United
The first chapter
Erin Shay's long awaited first single “United,” is a swirl of neon melodies, stirring electronic ambience, and rousing vocals that feel as if they’re sung from a mountaintop to a yearning valley below. This is a song of love and understanding aimed at the “takedown culture” so prevalent today where the media and the public feed off people’s foibles and failures. “We should pick each other up, and comfort people when they make a mistake,” Erin says of the song’s redemptive message.
Lyrics
We keep on pulling each other down
This bitter cycle goes round and round
We're throwing all of this hate 'n' shade at each other
Like, Na-Na Na-Na Na!
We crave perfection but won't admire
We throw our heroes into the fire
A little mercy would heal so much of the hurting
like, Na-Na Na-Na Na!
We're meant for better, better, better than this!
We are one
We are strong
We overcome when we are united
Don't give up
Be the love
Together we won't be divided
We are United
We are United
You make your mistakes and so do I
We're only human; it's a part of life
We've gotta help out each other; love one another
Like, Na-Na-Na-Na Na!
We're meant for better, better, better than this!
We are one
We are strong
We overcome when we are united
Don't give up
Be the love
Together we won't be divided
We are United
We are United
We are United
We are United
