[Verse 1]
I've always adored ya
But you like me better backed up in the corner
I don't wanna go there
But every time we fight it feels like keeping my head over water
You're talking to me like you got any power
I don't wanna go there
[Pre-Chorus]
You make ultimatums
Don't you understand
All that's gonna happen
If you go to force my hand?
[Chorus]
I pick me
Every day, every night, every single week
I pick me
When you're holding me down I'll get up and leave
I pick me
Who I am and who I'm gonna be
I pick me
[Verse 2]
I don't need an owner
Can't you just support me the way that you're supposed to?
Every time you push me
I get even colder
[Pre-Chorus]
You make ultimatums
Don't you understand
All that's gonna happen
If you go to force my hand?
[Chorus]
I pick me
Every day, every night, every single week
I pick me
When you're holding me down I'll get up and leave
I pick me
Who I am and who I'm gonna be
I pick me
I pick me
[Chorus]
I pick me
Every day, every night, every single week
I pick me
When you're holding me down I'll get up and leave
I pick me
Who I am and who I'm gonna be
I pick me
[Outro]
You make it easy
I'll always pick me
You make it easy
You make it easy
I'll always pick me
You make it easy
Pick Me was written by Wafia & John Hill & Caroline Ailin.
Pick Me was produced by John Hill & Chong the Nomad.
A May 2020 NME article quotes Wafia saying:
I wrote this song… after coming out of a bad relationship last year. The break-up period dragged out way more than it needed to, but in all of our angry calls and texts I came to see how much he resented me and my career.
