[Verse 1]
They gave you thirty seconds
On a Friday afternoon
You rode that tiny rocket
Straight across the moon
Name up on the ticker
Spinning like a dare
Crowd could hum the melody
Couldn’t say who you were there
[Pre-Chorus]
I see your cover in a crate at the thrift store
One track circled like a halo
Wanting one more
[Chorus]
[High-pitched female voice]
One hit wonder
Blink and you’re gone
You burned so bright
Then they changed the song (oh)
Top 100
Then you slipped through
They sing that line but forget it’s you
One hit wonder
Stuck in their heads
Forever replayed but your name’s long dead
Top 100
Then the charts move on
But your little three minutes still live on
[Verse 2]
Kids in dirty sneakers
Still mouth your every word
Wedding DJs spin you
Like it’s something new they’ve heard
You bought a used-up sedan
With that summer royalty
Then the phone stopped buzzing
But the hook stayed free
[Pre-Chorus]
In every bar
Every bar
There you are still
In that bridge where the whole room gets a chill
[Chorus]
[High-pitched female voice]
One hit wonder
Blink and you’re gone
You burned so bright
Then they changed the song (yeah)
Top 100
Then you slipped through
They sing that line but forget it’s you (forget you)
One hit wonder
Stuck in their heads
Forever replayed but your name’s long dead
Top 100
Then the charts move on
But your little three minutes still live on
[Bridge]
Maybe that’s the secret
Maybe that’s the win
To be a ghost in speakers
Always sneaking in
Faces fade to static
But I still hear your tune
You only had one moment
But it still owns the room
[Chorus]
[High-pitched female voice]
One hit wonder
Blink and you’re gone
You burned so bright
Then they changed the song (changed the song)
Top 100
Then you slipped through
They sing that line but forget it’s you (oh-oh)
One hit wonder
Stuck in their heads
Forever replayed though the dream’s long dead
Top 100
When the crowd sings on
You’re the little three minutes still living on (still living on)
