This song is an anthem of ambition, perseverance, and self-made success. It’s all about rising up, proving the doubters wrong, and making your mark, no matter what it takes
Chorus
I’ve been making moves
You don’t have to tell me twice
I’ve been making moves
Look at all the flashing lights
Putting in the work, day and night
Take another hit just as I take flight
I’ve been making moves
You will remember my name
Verse
Blink too fast and you’ll miss me
Proud of where I’ve been and where I will be
Only moving up, you can count in it
I’ve been staying tall, don’t have time to sit
Even when I fall, I never back down
Hear me now, I am ready for my crown
Chorus
I’ve been making moves
You don’t have to tell me twice
I’ve been making moves
Look at all the flashing lights
Putting in the work, day and night
Take another hit just as I take flight
I’ve been making moves
You will remember my name
Verse
They said I couldn’t do it baby
They said I wouldn’t make it if I tried
From basement to stage baby
I didn’t have to pray but I think I might
Up all night, turn my passion to pages
Started with a dream, now it’s coming true
Ive been at this for ages
Headed for greatness like I always knew
Chorus
I’ve been making moves
You don’t have to tell me twice
I’ve been making moves
Look at all the flashing lights
Putting in the work, day and night
Take another hit just as I take flight
I’ve been making moves
You will remember my name
Outro
They said I couldn’t do it baby
They said I wouldn’t make it if I tried
From basement to stage baby
I didn’t have to pray but I think I might
“Take A Shot” is about choosing momentum over hesitation and stepping fully into your own energy. It captures the rush of taking risks, trusting yourself, and refusing to wait around for someone who can’t keep up. A feel-good, take-your-power-back anthem, it blends alt-pop with gritty, shout-able moments — think The Beaches meets The Pretty Reckless meets Pat Benatar — creating a high-energy, crowd-ready track that gets listeners moving.
Verse
What is it you are you waiting for
Just make your move and go
I can’t be waiting for you
I don’t know which way to go
If it was up to me
I’d already be on my way
There is no single reason
You should even want to stay
Chorus
Take another shot this time
Or break into a good fight
Just trying to have good time
Don’t make me go home tonight
Verse:
I’ve never been the one
To stay in one place for long
I’ve always just been searching
For someone who sings my song
Chorus
Take another shot this time
Or break into a good fight
Just trying to have good time
Don’t make me go home tonight
na na na na na x3
na na na na na x3
Bridge
If you broke me
What would come of it
I’m still a mess
But i’m not empty x2
And if you’d find me
In another life
Then you’d know
We’ll be alright x 2
Chorus
Take another shot this time
Or break into a good fight
Just trying to have good time
Don’t make me go home tonight
na na na na na x3
na na na na na x3
An upbeat, snap-driven track with horns that give off an Amy Winehouse vibe, old-school, soulful, throwback. This track dives into the push-and-pull of fading relationships and unmet expectations but with energy and confidence. It’s about realizing your worth, letting go of one-sided effort, and moving forward with grace and power.
Verse 1
I initiate the plans
I start the conversations
When is the last you asked me how my life is
I know that life got busy but that isn’t an excuse to act like that (no not like that)
Please excuse my attitude
I can’t sit back and watch you
Act like that (act like that)
Verse 2
I always give too much
Never knowing when’s enough
Maybe I should learn when to just give up
I’ve had the worst kind take the best of me
And I am done with that (done with that)
Even when I sing the blues
I know that I still lose because you
Act like that (act like that)
Chorus
Did we get too busy or did we just outgrow our selves
Guess we’ll never know cause it’s been too long to tell
I swear the memories we had
Were enough to last
Guess I got the last laugh
Yeah it’s on me
Verse 3
It’s been 8 months now since I’ve heard from you
Try to reach out, no reply, what a surprise
I know we all got our own lives but that don’t mean that you can
Act like that (act like that)
Even after all this time, how could you go and act like that? (Act like that)
Chorus
Did we get too busy or did we just outgrow our selves
Guess we’ll never know cause it’s been too long to tell
I swear the memories we had
Were enough to last
Guess I got the last laugh
Yeah it’s on me
Instrumental
Verse 4
Now we’re all grown up
Families of our own
I’m really happy for you
Don’t get me wrong
But now I have a circle who will call me up without a reason (without a reason)
Even after all this time
You know that I’ll forgive you when you
Act like that
