    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

    paper Jessica Lockwood - Take A Shot (Single)

    “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

    paper Jessica Lockwood - Act Like That (Single)

    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
