I just want to be heard like everybody wants to be heard
And I just want to be loved like everybody wants to be loved

I just want to be held in bed, all night, all morning, all afternoon
I just want me and you
To spend an afternoon in the sunshine

I made a decision, followed intuition
Flowing with the river, moving with the ocean
I learned many lessons, asked a lot of questions
Trying to find the answers

Feels like I'm running, escaping, and hiding
From hurting, from crying, again and again
Feels like I'm searching, like I have been waiting
For love that can last 

I just want to be heard like everybody wants to be heard
And I just want to be loved like everybody wants to be loved

I just want to be held in bed, all night, all morning, all afternoon
I just want me and you
To spend an afternoon 

I just want me and you 
To spend an afternoon in the sunshine

I just want, me and you 

To spend an afternoon in the sunshine
All night, all morning, all afternoon

I made a decision, followed intuition
Flowing with the river, moving with the ocean
I learned many lessons, asked a lot of questions
Trying to find the answers

Feels like I'm running, escaping, and hiding
From hurting, from crying, again and again
Feels like I'm searching, like I have been waiting
For love that can last 

Me and you, could spend an afternoon in the sunshine
Me and you, could spend an afternoon in the sunshine

Tell me where you kept your feelings hid
Tell me bout your kid
Tell me bout the - things you did
I ain't saying that a little ooouu yuh 
Shouldn't doooo ya
But I see right through it

Tell me things she doesn't wanna hear
Daydreams and your fears
Happiness you wasted over years
I ain't saying that a little ooouu yuh
Shouldn't doooo ya
But I see right through it

I warmed up the sofa
Bring your bad self over
I warmed up the sofa
Bring your sad self over

Tellin' you that life is hard enough
So I take what come to me
Tellin' you that life is hard enough
Take it easy money

Promise that my love was made to share
Promise that I'll care
Promise that I'll let you up for air
I ain't saying that a little ooouu yuh
Shouldn't doooo ya
But I see right through it

Jewelry is nice but I'm a star
Save your candy hearts
I'm more into real-estate and cars
I ain't saying that a little ooouu yuh
Shouldn't doooo ya
But I see right through it

I warmed up the sofa
Bring your bad self over
I warmed up the sofa
Bring your sad self over

Tellin' you that life is hard enough
So I take what come to me
It's harder everyday to make a buck out here
So I take it when it's free
Tellin' you that life is hard enough
So I take what come to me
Tellin' you that life is hard enough
Take it easy money

Promise that my love was made to share
Promise that I'll care
Promise that I'll let you up for air
Promise that my love was made to share
Promise that I'll care
Promise that I'll let you up for air

Beginning her career with an impromptu duet with Lady Gaga during her ArtRave tour in Montreal, Queer Ottawa native Michelle Treacy is unapologetically blazing her own path. With over 3M Spotify streams to date, a major label deal soon followed & 16 weeks on Billboard Hot 100 with her hit “Armageddon". The songstress then went on to win CTV’s The Launch, releasing “Emotional” with legendary producer Nile Rodgers. Now releasing music independently and appearing on season 22 of American Idol in 2024, the reinvention of Michelle Treacy is her most honest yet.

Michelle Treacy, une personne queer native d’Ottawa, a commencé sa carrière par un duo improvisé avec Lady Gaga lors de sa tournée ArtRave à Montréal. Avec plus de 3 millions de diffusions sur Spotify à ce jour, un contrat avec une grande maison de disques n’a pas tardé à suivre, en plus de 16 semaines au classement Billboard Hot 100 avec son tube « Armageddon ». La chanteuse a ensuite gagné le grand prix à l’émission The Launch sur CTV et a lancé « Emotional » avec le légendaire producteur Nile Rodgers. Maintenant productrice de musique indépendante, elle participera à la saison 22 d’American Idol en 2024 dans sa réinvention la plus honnête à ce jour.

Si je pense est-ce que je suis?
Je me demande pendant la nuit
Quand je ne peux pas dormir
Car mon cerveau réfléchit

You say you wanna move ‘til the some comes
Your heart beating like a drum
Let your body move set your mind free
We’re just here for a moment

Encore encore 
Encore mon aura
Encore mon aura

You say you wanna move ‘til the some comes
Your heart beating like a drum
Let your body move set your mind free
We’re just here for a moment

Si je pense est-ce que je suis?
Je me demande pendant la nuit
Quand je ne peux pas dormir
Car mon cerveau réfléchit

Lâche prise prends ma main
Met ton corps près du mien
La musique me donne la vie
Je danse donc je suis
La nuit me seduit
Jusqu’à l'infini

Si tu veux danser avec moi
Quand je bouge mon corps comme ça
Tomber dans le ciel ce soir
Serre-moi maintenant dans tes bras
La musique est enivrante
Mon aura inhale ton corps encore
Mon aura encore mon aura

Sélectionné pour le prix OMIC Capital Music Award 2023 du meilleur nouvel artiste et invité à jouer au festival Canadian Music Week 2023 à Toronto, il a pour mission d’amener les auditeurs à exprimer leur état d’euphorie musicale, de promouvoir l’amour et de répandre des vibrations positives.
