About

“We wrote ‘FREEDOM’ on the Fourth of July. We started with the title first. Once we named the song, it naturally unfolded after that.

The lyrics of the song came to me as I envisioned that freedom meant in a universal sense."

FREEDOM Lyrics

[Chorus]
When I move my body just like this
I don't know why but I feel like freedom (Freedom)
I hear a song that takes me back
And I let go with so much freedom (Freedom)
Free to live (How I wanna live)
I'm gon' get (What I'm gonna get)
'Cause it's my freedom (Freedom)

[Verse 1]
I love how you talk
You speaking my language
The way that you walk
You can't contain it
Is it the shoes?
Jumped up, kangaroo
We're overdue for a little more prancing

[Pre-Chorus]
Now it's your time
(It's your right)
You can shine
(It's alright)
If you do
I'ma do, too

[Chorus]
When I move my body just like this
I don't know why but I feel like freedom (Freedom)
I hear a song that takes me back
And I let go with so much freedom (Freedom)
Free to live (How I wanna live)
I'm gon' get (What I'm gonna get)
'Cause it's my freedom (Freedom)

[Verse 2]
The reason we get down is to get back up
If someone's around, go on, let them look
You can't stand still, this ain't no drill
More than cheap thrills (Feel like money, money, money)

[Pre-Chorus]
Now it's your time
(It's your right)
You can shine
(It's alright)
If you do
I'ma do, too

[Interlude]
'Cause when I look up to the stars (Stars)
I know exactly who we are (Ooh)
'Cause then, I see you shine
You shinin'
You shinin', oh!
Free to be!
(Everybody come on) (Freedom!)
(Everybody come 'round)
(Everybody come on)
Come on now
(Everybody)

[Refrain]
I'm stuck to the dance floor
With the, with the whole tape
With the, with the, with the whole tape
(Let me see you wobble)
I'm stuck to the dance floor
With the, with the whole tape
With the, with the, with the whole tape
(Let me see you shake)
Give you just what you ask for
Givin' you the whole shake
I'ma give you the whole shake
(Let me see you wobble)
I'm stuck to the dance floor
With the, with the whole tape
With the, with the, with the whole tape
(Can you make it break?)

[Pre-Chorus]
I say, yeah (Yeah)
Oh, yeah (Oh, yeah)
(Let me see you wobble)
'Cause, you do
I'ma do, too

[Chorus]
When I move my body just like this
I don't know why but I feel like freedom (Freedom)
I hear a song that takes me back
And I let go with so much freedom (Freedom)
Free to live (How I wanna live)
I'm gon' get (What I'm gonna get)
'Cause it's my freedom (Freedom)
