“U12” is the tenth song on Daya’s debut Album “Sit Still Look Pretty”.
In this song she expresses her need to find a lover, as she grows older.
[Verse 1]
Got sixteen candles, make a wish and blow them out
Hoping for those three words, you never say out loud
I know you play cool but I know you think about it
So make my wish come true, and do something about it
[Chorus]
All they're ever saying is we're too young to
Ever fall in love, but I know I want to
All they're ever saying is we're too young to
Ever fall in love, but I hope you want to too
(Too-o-o, too-o-o, too-o-o)
[Verse 2]
I don't know why they say young hearts are such a mystery
Feels like this thing we've got is part of ancient history
The way you look at me, kiss me, is so classic
So let the haters do their thing 'til they get past it
[Chorus]
All they're ever saying is we're too young to
Ever fall in love, but I know I want to
All they're ever saying is we're too young to
Ever fall in love, but I hope you want to too
[Bridge]
Three, four, five, six
Boy, you're my lucky seven
And I'm your ten, you're taking me to heaven
Three, four, five, six
Boy, you're my lucky seven
And I'm your ten, you're taking me to heaven
[Chorus]
All they're ever saying is we're too young to
Ever fall in love, but I know I want to
All they're ever saying is we're too young to
Ever fall in love, but I hope you want to too
(Too-o-o, too-o-o, too-o-o)
[Outro]
Hope you want to too
(Too-o-o, too-o-o, too-o-o)
Hope you want to too
(Too-o-o, too-o-o, too-o-o)
Hope you want to too
(Too-o-o, too-o-o, too-o-o)
Hope you want to
U12 was written by Leland & Britten Newbill & Scott Bruzenak & Farrago.
U12 was produced by Farrago & Scott Bruzenak.
U12 means “You Want To,” as explained on her Twitter that this is how you pronounce the track name. The “U” and the “2” are easily readable as “you” and “to,” but people may have trouble with the “1.” If you listen to the way Daya sings the line in the song, it sounds like “U-1-2.”
