[Intro : – Direct & Unapologetic talk (Clean, minimal bass pulse underneath]
Oh…
You thought I was trying to be like you?
That’s interesting.
I see you watching.
I hear you talking.
But let me make one thing clear —
I don’t follow.
I don’t copy.
And I definitely don’t compete.
If I shine, it’s because I’m me.
[Beat hits]
I’m flattered that you see —
Verse 1 (Groovy electro-pop pulse)
I’m flattered that you see —
See what I do
But you think I wanna be like you
(Like you, like you — yep)
You’re watching every move
Like I’m supposed to follow through
But that’s not what I choose
(No, no, no — not what I choose)
[Pre-Chorus (Light build, layered harmonies)]
So let me break it
(Sorry, sorry)
There’s so much more
I’d rather do
So much more I’d rather do-do-do-do
[Chorus (Melodic, high-energy, smooth but bold]
I’d rather stay true
Believe in what I do
(In what I do)
Than become like you
(Don’t wanna be you — na-na-na)
No, I won’t trade my view
For a mirrored point of view
I like me — I do
(I do, I do, I do — I do)
I’d rather be me… than you
Verse 2 (Stronger, confident tone)
You shine in your own way
That’s cool for you
But I don’t need your shoes
(Don’t need your shoes — na-na-na)
I walk a different line
Different rhythm, different time
My path is mine
(Mine, mine, mine — only mine)
[Pre-Chorus 2 (Higher intensity]
Let me say it
(Sorry, sorry)
I’m not changing
Just to prove
I’m staying true —
I don’t wanna be like you
[Chorus (Bigger, stacked harmonies]
I’d rather stay true
Believe in what I do
(In what I do)
Than become like you
(Don’t wanna be you — na-na-na)
No, I won’t trade my view
For a mirrored point of view
I like me — I do
(I do, I do, I do — I do)
I’d rather be me… than you
[Bridge (Cinematic lift — half-time drums + strings]
I won’t shrink
I won’t bend
(I won’t fade away)
I won’t twist to pretend
This is me
From the start
Every beat, beat, beat
Of my heart
[Final Chorus (Key lift, full harmonies, power ending]
I’d rather stay true
Believe in what I do
(In what I do — do-do, yep)
Than become like you
(Don’t wanna be you — na-na-na)
No, I won’t trade my view
For a mirrored point of view
I like me — I do
(I do, I do, I do — I do)
I’d rather be me…
(Than you)
Haha- yepp Thank you.
