“So Am I” is the follow-up single by Ava Max after her 2018 Platinum breakout hit, “Sweet but Psycho”.
The electro-pop song details the tale of empowerment on how Ava relates to being different and how those differences makes everyone unique.
In an interview, Ava Max said that it’s
About what mak...
[Chorus]
Do you ever feel like a misfit?
Everything inside you is dark and twisted
Oh, but it's okay to be different
'Cause, baby, so am I (So am I, so am I, so am I-I-I-I-I)
[Verse 1]
Can you hear the whispers all across the room?
You feel their eyes all over you like cheap perfume
You're beautiful, but misunderstood
So why you tryna be just like the neighborhood?
[Pre-Chorus]
I can see ya, I know what you're feelin'
So let me tell you 'bout my little secret
I'm a little crazy underneath this
Underneath this
[Chorus]
Do you ever feel like a misfit?
Everything inside you is dark and twisted
Oh, but it's okay to be different
'Cause, baby, so am I (So am I, so am I, so am I)
Do you ever feel like an outcast?
You don't have to fit into the format
Oh, but it's okay to be different
'Cause, baby, so am I (So am I, so am I, so am I-I-I-I-I)
[Verse 2]
Oh, so dress up fancy like Sid and Nancy (Yeah)
Walkin' Killer Queen, gotta keep 'em guessin'
So, baby, come pass me a lighter
We're gonna leave 'em on fire (Ah)
We're the sinners and the blessings (Oh yeah)
[Pre-Chorus]
I can see ya, I know what you're feelin'
So let me tell you 'bout my little secret
I'm a little crazy underneath this
Underneath this, oh
[Chorus]
Do you ever feel like a misfit?
Everything inside you is dark and twisted
Oh, but it's okay to be different
'Cause, baby, so am I (So am I, so am I, so am I)
Do you ever feel like an outcast?
You don't have to fit into the format
Oh, but it's okay to be different
'Cause, baby, so am I (So am I, so am I, so am I-I-I-I-I)
[Bridge]
(Ah-ah-ah)
You're king and you're queen
You're strong, then you're weak
You're bound, but so free
(Ah-ah-ah)
So come and join me
And call me Harley
And we'll make 'em scream
[Chorus]
Do you ever feel like a misfit?
Everything inside you is dark and twisted
Oh, but it's okay to be different
'Cause, baby, so am I (So am I, so am I, so am I)
Do you ever feel like an outcast?
You don't have to fit into the format
Oh, but it's okay to be different
'Cause, baby, so am I (So am I, so am I, so am I-I-I-I-I)
So Am I was written by Charlie Puth & Victor Thell & Maria Jane Smith & Rollo Spreckley & GiGi Grombacher & Cirkut & Ava Max.
So Am I was produced by Cirkut & Smith & Thell.
The song was prompted for promotion few weeks before its release by encouraging Ava Max’s fans to join her #SoAmI movement on social media. The movement was simply to encourage fans about what differentiates them from the rest and picturing the imprinted phrase “SoAmI” on their hand.

The track is about just embracing where you come from and loving yourself and all of your flaws, because your flaws make you perfect at the end of the day. And it took me a long time to really reflect on that and see that, because growing up obviously in school, it’s hard."

So “So Am I” is really about embracing where you come from, who you are and loving all your unique features and knowing that nobody is like you. You are unique, you are beautiful, in your own way. I really like to have a message like that on my songs because I feel like people, especially in this ge...
I’ve gotten so many personal stories for “so am I.” It’s really touched my heart because it just reminded me of being a teenager and in middle school, and being bullied. I was kicked out of school in seventh grade because I stood up to a bully. So, I definitely can relate to that feeling. I got a me...
