[Intro]
Le futur c'est maintenant
[Chorus]
Ain't nobody gonna stop me
Don't you let the music stop now
You're more than just anybody
Don't give up, the future starts now
Worry 'bout it in the morning
Take it to another level
You're more than just anybody
Don't give up, the future starts now
[Verse 1]
One day everyone will notice
The world is yours and you should know it
So don't let love get out of focus
(Don't give up, the future starts now)
I know you can take the pressure
Turn it into something better
So take the pain and make it pleasure
(Don't give up, the future starts now)
[Pre-Chorus]
Le futur c'est maintenant
Un, deux, trois, quatre!
[Chorus]
Ain't nobody gonna stop me
Don't you let the music stop now
You're more than just anybody
Don't give up, the future starts now
Worry 'bout it in the morning
Take it to another level
You're more than just anybody
Don't give up, the future starts now
[Verse 2]
Lose control, take control
Anything you want tonight
On a roll, good to go
Let the moment blow your mind
Take your time, take your time, baby, it don't matter
Let it ride, let it ride, take it to the afters
Let your heart decide, let it change your life tonight
Yeah, you're almost there, you can almost touch the light
If you're lost and you find that you need somebody
In the dark, baby, don't you know the future starts now?
[Pre-Chorus]
Le futur c'est maintenant
Un, deux, trois, quatre!
[Chorus]
Ain't nobody gonna stop me
Don't you let the music stop now
You're more than just anybody
Don't give up, the future starts now
Worry 'bout it in the morning
Take it to another level
You're more than just anybody
Don't give up, the future starts now
[Post-Chorus]
Le futur c'est maintenant (C'est maintenant, quatre!)
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
[Outro]
Woo-ah!

“I felt so anxious at the start of lockdown, because for me the most anxiety-inducing thing is not being able to work and do what I love. ‘Future Starts Now’ came from trying to stay present, instead of stressing about the future and all the lost time.”

I was just getting back to writing after a couple months of watching movies and Anime’s, you know, just kinda of filling my crea...
