Who I Am Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I was building my armour, so I could fit in
To avoid any drama, I would shut my mouth, I hid (Hid)
I was lost in the ruins of who I thought I should be
I forgot I was human, I must set my body free (Free)
[Pre-Chorus]
They don't recognize when I'm being honest
'Cause I wasn't before
No, they may not like it but I'm not sorry
[Chorus]
That's who I am
No, I've got nothing left to hide, hide
I'm comfortable with what’s inside-side (That's who I am)
You think you've known me all this time, time
But the real me is mine (That's who I am)
That's who I am
[Verse 2]
When I look in the mirror, I finally like what I see
There's been so many changes
I accept they're a part of me
[Pre-Chorus]
They don't recognize when I'm being honest
Because I wasn't before
No, they may not like it but I'm not sorry (I'm not sorry)
[Chorus]
That's who I am
No, I've got nothing left to hide, hide
I'm comfortable with what’s inside-side (That's who I am)
You think you've known me all this time, time
But the real me is mine (That's who I am)
[Post-Chorus]
That's who I am
That's who I am
(Don't recognize me, -nize me, -nize me)
[Chorus]
That's who I am
No, I've got nothing left to hide, hide
I'm comfortable with what’s inside-side (That's who I am)
You think you've known me all this time, time
But the real me is mine (That's who I am)
[Outro]
I'm ready to drop my armour
It will make me stronger
Drop my armour, that's who I am
I'm ready to drop my armour
It will make me stronger
Drop my armour
That's who I am

What did Melanie C say about "Who I Am"?
Speaking to Stereoboard in March 2020, Mel said:
Who I Am is a very personal and reflective song. It’s about how I’ve changed and developed through my life. The more courage I’ve found, the more I have been able to express myself and grow into the woman I now am.
What have the artists said about the song?
I wrote this with Biff Stannard, who I’ve written with since my Spice Girls days, and Bryn Christopher, who I hadn’t worked with before. So it was a really nice combination of having that history and the security to be vulnerable, and then having someone new and fresh in the mix. It’s about how I’ve...
