Background[]
The song incorporates a trap beat with vocal chops in the drop. Sophie Stray, the vocalist describes it as a song that's all about going after what's best for you in life. It's about letting go of anything that's holding you back, including negative thoughts. Life's full of ups and downs, and the idea is to soar through it all, even if the odds are against you.
Lyrics[]
Head to my heart
Hand on your chest
I have the best of intentions
I've played my part
But who did the rest
Don't wasting breath on redemption
Who do you love when it isn't me
'Cause we fall apart inevitably
Sometimes what you want
Just ain't what you need
And you know me
Baby, I was born to run
Baby, I was born to run
Ain't nobody ever gonna slow me down
'Cause I
I'm looking for the number one
Only me, myself and I
Ain't nobody ever gonna hold me down
Baby, I was born to run
Hand to the wind
Head in the sky
Yeah baby that's where I'm headed
But you fenced me in
For too long a time
So, let's forgive and forget it
I'm not the one, it's easy to see
'Cause we fall apart inevitably
Sometimes what you want
Just ain't what you need
And you know me
