  • Zendaya is an American singer and actress, who is best known for starring in the Disney channel sitcom Shake It Up and for being the youngest-ever contestant on Dancing with the Stars. This song was released as the lead single from her self-titled debut album on July 16, 2013.
  • The track was composed by Paul "Phamous" Shelton along with Tiffany Fred, whose credits include "Kleptomaniac" by Joe Jonas and produced by Mick Shultz. Zendaya told Radio Disney that the tune combines several types of music. "It's one of those songs that's creating its own lane or genre," she said. "I don't think it's pop, I don't think it's hip hop, I don't think it's R&B. I don't even know where you would consider it because it kind of mixes that pop sound beat with a very R&B kind of melody."
  • The song was originally written for another artist, but after months of persuasion Zendaya was finally given the go ahead to record it.
  • Zendaya was just 17-years-old when the song became an international club hit, resulting in the irony that she's too young to ever get in to hear it. "Ha, I'm in a club and I can't even go to a club," she said to Billboard magazine.

    Scared Lyrics


    Baby I can't live without you
    I'm slowly dying

    You live just me
    These rolls watching me bleed
    I'm screaming, I'm hurting,
    I'm begging you for mercy

    Forgive me for the things I did, the things I said, if you understand
    Forgive me and I'll forgive you

    For playing my heart like a cello
    Strumming me no longer, beating like a drummer
    Oh, I just wanna love that, I just wanna love that
    I just wanna love that, I just wanna love that
    I just wanna love that, I just wanna love that
    Scared of what it feels like to be alone

    Scared of what it feels like to miss you
    Scared of what it feels like not to kiss you
    Scared of what it feels like to be alone, yeah
    You're scared
    You're scared
    You're scared

    Know you, know me, it's just the shadows I see
    No savior, hell Marie, who's gonna rescue me?

    Forgive me for the things I did, the things I said, if you understand
    Forgive me and I'll forgive you

    For playing my heart like a shallow
    Strumming me no longer, beating like a drummer
    Oh, I just wanna love that, I just wanna love that
    I just wanna love that, I just wanna love that
    I just wanna love that, I just wanna love that
    Scared of what it feels like to be alone

    Scared of what it feels like to miss you
    Scared of what it feels like not to kiss you
    Scared of what it feels like to be alone, yeah
    You're scared
    You're scared
    You're scared

    Baby I can't live without you
    I'm slowly dying
    Baby without you I'm scared

    Scared of what it feels like to miss you
    Scared of what it feels like not to kiss you

    Love You Forever
  • This up-tempo '90s throwback cut finds Zendaya singing about falling in love on the dance floor. The track was produced by Nick Jonas and Paul "Famous" Shelton. "I knew Paul 'Famous', who did 'Replay,' and he did a few other songs on my album," Zendaya told MTV News. "And he had brought that song to me and he was like, 'Me and Nick did this song,' and I was like, 'Oh, I love it. Thank you!"

    Zendaya added that though she and Nick Jonas made music together, she never actually got to meet the ex Disney star. "I have tweeted him and talked to him over Twitter and talked to him through Paul," Zendaya said. "But I haven't been like, 'Hey, thank you,' which is funny, but I think we came out with a great song, and I'm very lucky to have him on it."

    Day Of The Dead
  • This is a track from the The Grohl Sessions Vol. 1 EP. The four songs were produced by Dave Grohl, and also feature the Foo Fighter frontman on drums. Brown first met Grohl while picking up his Grammys outfit at a John Varvatos store in West Hollywood. The former Nirvana stickman and the country star bonded over an interest in analog equipment and a friendship developed. in early November 2013, Grohl flew out to Nashville to record with the band. "I don't know how I tricked him into working with us, but it's really cool," Brown said.
  • Brown explained to The Hollywood Reporter that Grohl had not heard of his Zac Brown Band when they first met. "They just know we've had some songs on country radio," the Nashville frontman said. "And while we've got a great foothold in country music, that doesn't encompass everything we do."

    "Dave Grohl's street credit and the energy that was brought into these recording sessions, it's a big deal for us," he added. "I feel like it's kind of the tipping point."
  • Grohl and the Zac Brown Band took time out from their recording to perform this song at the Country Music Awards.
  • Grohl charmingly said that he was flattered that his name was being used as the record title. "He told me he wanted to call it The Grohl Sessions and I said, 'Dude, are you sure you want to do it?' It's the most flattering thing anyone has ever done for me," said the Foo frontman. "It's going to be really weird to click on iTunes and see a recording called The Grohl Sessions."

    Warm Winds Lyrics


    Hey, hey glory child, hey

    Hey glory child, don't you worry
    Stuttering, shaken off your fear
    Beauty's never given in a hurry
    So condescending, leave your questions here
    Hey glory child, don't you worry
    I can see your skeleton so clear
    Doubting's only made your visions blurry
    You're better off just looking in the mirror

    Show me a better way, I wish you could
    Show me a better way, I wish you would
    Come home today, you could
    Come home today

    I am shooting stars you will never see me
    Watching over your every mistake
    Digging out of graves is never easy
    Handing you my shovel, here to take
    Always playing catch me if you can
    Gingerbread you heard I'm sweet to taste
    Close your eyes let go and count to ten
    I'll keep track of every moment wasted

    Show me a better way, I wish you could
    Show me a better way, I wish you would
    Come home today, you could
    Come home today

    Dear God make me a bird, so I can fly far, far far away
    Dear God make me a bird, so I can fly far, far far away
    Dear God make me a bird, so I can fly far, far far away

    Call your phone on a late night
    I recall your soul had a taste like
    Gardens, flowers, Warm Winds

    The clouds below your feet
    Quit clipping on your wings
    Sometimes we hate to leave somebody
    Whats happening to we?
    Warm winds on a space ride
    When I call your phone on a late night
    I recall your soul had a taste like
    Gardens, flowers, Warm Winds

    The clouds below your feet
    Quit clipping on your wings
    Sometimes we hate to leave somebody
    Whats happening to we?
    Warm Winds on a space ride

    Sometimes, I call your name out loud
    Just to make sure it's you
    Sometimes, I crack my veins open
    Just to see if it's blue
    You clean me up

    Show me a better way, I wish you could
    Show me a better way, I wish you would
    Come home today, you could
    Come home today

    Sometimes I bite my lips and close my eyes
    Just to pretend it's you
    Long live, lonely thoughts on Thursday nights
    That's when I think of you
    We were all thirteen once
    Long live tramp stamps and Pepper Ann
    You will never judge me for that
    You will always love me for that

    Warm Winds on a space ride
    When I call your phone on a late night
    I recall your soul had taste like...

    Warm Winds
  • Solana Rowe is an American singer-songwriter from Maplewood, New Jersey who is better known as SZA. She first met members of Top Dawg Entertainment, the record label housing rappers Kendrick Lamar, Schoolboy Q and their Black Hippy crew, during the CMJ 2011. A friend attending the show with her persuaded TDE president Terrence "Punch" Henderson to listen to some of her material, which he liked. In July 2013 it was announced that SZA was the first R&B act on the TDE roster.
  • SZA recorded much of her debut Z album in Carson, California during the summer of 2013, where she shared accommodation with labelmate Rashad. The pair became friends and collaborated on each other's songs. SZA sang the hook on Rashad's 2013 single "Ronnie Drake" and Rashad returned the favor on this Mac Miller co-produced track.

    "Him and all his producers would kick open my door in the morning and jump on the bed and light blunts at 9 AM," SZA recalled to Billboard magazine. "Now we're each other's security blanket, in a way. We just get each other really well."

    Pearl Necklace Lyrics


    She's really upset with me again,
    I didn't give her what she likes.
    I don't know what to tell her,
    Don't know what to say.
    Everything got funky last night.

    She was really bombed,
    And I was really blown away,
    Until I asked her what she wanted,
    And this is what she had to say:
    A Pearl Necklace.
    She want to pearl necklace.
    She want to pearl necklace.

    She gets a charge out of bein' so weird,
    Digs gettin' downright strange.
    But I can keep a handle on anything,
    Just this side of deranged.

    She was gettin' bombed,
    And I was gettin' blown away,
    And she held it in her hand
    And this is what she had to say:
    A pearl necklace.
    She want to pearl necklace.
    She want to pearl necklace.

    She is so tough, as pure as the driven slush.
    And that's not true what she's talkin' about,
    It really don't cost that much.

    She was gettin' bombed,
    And I was gettin' blown away,
    And she took it in her hand,
    And this is what she had to say:
    A pearl necklace.
    She want to pearl necklace.
    She want to pearl necklace.

    Pearl Necklace
  • This one has mature content - it is about a woman orally pleasuring her man. When he is done she has a "pearl necklace" around her neck. (thanks, Princess - L-Town, OK)
  • While ZZ Top's songs can be highly offensive to sensitive ears, Billy Gibbons has an explanation why they tend to get away with it: "There is an advantage to being last in the record bin. I think when Tipper Gore got to Zappa, she just got so disgusted she didn't go any further."

    Made me grow
    Then you cut me down
    A north wind on a garden growin'
    You made me think you were mine
    Then you changed your mind
    I'm lost as a feather
    In a hurricane
    There's no way to measure
    If I'll ever ok, ok let me tell you
    There's no good reason why
    I can't move on
    I lay my heart on these tracks
    When your train comes along

    And it was All Alright
    Now it's all all wrong
    That's just a-how
    It goes when you're gone

    You may not realize
    All the lies at the time but
    The truth will find you
    That storm is gonna come
    Gonna wash you away like Sodom and Gomorrah

    There's no good reason why
    We can't move on
    I lay my heart on these tracks
    When your train comes along

    And it was all alright
    Now it's all all wrong
    That's just a-how
    It goes when your gone

    Go out in circles
    Like an old golden bed
    As cold as the pillow
    By your empty nightstand
    Then somthin' comes over me
    I lose my head
    I guess God did not make me
    A one woman man

    I'd have a lot to give
    If I still gave a damn
    That's just how
    It goes when your gone

    And it was all alright
    Now it's all all wrong
    But that's just how
    It goes when your gone

    And it was all alright

    All Alright
  • This story of heartbreak and deception is the first single from Zac Brown Band's second EP, The Grohl Sessions, Vol. 1. Foo Fighters frontman Dave Grohl both produced and played drums on the record.
  • Zac Brown had only praises for both Dave Grohl and the recording process. "We have a lot of freedom now that we didn't have before. We can record this amazing music and within two weeks, three weeks put it out to the people," Brown said in a behind-the-scenes video. "We just opened up to Dave and said, 'What do you think about this?' He said, 'Were going to track it to tape, we're not going to use any computers.' I just felt in my gut that it was the thing to do. I felt like everything I've ever seen him do was great."
  • Grohl told Rolling Stone about his work with the Zac Brown Band, saying: "The band is so good they can be tracked live; we didn't f--k with computers, we tracked live, four-part harmonies around one microphone. It's rocking. People are like, 'Oh, it's country.' 'No, it's not, it's like the Allman Brothers.' 'No, it's not, it's jam band.' I don't even know what you would call it, it's f---ing great."

    Do you remember
    Back in nineteen sixty-six?
    Country Jesus, hillbilly blues,
    That's where I learned my licks.
    Oh, from coast to coast and line to line
    In every county there,
    I'm talkin' 'bout that outlaw X
    Is cuttin' through the air.

    Anywhere, y'all,
    Everywhere, y'all,
    I heard it, I heard it,
    I Heard It On The X.

    We can all thank Doctor be
    Who stepped across the line.
    With lots of watts he took control,
    The first one of its kind.
    So listen to your radio
    Most each and every night
    'cause if you don't I'm sure you won't
    Get to feeling right.

    Anywhere, y'all,
    Everywhere, y'all,
    I heard it, I heard it,
    I heard it on the X.

    Heard It On The X Song Chart
  • This song is a tribute to the "Border Blaster" radio stations in Mexico, specifically the two that were run by the famous disc jockey Wolfman Jack, XERF in Via Acuna, (near Del Rio, Texas), and XERB, (in Rosarito Beach near Tijuana). Mexican radio stations did not have to adhere to the power limits of US stations, which gave them the ability to pump their signal well into the the States. (thanks, Ken - Boise, ID)
  • Billy Gibbons explained in a 1985 interview with Spin magazine: "All Mexican stations' call letters begin with X. The X stations used to be heard everywhere because of their enormous power. The Mexican government granted licenses with no wattage ceiling. The US, back in the '20s, established 50,000 watts as the maximum. WLS in Chicago is 50,000 watts, and you can hear it like a police call in Houston. I'm sure 500,000 watts you can pick up here in Canada. You can probably pick up XERF. It was just outrageous. You could pick it up everywhere and we'd go. And it would bury everything else. KDRC in Houston was on a close frequency, and they would get stomped on. They had to move. XERF is 1570 on the dial. I think that remains the most powerful station."

    Dusty Hill added: "They'll sell segments to anybody. There are a lot of preachers on there. I heard them one time selling autographed prayer cloths. They were to put on your radio when you're listening to these programs. But this one was autographed by Jesus himself. Then you'd hear a 15-minute country western show. Then there'd be a blues show. You could just buy your slot and do whatever. They didn't have a whole lot of restrictions."

    Asked if ZZ Top was ever played "on the X," Gibbons said: "We did, in fact. They do not have a pop music playlist, but the song was brought to attention of the station owner, who, it turns out, is an attorney in Del Rio who considers the station his favorite toy. He decided to have a 15-minute pop music segment, and we did get played on XERF and then on XERB in Rosarita. They also have XROC in Juarez. So it went full circle. We heard 'I Heard It in the X' on the X."
  • Members of ZZ Top share the same influences, which helped forge their sound. The first line of this song is a nod to those influences, which they heard on the border blaster stations:

    Do you remember back in1966?
    Country Jesus, hillbilly blues

    Dangerous Days Lyrics


    Dangerous Days Song Chart
  • Directed by artist Tim Saccenti, the music video finds Zola Jesus (real name Nika Roza Danilova) dancing by the lake and amongst the trees in Washington's Hoh Rainforest attired in a flowing woollen cape. "The song is a pure emotional plea, a future primitive call to arms," Saccenti said. "To create a moment of light in these dark times was our hope. Eschewing a heavy narrative we let the images of the Earth, filmed in wide screen and mixed with a tense unnatural presence, wash over the viewer while Nika communicates her powerful message."
  • According to Vogue magazine, Danilova's wool cape was once worn by famed American performance artist Marina Abramovic.
  • Danilova told Spin magazine that escaping to the forest is something that she'd love to do. "I'd inherently feel better about myself as a human being if I was removed from humanity," she said. "There's a sense of freedom in living out in the uninhabited world. I definitely fantasize about that."
  • The album title also references Danilova's love of nature, Taiga being the Russian name for the boreal forest.

    Legs Lyrics


    She's got Legs, she knows how to use them.
    She never begs, she knows how to choose them.
    She's holdin' leg wonderin' how to feel them.
    Would you get behind them if you could only find them?
    She's my baby, she's my baby,
    Yeah, it's alright.

    She's got hair down to her fanny.
    She's kinda jet set, try undo her panties.
    Every time she's dancin' she knows what to do.
    Everybody wants to see if she can use it.
    She's so fine, she's all mine,
    Girl, you got it right.

    She's got legs, she knows how to use them.
    She never begs, she knows how to choose them.
    She's got a dime all of the time,
    Stays out at night movin' through time.
    Oh, I want her, said, I got to have her,
    The girl is alright, she's alright.

  • In a 1985 interview with Spin magazine, ZZ Top guitarist Billy Gibbons explained the inspiration for this song: "I was driving in Los Angeles, and there was this unusual downpour. And there was a real pretty girl on the side of the road. I passed her, and then I thought, 'Well, I'd better pull over' or at least turn around and offer her a ride, and by the time I got back she was gone. Her legs were the first thing I noticed. Then I noticed that she had a Brooke Shields hairdo that was in danger of falling. She was not going to get wet. She had legs and she knew how to use them."
  • Feminist groups criticized this song for objectifying women, although ZZ Top had been releasing songs with playful, yet sexually-charged lyrics for years. Their first hit was "Tush" in 1975, which was probably more offensive, but the band was less popular then so it drew fewer protests.
  • The video was very popular. Just like their videos for "Gimme All Your Lovin'" and "Sharp Dressed Man," it featured Billy Gibbons' 1933 Ford Hot Rod, which he called The Eliminator. The big difference in "Legs" is that the main character is a girl.

    The video also had the same director (Tim Newman) and featured the same three Playboy models: Jeana Tomasino (later Jeana Keogh), Kymberly Herrin and Daniele Arnaud, but instead of sweeping a guy off in The Eliminator, the models rescue a girl who desperately needs some confidence. They give her a makeover and teach her how to handle guys to get what she wants.

    The band also appeared in the clip, but were secondary to the girls and the car. Billy Gibbons and Dusty Hill had been growing their beards for four years, so they were instantly recognizable, and the shot of their fuzzy guitars rotating when they took their hands off it became a classic early-MTV image. The network was in its third year and did not have a huge amount of videos in its library, and "Legs" became a mainstay.
  • Eliminator was the first ZZ Top album to use synthesizers. The new sound, along with the exposure on MTV, helped the album sell over 10 million copies.
  • In 2002, Kid Rock recorded this for the World Wrestling Federation album WWF Forced Entry. It was a tribute to WWF diva Stacy Keibler.
  • From a songwriting perspective, this one hits the mark as one that is instantly understood on a universal level, which gave it huge hit potential. Craig Goldy, who was a guitarist in the band Dio and later became a staff songwriter at Warner Bros., told us: "'She's got legs, she knows how to use 'em.' The first two lines, the story's done. Nobody's going, 'What's this song about?'"

    Sharp Dressed Man Lyrics


    Clean shirt, new shoes
    And I don't know where I am goin' to.
    Silk suit, black tie,
    I don't need a reason why.
    They come runnin' just as fast as they can
    Cause every girl crazy 'bout a Sharp Dressed Man.

    Gold watch, diamond ring,
    I ain't missin' not a single thing.
    Cufflinks, stick pin,
    When I step out I'm gonna do you in.
    They come runnin' just as fast as they can
    'Cause every girl crazy 'bout a sharp dressed man.

    Top coat, top hat,
    And I don't worry 'cause my wallet's fat.
    Black shades, white gloves,
    Lookin' sharp lookin' for love.
    They come runnin' just as fast as they can
    'Cause every girl crazy 'bout a sharp dressed man.

    Sharp Dressed Man Song Chart
  • ZZ Top were never considered sex symbols or fashion icons, but they were convincing in this song about how rich, well-dressed men are irresistible to women. This being the '80s, a silk suit was considered fashionable, although ZZ Top seemed much more comfortable in overalls.

    In a 1985 interview with Spin magazine, bass player Dusty Hill explained: "Sharp-dressed depends on who you are. If you're on a motorcycle, really sharp leather is great. If you're a punk rocker, you can get sharp that way. You can be sharp or not sharp in any mode. It's all in your head. If you feel sharp, you be sharp."
  • According to Billy Gibbons, he got the idea for this song when he saw a movie and a character was listed in the credits as "Sharp-Eyed Man" (possibly the 1981 film The Amateur).
  • The music video was the first that was a sequel. It picked up the story from the "Gimme All Your Lovin'" video of the down-on-his-luck gas station worker who is swept away by three beautiful women. In "Sharp Dressed Man," he's a valet, and he encounters the same three girls and is once again given the keys to The Eliminator, which is Billy Gibbons' 1933 Ford Hot Rod.
  • This was one of the first ZZ Top songs to use synthesizers. Mixed with Billy Gibbons' distinctive guitar sound, it gave them a new sound without alienating their old fans. It also helped that ZZ Top used their synths for bass, keeping the sound more heavy and less Human League.
  • Eliminator was one of very few albums that have sold over 10 million copies, earning Diamond certification.
  • This song attracted a slew of new fans to ZZ Top when the video ran constantly on MTV. Their long beards made them instantly recognizable. The fancy car and use of babes in the video also helped.

    The women in the video were Playboy models - beautiful women were a fixture of ZZ Top's videos and stage shows. The video vixens were Jeana Tomasino, Kymberly Herrin and Daniele Arnaud. Tomasina would later become Jeana Keogh and star in The Real Housewives of Orange County.
  • ZZ Top performed this at the 1997 VH1 Fashion Awards while male models walked the runway. In order to keep up their strictly heterosexual image, a bunch of beautiful women danced around the band during the performance.

    Homegrown Lyrics


    I got a piece of land out in the country side
    Lay back and smell the sun warm up the Georgia pine
    Been so good to me, takin' it easy

    Why would I ever leave?
    'Cause I know

    I got some good friends that live down the street
    Got a good lookin' woman with her arms 'round me
    Live in a small town where it feels like home
    I've got everything I need, and nothin' that I don't

    Homegrown
    Homegrown

    We got a fire goin', down by the riverside
    Sip whiskey out the bottle, livin' like we'll never die
    C'mon and stay a while if you don't believe me

    Why would I ever leave?
    'Cause I know

    I got some good friends that live down the street
    Got a good lookin' woman with her arms 'round me
    Live in a small town where it feels like home
    I've got everything I need, and nothin' that I don't

    Homegrown
    Homegrown
    Homegrown
    Homegrown

    I got some good friends that live down the street
    Got a good lookin' woman with her arms 'round me
    Here in a small town where it feels like home
    I've got everything I need (homegrown) and nothin' that I don't (homegrown)
    Everything I need (homegrown) and nothin' that I don't (homegrown)

    It's the way that you care for the things you think you want
    It's the way that you care for the things you think you want
    It's the way that you care for the things you think you want

    I've got everything I need, nothin' that I don't (homegrown)
    Everything I need, nothin' that I don't (homegrown)
    Everything I need, nothin' that I don't (homegrown)
    Ooh everything I need, and nothin' that I don't (homegrown)

  • This jubilant song finds Zac Brown singing of his Georgia hometown:

    Got a good lookin' woman with her arms around me
    Here in a small town where it feels like home
    I've got everything I need
    And nothing that I don't


    Brown is satisfied with the life he has in the small town that is his home. With his "good lookin' woman" and "good friends that live down the street," he is happy with his lot and has no ambition to leave.
  • The song was co-written and co-produced by Zac Brown with Jay Joyce, who also helmed Little Big Town's Pain Killer and Eric Church's The Outsiders albums.
  • This was released as the lead single from Jekyll + Hyde, the fourth major-label studio album by Zac Brown Band. The record is named after Robert Louis Stevenson's 1886 novella, The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, which follows a London lawyer who investigates strange occurrences between his old friend, Dr. Henry Jekyll, and the evil Edward Hyde. The Scottish author based his story on William Brodie, a respected businessman and Edinburgh town councillor by day and a leader of a gang of robbers by night.
  • The album cover shows Brown's face with two different-colored eyes. "We wanted the Jekyll + Hyde thing to be subtle," Brown told Country Countdown USA's Lon Helton. "We thought about doing the warped face on one side and regular face on the other, but it was too on-the-nose. So we got one of the best rock photographers of all time, Danny Clinch , to shoot the video, and one of his guys came up with the two colored eyes. I've had a lot of compliments on it."
