I'm thinking 'bout who I want, and I won't let go

Artist - Emily King
Song of the Day - Can't Hold Me

I first discovered today’s artist while following one of my

fav dancers, Nicholas Palmquist, teaching choreography to one of King’s songs….and
before you ask of course I don’t take dance classes. Like any normal person I follow
a bunch of ballet dancer boys on Instagram and live out my “Center Stage”
dreams. Speaking of, one of my other fav dancers, Robbie Fairchild, has been
performing much of King’s catalog on New York rooftops during this isolation
which makes me so happy and also made me realize that King’s entire catalog is
glorious and if you need a dancy pick me up take the time to listen through it.

Today’s song seemed appropriate since it’s discovering what
you can do for yourself better than anyone…. sure it might be implying
something specifically (insert blush here). But whatever you may be figuring
out about yourself or dancing on empty rooftops through, this one’s for you.

In the night, in the middle of the day
I call you over, but you always hesitate
Used to tell me, "You should leave it up to fate."
Now I that I never have to wait

Close my eyes, let down my hair
I'm thinking 'bout what I want, gonna take me there
Turn the dial on the stereo
I'm thinking 'bout who I want, and I won't let go

You can't hold me down, only I can do that
You can't hold me down, only I can do that
You can't hold me down, only I can do that
You can't hold me down, hold me down

In a T-shirt, in my satin lingerie
A little lower, little higher, change pace
Used to wait here, but you'd always be too late
Now I can go here, and I never have to fake

Close my eyes, let down my hair
I'm thinking 'bout what I want, gonna take me there
Turn the dial on the stereo
I'm thinking 'bout who I want, and I won't let go

You can't hold me down, only I can do that
You can't hold me down, only I can do that
You can't hold me down, only I can do that
You can't hold me down, hold me down

A-ya-oh-wa-oh-oh
A-ya-oh-wa, ooh ooh, you can't hold me!
A-ya-oh-wa-oh-oh
A-ya-oh-wa, ooh ooh, you can't hold me!

Thought you were my only love
But I found someone with the perfect touch
And ooh-wa, you can't hold me
I don't want to waste your time
Got a secret and it's mine all mine
Ooh-wa, you can't hold me
I used to have to wait around
Stay home, baby, I can hold it down
Ooh-wa, you can't hold me
Now I don't have to look no more
I'm the one that I've been waiting for
Ooh-wa, you can't hold me

A-ya-oh-wa-oh-oh
A-ya-oh-wa, ooh ooh, you can't hold me!
A-ya-oh-wa-oh-oh
A-ya-oh-wa, ooh ooh, you can't hold me!

A-ya-oh-wa-oh-oh
A-ya-oh-wa, ooh ooh, you can't hold me!
A-ya-oh-wa-oh-oh
A-ya-oh-wa, ooh ooh, you can't hold me!
