Continuing to feed his fans, Bazzi released “Paradise” on April 4th 2019, just three days after his previous release “Caught in the Fire.” Following a since-deleted tweet asking fans if they wanted more new music in the same week, Bazzi announced the track less than twenty-four hours before “Paradis...
[Intro]
One, two, three, four
[Verse 1]
Hands on your body, I'm grabbin' your ass
Enjoyin' the moment 'cause life move too fast
I'm lookin' forward, ignorin' the past
These are the times that we'll laugh lookin' back
I'm gettin' lucky like coins in the well
Goodbye to my haters, I'm wishin' you well
This is my year, man, if you couldn't tell
[Pre-Chorus]
This is our life and we livin' it well
Late nights in the city, causin' hell
Burn this bitch into the ground, oh well
If all we got tonight, let's do this right
Let's do this right
[Chorus]
Let's go to (Paradise)
This shit feel like Friday nights
This shit make me feel alive
I feel like we in paradise, paradise (Paradise)
Don't know if it's the drink I poured
But I swear I've never loved you more
With you right here, I come alive
One more hit and we can fly
This shit feel like (Paradise)
[Verse 2]
I'm feelin' it, my head's where the ceilin' is (Oh yeah)
This energy turns nights into memories (Oh yeah)
Count up the bands, you've been workin' all summer
Ex didn't know what he had, what a bummer
Insecure people turn to insecure lovers
Well, my drink is almost out and I'm about to pour another
[Bridge]
Just let it out
The night has just begun, we on a level now
If I get too fucked up, promise you'll hold me down
Yeah, this that shit you can't deny
This that shit you feel inside
[Pre-Chorus]
This our life, our time, we livin' well
Late nights in the city, causin' hell
Burn this bitch into the ground, oh well
If all we got tonight, let's do this right
Let's do this right
[Chorus]
Let's go to (Paradise)
This shit feel like Friday nights (Ooh, it do)
This shit make me feel alive (Baby)
I feel like we in paradise, paradise (Paradise, oh yeah)
Don't know if it's the drink I poured (Poured)
But I swear I've never loved you more (Loved you more)
With you right here, I come alive
One more hit and we can fly
This shit feel like (Paradise)
Paradise was written by Mike Woods & Kevin White & Bazzi.
Paradise was produced by Bazzi & Rice N’ Peas & Kevin White.
When asked about the track, Bazzi said in a statement to MTV:
It’s not about a location or vacation, it’s about portraying the feeling of ‘Paradise’ that can truly exist anywhere. For me, I always think so vividly of my Friday nights when I was in high school. I feel nostalgia and mystery around th...
“Paradise” was definitely about a feeling and not a place. What’s funny, humans we hear “paradise” and we think of like a beach or vacation but “Paradise” is about bottling this nostalgia of a moment. Paradise could be a place in your hometown. Paradise can be in a person or Paradise can be in an ac...
The production on the song was actually kind of interesting. I started this record, I was on my way to a show in New York. Traffic was so fucking bad. I was so bored I pulled up Garage Band on my phone. There’s a symphony on the Garage Band, like a Orchestra. I just started vibing on it, I was like...
So finishing it was interesting because so much of the record was actually done. The hook at the time was originally the pre-chorus and I had an entirely different hook written. We literally just got a hotel the next day in New York and produced it out. It’s interesting, the hook was actually comple...
During the week ending May 25, 2019, “Paradise” peaked at #91 on the Hot 100.
