As a 59 year old aussie male I'm probably not the target market for this type of song but how can anyone not love this k,it's just such a catchy,feel good song that's easy to listen to ,just great stuff.
It should have been the second single from the album; then it might've stood a fighting chance. It was her only other certified single in spite of being her fifth overall, the first being "Ex's and Oh's."
Never knew she was until I watched his stand up special on Netflix. He sings amazing too. I was really surprised. Tells me that she didn't use his name to get a start.. relied on her talent which is amazing.
Can we just appreciate how amazing she is and how she wanted her career to be self made from her talent and not because of who her dad is!!!!! Her self confidence is inspiring and well deserved!!!!!
Most artists when making a song about this concept tend to fail by insulting people back or just straight up say they're perfect. It's nice to see someone who actually did this right, no snarky remarks about another persons flaws, no blissful ignorance of their own, just a short and simple moral; 'I'm aware I'm not perfect and that's fine because I don't want to be'. It's just a shame this doesn't really seem to be taking off.
Dear Grant, I've only just heard this song today in March, 2024, and I was wondering the same thing as you! How come I've never heard of Elle King before now?? She's got a great voice. But I don't live in America either, I'm in Melbourne, Australia, but I love some of the American country singers.
I only heard of this girl a year or so ago doing Ex`s and Oh`s and thought that`s really catchy, so I listened to it again, and again, and again, lol. So I started listening to her other songs, and boy she has an incredible voice! I think she`s awesome!
If you're from that show Ginny and George or anywhere, Lol Welcome. Please listen to more of Elle king, She is so underrated and has such a beautiful voice.
EX's and Oh's led me to watch this and I'm really liking Elle King so far. I live in a same-old-favorites cave so it's nice to discover a unique voice. There are millions with awesome singing voices but a unique voice is what perks up my ears.
Danny Duncan I don't know who you are but you look famous on RU-vid and your followers don't see your comment.....so hello from Spain!!! What do you want from me???
brainflash1 haha, it all fairness you're right, who would have thunk someone would have married him and he would have bore not only an amazingly talented daughter, but a gorgeous one too...I'll give you a pass :) Oh and my husband was shocked to find out she was Rob's daughter lol. Have you seen her live on Daryl's House yet? Afreakingmazing!
AucklandGuy30 She's a true talent. Saw her on Daryl's house and wow, she blew him away. I think he was intimidated by her, he didn't give her the respect she deserved in my opinion. She's very sassy and funny too! Love this woman!
I really love this song and the message. This has definitely inspired me to be myself and never mind what others say. Just be yourself and celebrate everyday like it’s your last.
To be fair, when I heard this song I pictured the music video being Ellie King preforming at a 1950s beauty pageant and telling the audience and judges off.
@@MonaRoo88 I think its, because she is surrounded by model type girls all, fit skating and living their best skinny pretty life while she is living her best life happy with who she is
If I ever need a confidence boost or am just having a bad day, I play her music and really absorb everything in her songs. Her lyrics captivate me because she has the balls to say exactly how life is, unfair. Yet at the same time she’s not giving in to any of that shit she sings about how she won’t change for anything and for that I have the utmost respect for her!! She sings the way the work is doesn’t sugar coat it.
[Verse 1] No, there ain't nothing that I gotta prove You think your words'll make me black and blue But I, I think I'm pretty with these old boots on I think it's funny when I drink too much, hey You try and change me, you can go to hell 'Cause I don't wanna be nobody else I like the chip I got in my front teeth And I got bad tattoos you won't believe [Pre-Chorus] So kick out the jams, kick up the soul Pour another glass of that rock 'n' roll Turn up the band, fire in the hole Gonna lose control tonight [Chorus] What do you want from me? I'm not America's sweetheart So beat the drum with me I'm not America's sweetheart Well, they said I'm too loud for this town So I lit a match and burned it down What do you want from me? I'm not America's sweetheart But you love me anyway [Verse 2] My hands are dirty and my heart is cold Them boys I've been with say I got no soul When I, I meet another honey at the bar I'll think it's funny when I break his heart, mmm, now My kinda medicine is whiskey straight I got a mouth to put you in your place And they, they said I'll never be the poster type But they don't make posters of my kind of life [Pre-Chorus] So kick out the jams, kick up the soul Pour another glass of that rock 'n' roll Turn up the band, fire in the hole Gonna lose control tonight [Chorus] What do you want from me? I'm not America's sweetheart So beat the drum with me I'm not America's sweetheart Well, they said I'm too loud for this town So I lit a match and burned it down What do you want from me? I'm not America's sweetheart But you love me anyway You love me anyway You love me anyway [Pre-Chorus] Kick out the jams, kick up the soul Pour another glass of that rock 'n' roll Turn up the band, fire in the hole Holler if you're ready, gonna lose control Kick out the jams, kick up the soul Pour another glass of that rock 'n' roll Turn up the band, fire in the hole Gonna lose control tonight [Chorus] What do you want from me? I'm not America's sweetheart So beat the drum with me I'm not America's sweetheart Well, they said I'm too loud for this town So I lit a match and burned it down What do you want from me? I'm not America's sweetheart But you love me anyway You love me anyway You love me anyway [Outro] I'm not America's sweetheart No, no, no
Same and I can relate to her in my mom and this is probably an unpopular opinion but Ginny gets on my nerves like her mom is doing the best she can also I can not decide if I ship gorge with ginnys dad or joe I love her with them both so much I liked the Mayor at first but I like her with the other two better
Same she reminds me of my mom and I can’t decide who I want her to be with either Zion or Joe I liked the mayor at first but I like the other 2 better and also this might be an unpopular opinion but Ginny gets on my nerves sometimes I wish she could understand Georgia is doing the best she can
This is Elle King's best song, in my opinion. It would also be a welcome addition to Country radio at this point when compared to other mainstream sellout artists like Aldean, Bryan and Florida Georgia Line.
Elle, your voice is absolutely amazing. It is one that cant be mistaken for someone else. You put out so much of your heart and soul when you sing. Your sound is unique and I love listening to you. Just know that you are an amazing artist. Keep rockin it girl!
I love the fact that her voice has the strength of Janice joplan but the control of Etta James, unlike so many of the new generation of performers who whisper lyrics
I've been a fan of Elle King for well over 2 years now. I'm so happy she is getting the fame, that this beautiful, unique woman deserves! She's amazing!
OMG!! Same. And I'm an old dude whose wife left this on as she ran out the door late for a hair appointment!! I wish I would have had the opportunity to raise a daughter!! 😊✌❤😎
I heard it on the radio "Heart is cold" "Light a match burn it down" "My medicine is straight whisky" "You love me any way" *picks head up* Me: Ooooooh im intrested in a new favorite song
