“What a Time” is the sixth song on Michaels' first part of her first full length studio album, Inner Monologue.
The song was part of Michaels' setlist as the opener of Maroon 5’s 2018 Red Pill Blues Tour, although the song was only part of the setlist for a week. While it was initially performed as...
[Verse 1: Julia Michaels]
I feel a little nauseous and my hands are shaking
I guess that means you're close by
My throat is getting dry and my heart is racing
I haven't been by your side
In a minute, but I think about it sometimes
Even though I know it's not so distant
Oh, no, I still wanna reminisce it
[Chorus: Julia Michaels]
I think of that night in the park, it was getting dark
And we stayed up for hours
What a time, what a time, what a time
You clinged to my body like you wanted it forever
What a time, what a time, what a time
For you and I
What a time, what a time
For you and I
[Verse 2: Niall Horan]
I know we didn't end it like we're supposed to
And now we get a bit tense
I wonder if my mind just leaves out all the bad parts
I know we didn't make sense
I admit it that I think about it sometimes
Even though I know it's not so distant
Oh, no, I still wanna reminisce it
[Chorus: Julia Michaels & Niall Horan]
I think of that night in the park, it was getting dark
And we stayed up for hours
What a time, what a time, what a time
You clinged to my body like you wanted it forever
What a time, what a time, what a time
For you and I
What a time, what a time
For you and I
[Bridge: Julia Michaels & Niall Horan]
For you and I
For you and I
For you and I
What a time, what a time for you and I
What a time for you and I, yeah
What a time, what a time for you and I
[Chorus: Julia Michaels & Niall Horan]
I think of that night in the park, it was getting dark
And we stayed up for hours
What a lie, what a lie, what a lie
You clinged to my body like you wanted it forever
What a lie, what a lie, what a lie
For you and I
What a lie, what a lie
For you and I
[Outro: Julia Michaels & Niall Horan]
For you and I (For you)
For you and I (For you)
For you and I (For you and I)
For you and I, yeah

As shared in an interview with Patrick Crowley for Billboard, Horan is as genuine in the studio as he is in life:
To be honest, he’s kind of the same. He walks in, and he’s just his goofy, silly self. I can’t think of a moment where him and I aren’t laughing and being completely ridiculous with eac...
