“Fighting For Love” is Dami Im’s first post-Eurovision single. It is another collaboration with Anthony Egizii and David Musumeci of DNA Songs.
She told News Corp:
I thought it was time to change it up, upgrade my look and sound…Obviously we had the overseas market in mind for my first release aft...
[Verse 1]
Hold me close
When you love
Love is low
I fill you up
Hold my hand
Feel the spark
Start a fire
In the dark
[Pre-Chorus]
When the times when the times are getting rough
When you feel when you feel it's all too much
My love
When the weight of the world is on your heart
No I won't let it tear us both apart
My love
[Chorus]
I'm fighting for love
'Cos love is the only thing I feel
I'm fighting for us
'Cos you are the only thing that's real
I'm fighting for love
(I'm fighting, I'm fighting for love)
I'm fighting for love
(I'm fighting, I'm fighting for love)
(I'm fighting, I'm fighting for love)
I'm fighting, I'm fighting for love
[Verse 2]
Don't give up
Don't give in
When the fears are creeping in
No matter what you think you're facing
What we have is too strong
Feeling it in my bones
[Pre-Chorus]
When the times when the times are getting rough
When you feel when you feel it's all too much
My love
When the weight of the world is on your heart
No I won't let it tear us both apart
My love
[Chorus]
I'm fighting for love
'Cos love is the only thing I feel
I'm fighting for us
'Cos you are the only thing that's real
I'm fighting for love
(I'm fighting, I'm fighting for love)
I'm fighting for love
(I'm fighting, I'm fighting for love)
(I'm fighting, I'm fighting for love)
I'm fighting, I'm fighting for love
I'm fighting for love
[Bridge]
When the times when the times are getting rough
When you feel when you feel it's all too much
My love
I'm fighting for love
[Ending]
I'm fighting for love
For love
For love
For love
(I'm fighting, I'm fighting for love)
I'm fighting for love
For love
For love
For love
Fighting For Love was produced by DNA Songs.
Dami Im released Fighting For Love on Fri Oct 21 2016.
Dami also confessed that the song is inspired by her struggles as an immigrant child growing up in white Australia.
I think a lot of my problems would be solved if I loved myself and thought people accepted me for who I am…When I was growing up, I was so used to hiding myself, pretending I was like...
