Tras el éxito mundial conseguido con su primer single, ‘This city’, y el lanzamiento del EP ‘Homework‘, Sam Fisher se une ahora a Demi Lovato en el single ‘What other people say’.
Compuesta por Fischer antes de que ‘This city’ se convirtiera en un hit, la nota de prensa de Sony Music destaca que «el australiano siempre intuyó que esta canción, de conmovedor y poderoso estribillo, estaba destinada a convertirse en un dueto. Dúo en el que -ella y él- nos hablan sobre no defraudar a la gente, desde dos perspectivas diferentes».
En palabras de Lovato: «Se trata de no dejar de ser tú misma, en el esfuerzo de agradar a otros». A lo que Fischer añade: «Quedar atrapado en las cosas equivocadas puede llegar a cambiarte».
WHAT OTHER PEOPLE SAY’ (Letra de la canción)
VERSE
Thought when I grew up I would be the same
as the ones who gave me my last name
I would not give in, I would not partake
In the same old drugs
everyone else takes
PRE – CHORUS 1
I’m better than that, I’m better than that
I’m living my life so I go to heaven and never come back
But look where I’m at, look where I’m at
i’m living the life that I said I wouldn’t and wanna go back
CHORUS
I used to call my mum every Sunday
So she knew her love wasn’t far away
But now I’m all fucked up out in LA
cause I care more about what other people say
I used to not take chances with god’s name
But it’s been so long since I last prayed
And now I’m all fucked up and my heart’s changed
cause I care more about what other people say
[yeah, yeah, yeah etc.]
cause I care more about what other people say
VERSE
I wish I could shelter the boy I knew
from the constant hell id put him through
Cause I’m all grown up and i’m black and blue
I could use some tape I could use some glue
PRE – CHORUS 2
I’m better than that, I’m better than that
I should be living my life so I go to heaven and never come back
CHORUS
I used to call my mum every Sunday
So she knew her love wasn’t far away
But now I’m all fucked up out in LA
cause I care more about what other people say
I used to not take chances with god’s name
But it’s been so long since I last prayed
And now I’m all fucked up and my heart’s changed
cause I care more about what other people say
[yeah, yeah, yeah etc.]
cause I care more about what other people say
BRIDGE
Thought when I grew up I would be the same
as the ones who gave me my last name
CHORUS
I used to call my mum every Sunday
So she knew her love wasn’t far away
But now I’m all fucked up out in LA
cause I care more about what other people say
I used to not take chances with god’s name
But it’s been so long since I last prayed
And now I’m all fucked up and my heart’s changed
cause I care more about what other people say
[yeah, yeah, yeah etc.]
cause I care more about what other people say
