Story Behind the Song
Around the time that I was leaving my day gig to pursue music full time, my vocal coach gives me an assignment: "Why aren't you writing? Write me at least a chorus by next week!" So I did, and finished the rest a while after that.
The song is about following your heart and not wasting any time in doing so. Like the Nike ad says: Just do it.
Lyrics
(verse 1)
I'm gonna shake up my world
And leave behind the way that I've been living
No time for traffic, 'cause it's time to move
Everyday is just another headache for me
And I, I am the one
I'm the one who can set myself free
(chorus)
...and I'll say
Be it right or wrong, I'm gonna do it
Find my place in the sun,
My heart says, "C'mon, c'mon"
Be it right or wrong, I'm gonna do it,
Never looking back I'm gonna do it,
Be it right or wrong
Be it right or wrong
(verse 2)
I'm gonna let it hang out
And do my thing, don't care what people say about it
Better believe it, 'cause it's coming true
I'll sing how I feel. And move to my own drum
And I'll tell ya, It's gonna feel so good
To see through what I've only begun
(chorus)
(bridge)
All the time that's gone to waste, yeah
Ain't going to fly by no more
Give the world, a little taste of
What they've never heard before
Set yourself free...
