about
Filled with lush vocal harmonies and sweet pop-folk sensibilities, this autobiographical tune takes us back to the start of Hannah’s journey as an artist and performer: a sixth-grade talent show at Takoma Park Middle School. Wearing a sparkly blue wig and blue Jasmine costume, she belted out Aretha Franklin’s classic hit “Respect” and got her wings. It was truly the moment in which a shy, insecure girl finally found her spotlight. Written as a “mission song” for an assignment in a songwriting class at Yale, the song still serves as Hannah’s mission statement (“Sing your song/Sing it loud/Sing it proud/Sing it out/Sing your song now”).
“It’s the song I wrote to tell the world who I am and my origin story,” she says. “I wanted to capture the moment of that first big performance and how great it felt to hear people say, ‘Damn, that girl can sing!’” She adds: “I hope that, when people hear this song, it takes them to a moment in their past when they did something they loved and got a glimpse of who they truly were at their core.”
lyrics
Intro
Gather round and listen to the music
Focus in and hear a girl’s honest choice to share her voice
Cuz she’s been hiding herself from this whole wide world for so long
now…mmhm
And she’s finally got the courage to perform
her song
Verse 1
Eight o’clock on a Friday night
Middle school talent show
I walked out in a sparkly, blue wig and little did you know
Well I was nervous that night but it ended up all right
This shy girl finally found her spotlight
And you said
Chorus
Sing your song
Sing it loud
Sing it proud
Sing it out
Sing your song now
Bridge
Now’s the time to let your colors shine
To count in your own time, to capture your own rhyme
Don’t look back; stay on track
Sing your song
Verse 2
Drowned by insecurities
Didn’t want to stand out
I used to dream one day I’d wake up and be part of the popular crowd
But after middle school, the mean girls cease their rule
Now they just look like fools
You told me
Chorus
Bridge
Chorus (x2)
