This song is written about her late mother, Jacqueline , asserting that the woman that was “everything” to her will always be with her, even in death. In early 2014, Jade put her career on hold to care for her mother when she “was diagnosed with an aggressive form of cancer in February”.

[Verse 1]
I realise though it took me some time
To see it clear, you're always here
Open my eyes and I counted from five
With every tear, my greatest fear
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Forget about the four leafed clover, everything they've told us
Still the one that we believe in
Subtly you showed up, fears are growing older
You can let 'em go and breathe in
[Chorus]
'Cause I got you here
I got you here with me
I got you, yeah
And you got me and we're
Lucky, lucky
[Verse 2]
Day after day and there's so much to say
My only hope's you hear me though
I speak to the stars but you shine in my heart
You're never far when we're apart
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Forget about the four leafed clovers, everything they sold ya
Shooting stars and superstitions
You're my lucky penny, pocket's never empty
We don't need no wishing wells when
[Chorus 2]
I got you here
I got you here with me
I got you, yeah
And you got me and we're
Lucky
I got you here
I got you here with me
I've got you, yeah
And you got me and we're
Lucky, lucky
Lucky, lucky
[Bridge]
Like a cat with nine lives we'll always survive
Keep on landing on our feet
Go ahead and roll the dice, let it [?]
Not scared of losing anything
'Cause I
[Chorus 3]
I got you here
I got you here with me
I got you, hey
And you got me and we're
Lucky
I got you here
'Cause I got you here
I got you here
And you got me and we're
Lucky, lucky
Lucky, lucky
[Outro]
I realise though it took me some time
To see it clear, you're always here
Nine was written by Beau Golden & Zac Poor & Samantha Jade.
Nine was produced by MdL & Tom Meredith.
Samantha Jade released Nine on Fri Nov 20 2015.
When I wrote ‘Nine’, I wanted to get a sense of positivity in even the darkest moments so it came with the reference of being on cloud 9 or a cat with nine lives. The number 9 has also always been important in our family, and our birth dates have some sort of connection with it too. The song is very...
