤

[@moontzu9895]

THIS IS SO GOOD BUT SO FAMILIAR AND SO POP, IT'S VERY UNIQUE. GREAT.

[@miguelcarrillo4603]

This made me think of Pink's first album so much it's uncanny... this is 00's and nobody can convince me that Rina is not a time traveler somehow :)

[@omggtheykilledkenny]

the beginning part of the song reminds of “perfect man,” by this kpop group. i forgot the name though, but it starts with an “s.”

[@charlotte819]

shinhwa!! i heard it too

[@aganib4506]

I know right?!?!?

wow i didn't expect this song to fucking slaughter me i fucking love this

[@robotinarowboat3649]

it's like she took the best parts of early 2000's pop and 80's synth/funk pop and combined them I LOVE IT

[@TheTacticalMess]

This production is too damn good. It’s like if Britney Spears was actually good (not saying she’s necessarily bad, people like her are to thank for this style of pop) and took an interest in a more creative approach in production. The producer is the real star here but her voice, damn.

[@TheTacticalMess]

Puff Puff Pass Lmao what’d I️ even do?

[@shiranturgeman892]

Puff Puff Pass lmao you pissed off a dumb Britney fan

[@twincherries6698]

The producer is Clarence Clarity, a real underrated gem in this decade. I HIGHLY recommend his album No Now. He also just dropped a project today titled Think:Peace, it's also great. Check him out! He deserves so much more recognition.

[@FraserM8]

Brandon Shave Not as much as 10-20-40 and the others imo.

[@musicalman1995]

He produced the whole album...

[@aibrainlet8041]

NP Richardson he just tamed himself a tad bit and imo i still think clarence's wild sound is amazing but this is incredible too, because it shows clarence is capable of reigning it in and making something that isnt as far out there but still has a super interesting and modern sound.

[@jarenyoung9389]

Jake Ybarra wait... did Clarence really produce this album? I was totally getting Clarence Clarity vibes from this but thought that was just a coincidence
