[Verse 1]
Walk in like I own the moment
But I used to shrink in place
Kept my hands inside my pockets
Trying not to take up space
Everybody’s talking fast now
Like a song I couldn’t sing
I just smiled like I got it
But I never knew a thing
[Pre-Chorus]
I used to think I was background
Like I came in low and slow
But I feel the beat is changing
And I’m starting to let go
[Chorus]
So I turn the volume up, up, up
Like a song I couldn’t shut, shut, shut
No more fading in the static, no
Watch me light it like I’m ready to go
I turn the volume up, up, up
Feel my heartbeat in the club, club, club
If they never really saw me before
I’m impossible to ignore
[Verse 2]
Now I’m laughing just a little louder
Than I ever did back then
Used to think I was an extra
Now I know I’m in the end
Every glance feels less like judgment
Every step feels more like mine
I’m not trying to be perfect
Just alive at the same time
[Pre-Chorus]
Maybe everyone was nervous
Maybe I just couldn’t see
But I’m done standing in the shadows
Now the spotlight’s finding me
[Chorus]
So I turn the volume up, up, up
Like a song I couldn’t shut, shut, shut
No more fading in the static, no
Watch me light it like I’m ready to go
I turn the volume up, up, up
Feel my heartbeat in the club, club, club
If they never really saw me before
I’m impossible to ignore
[Verse 3]
I used to talk in quiet corners
Like my voice would break the room
Like every word might disappear
Before it even reached the tune
But now I let it echo longer
Let it bounce off every wall
If I was never part of the chorus
I’m the one who starts it all
[Pre-Chorus]
And maybe I was never missing
Maybe I was just unsure
But the moment that I found it
I don’t hide in silence anymore
[Chorus (expanded lift)]
So I turn the volume up, up, up
Like the night is never done, done, done
No more fading into nothing, no
Watch me glow under the strobe
I turn the volume up, up, up
Feel the rush like it’s enough, enough
If they never really saw me before
I’m impossible to ignore
[Bridge (Spoken – Britney-style hook)]
“Okay… wait a second…”
“I used to think I was invisible… like, literally.”
“But turns out…” laughs lightly
“I was just on mute.”
“So if you’re wondering where I went…”
“I’m right here.”
“And I turned the volume all the way… UP.”
[Final Chorus (Big 2000s Pop Lift)]
So we turn the volume up, up, up
Like the night is never done, done, done
No more fading into nothing, no
Watch us glow under the strobe
We turn the volume up, up, up
Every heartbeat in the club, club, club
If they never really saw us before
We’re impossible to ignore
