4 Digits Lyrics


When I be in the shower, she know that I leave it alone
So for at least a half an hour, she be tryna break into my phone, oh
I don't know what I did to make her feel insecure
But she gon' have to trust me, cause I ain't even doing no wrong

She won't ever get them four digits
No she won't ever get them four digits
She about to lock my phone, tryna unlock my phone
She about to lock my phone, tryna unlock my phone
She won't ever get them four digits

She so damn nosy, don't know why she be listening to her friends
That's probably why she on me, cause they niggas be cheating on them
She just wanna be up in my photos
She just wanna be up in my videos
She just wanna be up in my emails and my DM's

She won't ever get them four digits
No she won't ever get them four digits
She about to lock my phone, tryna unlock my phone
She about to lock my phone, tryna unlock my phone
She won't ever get them four digits

Now I lay me down to sleep
I pray the Lord my code to keep
If I should die before I wake
I hope this girl don't crack my bank
Face down, bring her off

What's crackin' baby, other than my code
Just came off the motherfuckin' road
Already it's another episode
I think shawty undercover on the low
You know I be on the phone talkin' real late to 'em
She be walkin' real late on me, getting straight to 'em
I be like "okay baby stay calm, it's just Jake from State Farm"
On the real, what you searching for?
The thought upsets you, seeing that I hurt you more
I'm out the game but you know that I gotta keep it player
Every night I say a prayer, she won't ever get the four digits

She won't ever get them four digits
No she won't ever get them four digits
She about to lock my phone, tryna unlock my phone
She about to lock my phone, tryna unlock my phone
She won't ever get them four digits

She won't ever get them four digits
No she won't ever get them four digits
She about to lock my phone, tryna unlock my phone
She about to lock my phone, tryna unlock my phone
She won't ever get them four digits

4 Digits Song Chart
  • This cut about an insecure girl trying to crack the password on the DJ's iPhone finds Eric Bellinger crooning the first two verses and the hook. Fabolous raps the third verse in which he prays she doesn't work out the four digits that make up the code.

    There are 256 possible combinations to the iPhone password, so the chances are it will take Mustard's girl some time to crack the code.
  • The song is a track from Mustard's debut 10 Summers album, which he dropped for free on Google Play a fortnight before its official release on August 26, 2014. The title signifies the decade-long stretch of hits the Californian beatmeister has produced during the summer season.
  • Mustard's usual ratchet instrumentation features sparse basslines and finger-snap snares but his beat for this track has a more mellow groove. "I hear a lot of people saying my stuff sounds the same," he told Billboard magazine. "When you're in my position, people come to you to give them the same sound in a different type of way. And once they're happy with it and you're happy with it, there's another hit record. But this album is going to show people I can do whatever type of music."

    Forever

    Forever May Not Be Long Enough for my love
    I have a will but I'm lost inside your time
    If you could, would you come with me to the other side?

    Comeback Lyrics


    Caught out, sleeping around
    He says it's nothing with her lipstick on his mouth
    And you might think he doesn't care that much at all
    But they always come back, yeah they always come back

    When he returns he puts you in a situation
    But it's too late to have that kinda conversation
    It's not your job to show this boy some education, no
    Now ain't it funny how we never seem to work it out

    We've all been played, we all get hurt
    Just take the pain and let that motherfucker burn
    And you know that in time you will find
    That they always come back, yeah they always come back

    They're all the same, they never learn
    So dig their grave, and let that motherfucker burn
    And you know that in time you will find
    That they always come back, yeah they always come back

    Dry your eyes Mr. Wise Guy
    But take a picture, it's the last that you will see
    Let's see how far this guy gets walking on his own feet
    But they always come back, yeah they always come back

    When he returns he puts you in a situation
    But it's too late to have that kinda conversation
    It's not your job to show this boy some education, no
    Now ain't it funny how we never seem to work it out

    We've all been played, we all get hurt
    Just take the pain and let that motherfucker burn
    And you know that in time you will find
    That they always come back, yeah they always come back

    They're all the same, they never learn
    So dig their grave, and let that motherfucker burn
    And you know that in time you will find
    That they always come back, yeah they always come back

    We've all been played, we all get hurt
    Just take the pain and let that motherfucker burn
    And you know that in time you will find
    That they always come back, yeah they always come back

    We've all been played, we all get hurt
    Just take the pain and let that motherfucker burn
    And you know that in time you will find
    That they always come back, yeah they always come back

    They're all the same, they never learn
    So dig their grave, and let that motherfucker burn
    And you know that in time you will find
    That they always come back, yeah they always come back

    Comeback Song Chart
  • This horn-led, feel-good cut about empowerment, independence and strength was released as the follow-up to Ella Eye's "If I Go" single. The song is based on a breakup the London soul songstress went through when she was 17, but written from the point of view of speaking to a troubled best friend. "We've all been played, we've all been hurt, just take the pain, let that motherf---er burn. you will find in time, that they always come back," she said.

    "If 'If I Go' was about whether or not I should leave a relationship, then 'Comeback' is the aftermath," Eyre added. "There's no more vulnerability, it's a very defiant 'f--k you.'"
  • The song's music video was helmed by Los Angeles-based director Jon Jon Augustavo (Macklemore and Ryan Lewis' "Thrift Shop"). The clip finds Eyre trashing the house of a cheating ex-boyfriend.
  • Ella Eyre told Digital Spy she is reality friends with her exes. "I let them burn to a certain degree and then I put out the fire for a while," she said.

    "I think that everyone has that moment, especially when they've been taken advantage of and they feel s--t that they have that anger period," the songstress added. "And I think that anger period is actually incredibly important because it helps people get over that initial pain and that hurt."

    "A song like this for me makes me feel better about certain things, especially when I'm feeling down," Eyre continued. "It's definitely a motivational song and it goes down really, really well live."
  • Eyre recalled writing the song during Camp Bestival in 2015 at the Guardian Literary Institute. "I remember once, when I was in Sweden writing 'Comeback,' we couldn't get the chorus right so we went off and played tennis and came back," she said. "Then we got halfway through the chorus and then went off and had sushi and then finished it. It's all about making sure that you enjoy the writing process. I don't want to ever fall out of love with writing, so I want to make sure that I enjoy it at all times."

    She went on to reveal how much she enjoyed composing the tune. "I think my favorite song to write was probably 'Comeback.' Not just because it's explicit but because I was having quite a hard time when I wrote it and it's one of those songs where I was fighting back and it made me feel better." She continued, "It's the kind of song you fight back and say 'nah I'm not going to take this' and hopefully people related to it in that sense. It was great to write because it was good to get off my chest."
  • When asked about whether she had to fight for the word "motherf--ker" to stay in the song, Eyre replied in her Guardian Literary Institute interview: "Yes and no, they battled against it because obviously it had to go on radio but I think anyone who heard the song knew that it was appropriate. Even my mum, who doesn't like me swearing."

    Let's Live For Today Lyrics


    When I think of all the worries
    People seem to find
    And how they're in a hurry
    To complicate their minds

    By chasing after money
    And dreams that can't come true
    I'm glad that we are different
    We've better things to do

    May others plan their future
    I'm busy loving you
    (One, two, three, four!)

    Sha la la la la la live for today
    Sha la la la la la live for today
    And don't worry 'bout tomorrow, hey
    Sha la la la la la live for today (live for today)

    We were never meant to worry
    The way that people do
    And I don't mean to hurry
    As long as I'm with you

    We'll take it nice and easy
    And use my simple plan
    You'll be my lovin' woman
    I'll be your lovin' man

    We'll take the most from living
    Have pleasure while we can
    (Two, three, four!)

    Sha la la la la la live for today
    Sha la la la la la live for today
    And don't worry 'bout tomorrow, hey
    Sha la la la la la live for today (live for today)

    Baby, I need to feel you inside of me
    I got to feel you deep inside of me
    Baby, please come close to me
    I got to have you now, please, please

    Please, please gimme some a-lovin'
    To gimme some a-lovin'
    To gimme some a-lovin'
    To gimme some a-lovin'

    Baby, gimme some a-lovin'
    Gimme some a-lovin'
    Got to have all your lovin'
    Gimme some a-lovin'

    I need all your lovin'
    Gimme some a-lovin'
    Now I need all your loving

    Sha la la la la la live for today
    Sha la la la la la live for today
    And don't worry 'bout tomorrow, hey
    Sha la la la la la live for today
    (Oh, no, no, no, no, no)
    Sha la la la la la live for today

    Let's Live For Today Song Chart
  • This song embodies the Hippie ethos of seeking love, not money, and simply letting life unfold: "We'll take the most from living, have pleasure while we can." (thanks, Bertrand - Paris, France)
  • Like Laura Branigan's "Gloria," this is a re-worked version of an Italian pop song that became a hit stateside when it was recorded with English lyrics. Even more confusing, the original Italian song was written and recorded by a British band.

    The Rokes were from England, but caught on in Italy, where they moved their operations. They began writing songs with Italian lyrics, including one called "Piangi Con Me," which translates to "Weep With Me." Written by band members David Shapiro and Ivan Mogul, the song was released in 1966 and became a hit in Italy. English lyrics were written by Michael Julien, a songwriter who worked at the group's publisher, and the song became "Let's Live For Today."

    The Rokes released their English version in the UK, which was quickly followed by a cover by The Living Daylights. The Rokes version got the attention of the American label Dunhill Records, which had their act The Grass Roots record it. This became the American hit version of the song - most listeners had no idea it began as an Italian tune.
  • This Grass Roots were formed as a studio act by producers Steve Barri and P.F. Sloan . When their song "Where Were You When I Needed You" (with Sloan's vocal) got some attention, they turned the act into a real band, recruiting an LA group called The 13th Floor to become the Grass Roots. This incarnation left after the band's first album, and the producers pulled in another group: a San Francisco outfit called the Bedouins, featuring the lead singer Rob Grill.

    This incarnation of the band recorded the Let's Live For Today album. Sloan left before it was released, but seven of the songs on the set (not this one) were ones he co-wrote with Barri. A new version of "Where Were You When I Needed You" was included on this album with Rob Grill singing lead. Grill quickly became one of the leaders in the group as they scored several more hits over the next few years.
  • The original Italian version is about a girl going through a rough time, with the singer offering comfort. The song's hook, however is universal: "Sha, la, la, la, la..." leading into the title. This is sung with a huge group chorus - a songwriting technique that would remain timeless. With these powerful dynamics, the song could have been in Swahili and still hit.
  • The "Sha-la-la" chorus is very similar to The Drifters' hit "I Count the Tears," which Doc Pomus (born Jerome Solon Felder) and Mort Shuman wrote. Pomus was upset about the obvious similarity, and even though lawyers called him to suggest that he should sue, he did not.

    Geoffrey J. Felder, son of Doc Pomus, told us why his dad never took legal action: "The main reason was because he was not that kind of person. If you were a thief and stole from him, as long as he could still support himself and his family (and no one was physically injured of course) he would let it go. He felt that you'd get what you deserved in the end. The other reason was that at the time the song was released he was under contract with Hill & Range (later to become Warner/Chappell) and they would have had the authority to sue and not him."
  • Creed Bratton, who played the character named Creed on the American version of the TV series The Office, played guitar on this song and sang backup. He was a member of The Grass Roots during their classic period of 1967-1969.

    Band member Warren Entner also played guitar and sang backup, and Rob Grill did the lead vocals. Two studio musicians contributed to the track: Hal Blaine played drums and Bobby Ray played bass. The album, which was issued a few months after the song was released as a single, was one of the first to credit the session musicians who performed on it. These studio pros - many of whom played on tracks by The Monkees, Sonny & Cher, The Righteous Brothers and many others - were typically uncredited so as not to take attention away from the artist.
  • This song marked a strange turn of events for group founder P.F. Sloan, who left before it was released. Sloan also released solo albums through Dunhill Records, but they never got much attention. The label was far more interested in his songwriting, and wanted to keep him behind the scenes. In order to step out on his own, he had to leave Dunhill and the Grass Roots behind. "The label didn't want me to be out on the road," Sloan said in our 2014 interview.

    Sloan released a solo album in 1968 on the Atco label, but left the industry a few years later, leaving behind a string of hits that included "Secret Agent Man" and "Eve Of Destruction." The enigmatic songwriter appeared just sporadically over the next 50 years, but is hailed as a groundbreaking composer/producer of his generation.

  • The music video concerns the plight of soldiers returning home and the horrors of post-traumatic stress disorder. The clip was written by the band and directed by Nick Peterson, who also helmed Five Finger Death Punch's visual for "Coming Down." "War is not pretty," guitarist Zoltan Bathory told Artist Direct explaining how the promo fits in with the song's lyrics about conflicted morality. "That's what happens. Even though these guys are doing a job and they're doing something for the greater good. As an individual in that situation, you don't know. You signed up. You're ready to lay down your life. You're ready to uphold the rules of engagement even though your enemy doesn't. It's a very difficult thing to go through."

    "Nobody really understands the politics," he continued. "A lot of information is hidden from us. We know half-truths. What if you got the wrong half of the truth? Imagine a soldier in the situation. He signed up to defend his country and all it stands for. Now, he has to go do things beyond what a civilian could even fathom. 'The Wrong Side of Heaven' was that line. That's what the song talks about. He's thinking, 'Is it right or wrong? I'm doing what I have to do. This is my duty. I'd like to believe I'm sent here for the right reason.'"

    Little Honda Lyrics


    GO!
    I'm gonna wake you up early cause I'm gonna take a ride with you.
    We're goin' down to the Honda shop, I'll tell you what we're gonna do.
    Put on a ragged sweatshirt, I'll take you where you want me to.

    First gear, it's all right (Honda, Honda, go faster, faster)
    Second gear, I'll lean right (Honda, Honda, go faster, faster)
    Third gear, hang on tight (Honda, Honda, go faster, faster)
    Faster, it's all right.

    It's not a big motorcycle,
    Just a groovy little motorbike.
    It's more fun than a barrel of monkeys,
    That two-wheeled bike.
    We'll ride on out of town
    To anyplace I know you like.

    First gear, it's all right (Honda, Honda, go faster, faster)
    Second gear, I'll lean right (Honda, Honda, go faster, faster)
    Third gear, hang on tight (Honda, Honda, go faster, faster)
    Faster, it's all right.

    It climbs the hills like a Matchless,
    Cause my Honda' built really light.
    When I go in to the turns
    Better hang on tight.
    I'd better turn on the lights
    So we can ride my Honda tonight.

    First gear, it's all right (Honda, Honda, go faster, faster)
    Second gear, Ill lean right (Honda, Honda, go faster, faster)
    Third gear, hang on tight (Honda, Honda, go faster, faster)
    Faster, it's all right.

    Little Honda Song Chart
  • Looking into the origins on this song on Forgotten Hits , Artie Kornfeld recalls riding with Wilson on a 60 cc motorcycle that the Honda corporation gave him for writing this song. Wilson pushed it way too hard and wiped out, inspiring the bloody riders to compose the Jan & Dean hit "Dead Man's Curve."
    "Little Honda" charted for the first time on September 12, 1964, while "Dead Man's Curve" made its debut on March 7, 1964. Investigating this discrepancy, Kornfeld contacted Wilson's mentor P.F. Sloan , who recalls Wilson writing the song for a Honda commercial.
  • This was originally recorded and released by The Beach Boys in 1964 on the album Four By The Beach Boys. As The Beach Boys were enjoying a #1 hit ("I Get Around") and had another song scheduled for release (#9 "When I Grow Up (to Be a Man"), producer Gary Usher assembled a studio group consisting of Brian Wilson, Kurt Boetcher, Glen Campbell, Chuck Girard, Joe Kelly, and Ritchie Burns to record this and an accompanying LP.
  • Background singer Ritchie Burns worked in a bank. He asked 3 of his co-workers to pose for the cover photo of the Hondells' LP. The group didn't actually exist until the single charted - then Burns toured with a Hondells group that he put together at the behest of Usher. (thanks, Brad Wind - Miami, FL, for above 2)
  • In 1966, The Beach Boys performed this song on The Andy Williams Show, but took out all references to "Honda," changing the song to "Little Cycle" so as not to provide a free advertisement. Williams sang with the group on the performance.

    Ugly Heart Lyrics


    Maybe I'm just crazy
    Maybe I'm a fool
    Maybe I don't know how to love but
    Maybe I do
    Maybe you know more than me but
    This much is true
    This little heart and brain of mine say
    We're through with you

    And I wonder does it blow your mind
    That I'm leaving you far behind
    I wonder does it stop your heart to know
    You're not my sunshine, anymore

    Okay you're pretty
    Your face is a work of art
    Your smile could light up New York City after dark
    Okay you're Coverboy pretty
    Stamped with a beauty mark
    But it's such a pity a boy so pretty
    With an Ugly Heart

    Maybe you'll get married
    And she will kiss your feet
    While I give all my rides away
    I won't loose no sleep
    Maybe on your honeymoon
    You'll think of me
    But if you don't won't shed a tear
    Yeah I can guarantee

    And I wonder does it blow your mind
    That I'm leaving you far behind
    I wonder does it stop your heart to know
    You're not my sunshine, anymore

    Okay you're pretty
    Your face is a work of art
    Your smile could light up New York City after dark
    Okay you're Coverboy pretty
    Stamped with a beauty mark
    But it's such a pity a boy so pretty
    With an ugly heart

    Okay you're pretty
    Your face is a work of art
    Your smile could probably light up New York after dark
    Okay you're Coverboy pretty
    Stamped with a beauty mark
    But it's such a pity
    A boy so pretty
    With an uh- an uh- an ugly heart
    An uh an uh an ugly heart so

    Okay you're pretty
    Your face is a work of art
    Your smile could light up New York City after dark
    Okay you're Coverboy pretty
    Stamped with a beauty mark
    But it's such a pity a boy so pretty
    With an ugly heart

    Okay you're pretty
    Your face is a work of art
    Your smile could light up New York City after dark
    Okay you're Coverboy pretty
    Stamped with a beauty mark
    But it's such a pity a boy so pretty
    (So pretty, so pretty) With an ugly heart

  • G.R.L are a girl group formed by Pussycat Dolls choreographer Robin Antin. This is the lead single from their debut self-titled EP.
  • G.R.L are signed to Kemosabe Records, so it's no surprise to find the label's founder, Dr. Luke, co-produced the song along with his frequent collaborator Cirkut.
  • The track is about a good-looking guy who treats his women in an ugly manner. "What we're saying to all the young girls - and even the young guys out there - is: You should have high standards," G.R.L's Simone Battle explained to Digital Spy . "Look for someone who is going to love, respect and cherish you. Not somebody who's just good looking."
  • G.R.L. founder member Simone Battle was found dead at her home in Los Angeles on September 5, 2014. Her death was ruled a suicide by hanging by Los Angeles authorities. Battle was recruited by Robin Antin to join the group after being a finalist on The X Factor USA in 2011.

    Breaking Up Is Hard To Do Lyrics


    You tell me that you're leavin',
    I can't believe it's true!
    Girl, there's just no livin' without you.
    Don't take your love away from me.
    Don't you leave my heart in misery.
    'Cause if you go, then I'll be blue,
    Breakin' up is hard to do.

    Remember when you held me tight,
    And you kissed me all through the night.
    Think of all that we been through,
    And breakin' up is hard to do.

    They say that breakin' up is hard to do,
    Now I know, I know that it's true.
    Don't say that this is the end.
    Instead of breakin' up I wish that
    We were makin' up again.

    I beg of you don't say goodbye,
    Can't we give our love just one more try?
    Come on baby, let's start anew,
    Breakin' up is hard to do.

Howie Greenfield penned the lyrics at Sedaka's urging, and then it was presented to Barry Mann (of Mann and Weil) for appraisal. Mann didn't think much of it, so Sedaka then added the opening "dooby-doo" part.
  • The 1975 re-release of this song at a slower tempo, on the album Hungry Years, was just an afterthought. But when it charted all over again at #8, that was his 18th Top 40 Billboard hit out of a career total of 21.
  • This song also charted for the Happenings (1968 #67 in US), Lenny Welch (1970 #34 in US) and the Partridge Family (1972 #28 in US and #3 in UK).
  • According to Sedaka, the song was inspired by the Showmen's song "It Will Stand."
  • One lucky shot that this song had was debuting on June 30th, 1962. This placed it in the perfect spot to start getting heavy airplay during the July 4th weekend, with vacationing teens at the parks and beaches requesting the song over and over again. Note to song promoters: Release your single right before a holiday weekend.
  • Shortly after this song came out, Sedaka married his longtime sweetheart Leba Strasberg. Now, the next part is unexpected enough that we have to cite Rich Podolsky's book Don Kirshner: The Man with the Golden Ear : When Neil proposed over the phone, Leba didn't believe him. So she asked him to put Howie Greenfield on the line. Howie came on and soberly advised her that Neil Sedaka was serious and that he really did want to marry her. They were married September 11, 1962. Around this time, Sedaka was second only to Elvis Presley in record sales.

    Say You Love Me Lyrics


    Say You Love Me to my face
    I need it more than your embrace
    Just say you want me, that's all it takes
    Heart's getting torn from your mistakes

    'Cause I don't wanna fall in love
    If you don't wanna try,
    But all that I've been thinking of
    Is maybe that you're mine
    Baby it looks as though we're running out of words to say
    And love's floating away

    Just say you love me, just for today
    And don't give me time 'cause that's not the same
    Want to feel burning flames when you say my name
    Want to feel passion flow into my bones
    Like blood through my veins

    'Cause I don't wanna fall in love
    If you don't wanna try,
    But all that I've been thinking of
    Is maybe that you're mine
    Baby it looks as though we're running out of words to say
    And love's floating away

    Won't you stay?!
    Won't you stay?!
    Slowly, slowly you run for me,
    But do you know me at all
    Some one told me love controls everything
    But only if you know!

    'Cause I don't wanna fall in love
    (No no no no)
    If you don't wanna try,
    'Cause all that I've been thinking of
    Is maybe that you're mine
    (You're mine)
    'Cause I don't wanna fall in love
    If you don't wanna try,
    But all that I've been thinking of
    Is maybe that you're mine
    Baby it looks as though we're running out of words to say
    And love's floating away
    Won't you stay
    Won't you stay

  • Jessie Ware wrote this song with Ed Sheeran in about 45 minutes in New York. The "The A Team" songwriter also plays guitar on the track. Ware told MTV UK, "it was one of those serendipitous moments where somebody somewhere was on our side."
  • Speaking to The Daily Star about her collaboration with Ed Sheeran, Ware said: "The way Ed writes and his work ethic is incredible. I have to give him so much credit for being able to write something that's so right for me and elevates the way I sing - he really pushed me hard."
  • The song's music video was directed by the Tell No One duo of Luke White and Remi Weekes, who collected the Golden Lion at the 2013 Cannes Festival for their short film Metamorphosis. The clip has a natural history museum setting. "When I found out Tell No One were interested in directing 'Say You Love Me,' I was so confident they would deliver something visually beautiful and provocative," Ware said. "They are such talents and I have been a fan of their work for a while."

    "It was probably the most technically challenging thing I have worked on, but for them, it looked like a walk in the park," she added. "They have such confidence in what they do, it was inspiring to watch."
  • Jessie Ware told DIY magazine that she admired how comfortable Sheeran is with being a songwriter. "It was amazing to watch," she said. "I didn't want to deny myself a song that's so beautiful. And it was so easy to write, which makes it even sweeter."

    "It wasn't this thing where we were sitting down going, 'How are we going to pull at people's heartstrings?!'" she added. "You know. It was literally instinct and that's so brilliant."
  • The closing section that sounds like a gospel choir is in fact just the voices of Ed Sheeran, Jessie Ware and co-producer Benny Blanco's own father and brother layered many times.

    Flora-Bama Lyrics


    Sitting here at the Flora-Bama
    Bout to open up a big old can of
    Good times, unwind
    Fall in and out of love in the same night
    In the same night

    There's ball caps, photographs, dollar bills, and bras
    License plates from every state nailed up to the wall
    Spring breakers, heart breakers, already getting loud
    Talledega's on the big screen, don't it make you proud?

    Sitting here at the Flora-Bama
    Bout to open up a big old can of good times, unwind
    Fall in and out of love in the same night
    Can't say I got a whole lot of cares
    I'm in the red neck riviera
    It's getting crazy, getting hammered
    Sitting right here at the Flora-Bama
    At the Flora-Bama

    There's high tide, low tide, years of history
    Hurricanes with different names that almost took the beach
    Sign that says live your life just for inspiration
    Gonna raise a lot of hell tonight in the, in the no shoes nation

    Sitting here at the Flora-Bama
    Bout to open up a big old can of good times, unwind
    Fall in and out of love in the same night
    Can't say I got a whole lot of cares
    I'm in the red neck riviera
    It's getting crazy, getting hammered
    Sitting right here at the Flora-Bama
    At the Flora-Bama

    Got your who died, Go Vols, roll tide and the seminoles
    Bulldogs, war eagle, green eyed gator that's barely legal

    Sitting here at the Flora-Bama
    Bout to open up a big old can of good times, unwind
    Fall in and out of love in the same night
    Can't say I got a whole lot of cares
    I'm in the red neck riviera
    It's getting crazy, getting hammered
    Sitting right here at the Flora-Bama
    At the Flora-Bama

    Don't it feel good?
    Don't it feel good?
    Yeah, don't it feel good?
    At the Flora-Bama
    Sitting here at the Flora-Bama
    Sitting here at the Flora-Bama

    Flora-Bama Song Chart
  • This song was inspired by the Flora-Bama bar on Perdido Key in Florida. It was penned by Kenny Chesney with David Lee Murphy (Thompson Square's "Are You Gonna Kiss Me Or Not"). "It's a very specific song about a very specific place, but it's also a song for anyone who has somewhere they go to let their mind unwind," said the singer. "It's about bein' easy, but bein' engaged. Because — as I've said — places like the Flora-Bama are what life is all about."
  • The song was given away free to fans who pre-ordered Chesney's The Big Revival album.
  • Chesney came up with the idea for the song after a friend told him about spending an entire afternoon in the Flora-Bama bar. "He'd just ducked in for a beer," said the country star, "and six hours later, he'd emerged with a bunch of new friends, a great time and the sort of memory you keep going back to."
  • Chesney said of the Flora-Bama lounge: "This place is so many things to so many people. It has been for a long time because they've shared life here. Friendships were born here. Relationships were born here. Every place you look, there's 50 years of memories. Lovers have written their names on the wall, they've declared their love for each other on the wall of this place."

    "That kind of stuff lives forever in the thread, in the heart and the soul of a place like this," he continued. "I feel like the people that come to this bar really do represent my audience and everything that we've built No Shoe Nation to be."

    Another Day in Paradise Lyrics


    She calls out to the man on the street
    'Sir, can you help me?
    It's cold and I've nowhere to sleep,
    Is there somewhere you can tell me?'

    He walks on, doesn't look back
    He pretends he can't hear her
    Starts to whistle as he crosses the street
    Seems embarrassed to be there

    Oh think twice, it's another day for
    You and me in paradise
    Oh think twice, it's just another day for you,
    You and me in paradise

    She calls out to the man on the street
    He can see she's been crying
    She's got blisters on the soles of her feet
    She can't walk but she's trying

    Oh think twice

    Oh Lord, is there nothing more anybody can do
    Oh Lord, there must be something you can say

    You can tell from the lines on her face
    You can see that she's been there
    Probably been moved on from every place
    Cause she didn't fit in there

    Oh think twice

    Another Day in Paradise Song Chart
  • This addresses the consequences of ignoring the needy and homeless. It's a rare Phil Collins hit with a socially conscious message.
  • Collins told The New York Times how the song came together: "It was begun at the piano. I started playing and put it down on a tape so I wouldn't forget it. Then I decided to see what would happen when I started singing. When I began, the words just came out, 'She calls out to the man on the street.' I didn't set out to write a song about the homeless. Those were just the words I happened to sing. It was only then that I decided that was what the song would be about."
  • Many of the songs from ...But Seriously were written in attempt to offset what Collins called middle-of-the-road song choices that made his reputation "a little more trivialized than I wanted to be." He had just played the title thief in the 1988 adventure comedy Buster, for which he recorded a hit cover of the '60s pop song "A Groovy Kind Of Love."

    He told Musician: "'Another Day in Paradise' was chosen because it was a bit different from what had gone on before. It would bring people back to the starting line of remembering what I'm about. I write 'In the Air.' I'm quite capable of writing a 'Two Hearts,' but let's not forget I'm also doing this kind of stuff."
  • This won a Grammy Award for Record of the Year. It also won the 1990 Brit Award for Best Single. (thanks, Bertrand - Paris, France)
  • Collins told The Mail on Sunday: "I wrote this after being in Washington DC where I was amazed by how many people I saw living in boxes."

    He also explained in a Musician interview: "I remember when we played Washington... Washington was almost at a standstill and these people were trying to sleep on the grills where all the hot air was coming up, and you could see that it was in the shadow of Capitol Hill. I thought it was an extraordinary contradiction."
  • David Crosby of Crosby, Stills, and Nash, sang on this. Crosby worked with Collins on and off through the late '80s to early '90s; Collins performed background vocals for Crosby's 1993 song, "Hero," from the album Thousand Roads. (thanks, Jeff - Kendall Park, NJ)
  • The black-and-white music video, featuring Collins performing the song interspersed with images of homeless people, was nominated for a Grammy Award for Best Music Video, Short Form. It was no match for Paula Abdul and her rapping animated cat: "Opposites Attract" won the award.
  • Collins also met the problem of homelessness face-to-face in London while cutting this single. He remembers leaving the studio and seeing a homeless woman with two children who were begging for money. While the song shines a light on the issue, it also made him realize that, when confronted with it, he reacted the same as everyone else.

    "What (the song) deals with is people's awkwardness with it. When it happened to me, I just walked straight past. I thought, I'm doing the same thing as everybody else... I felt awkward. I didn't ignore her but at the same time I didn't stop and give her some money... That's what the song deals with, people just sort of starting to pretend it's not happening."
  • Collins was criticized by the English press for singing about the poor despite being wealthy. He responded in a New York Times interview: "When I drive down the street, I see the same things everyone else sees. It's a misconception that if you have a lot of money you're somehow out of touch with reality."
  • R&B singer Brandy recorded this in 2001. (thanks, Cindy - Sydney, Australia)
