LYRICS
Vibing with the energy
From all the bodies around
While they lookin at me
As I’m just tryna figure shit out
Gonna cause a problem
If you ain’t here to get down
Just shut your mouth
And turn my shit up now

Take it to the floor
Like we’re praising in a temple
Doing ungodly things
If you want more
And think you can handle it
Then come closer please
From the richest to the poor 
It doesn’t matter who you are
Just live your life honestly
Who cares about tomorrow
As long as we're topsy turvy

Strip away your identity
And shake your ass to the ground
Dripping sex appeal
Like I’m gold while it’s melting down
Gonna give a show
Don't care if we're not allowed
Turning up the heat
Refusing to burn out

Take it to the floor
Like we’re praising in a temple
Doing ungodly things
If you want more
And think you can handle it
Then come closer please
From the richest to the poor 
It doesn’t matter who you are
Just live your life honestly
Who cares about tomorrow
As long as we're topsy turvy
Give it all you got
Don't try to hesitate
Cause we're moving so rapidly
Just listen to your body
Let it take you to a place 
Where we thrive in harmony
Doesn't matter where you're from
Tonight's our chance to live like royalty
No cares about tomorrow
When we're so topsy turvy

Take it to the floor
Like we’re praising in a temple
Doing ungodly things
If you want more 
And think you can handle it
Then come closer please
From the richest to the poor 
It doesn’t matter who you are
Just live your life honestly
Who cares about tomorrow
As long as we're

Take it to the floor
Like we’re praising in a temple
Doing ungodly things
If you want more
And think you can handle it
Then come closer please
From the richest to the poor 
It doesn’t matter who you are
Just live your life honestly
Who cares about tomorrow
As long as we're topsy turvy
Give it all you got
Don't try to hesitate
Cause we're moving so rapidly
Just listen to your body
Let it take you to a place 
Where we thrive in harmony
Doesn't matter where you're from
Tonight's our chance to live like royalty
No cares about tomorrow
When we're so topsy turvy

Brother (YKTDY)
Is a very nostalgic song for me. Most songs touch on the subject of love, the only difference here is that I wanted to write a song about how much I love my mates. I wanted to share some of the story’s and memories we lived through in our younger years. Growing up in Moston (Manchester). The good times. The bad times. It’s celebrating he family we choose, in our case our brothers. Life is never plain sailing but I like to think that is about who you are with not where you are. In this industry iv met a lot of privileged people but I honestly wouldn’t change our upbringing for the world. I’m proud of where I’m from & I love my mates so I wrote a song about it. Enjoy.

I think you know

'Now Or Never' explores the tension between staying ignorant for the sake of peace of mind vs. the desire to face the truth.

Now Or Never

VERSE I
West End 
I’m on the ceilin’
I’m medicated with the finest buzz a kid could afford
Wide eyes
In walks a heathen
Is it just me, or did the room heat up a hundred degrees?

PRECHORUS I
Cause there you stood with a mind full of felonies  
Oh and now I’m burnin’
baby but I love all the heat 
West End
My fears are peakin’
And you could save me, but you’d rather have me down on the floor

CHORUS
Woah-ooh-wuh-uh-oh-oh-ohh
I need ya like a fever
Fever won’t you be good to me? 
Woah-ooh-wuh-uh-oh-oh-ohh
You’re sayin’ that you’re super 
But you’re no superhero to me

VERSE II
I’m sideways
It’s complicated
I wasn’t lookin’, but the girl is kinda hard to ignore 
Soft eyes (soft eyes)
Cuts like a demon (like a demon)
She’d try to break me, but I’m already as broke as could be

PRECHORUS II
Cause there I stood in your room, feelin’ chemistry 
Oh and now I’m beggin’
Baby you’re so good at deceit 
West End (West End)
She says I’m tweakin’ (I think I’m tweakin’)
And you could save me, but you’d rather make me feel like a whore

CHORUS II
Woah-ooh-wuh-uh-oh-oh-ohh
I need ya like a fever
Fever won’t you be good to me? 
Woah-ooh-wuh-uh-oh-oh-ohh
You’re sayin’ that you’re super 
But you’re no superhero to me

Woah-ooh-wuh-uh-oh-oh-ohh
I need ya like a fever
Fever won’t you be good to me? 
Woah-ooh-wuh-uh-oh-oh-ohh
You’re sayin’ that you’re super 
But you’re no superhero to me

BRIDGE
Ooh-ooh-eee-ooh
Well I know, you know, that no one can resist ya
Ooh-ooh-eee-ooh
Well I know you know, that no one can can’t resist her
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
And I’m burnin’ slowly, baby’s gotten under the skin
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
If it’s a game we’re playing, baby how come I never win?

CHORUS 3
Woah-ooh-wuh-uh-oh-oh-ohh
I need ya like a fever
Fever won’t you be good to me? 
Woah-ooh-wuh-uh-oh-oh-ohh
You’re sayin’ that you’re super 
But you’re no superhero to me

Woah-ooh-wuh-uh-oh-oh-ohh
I need ya like a fever
Fever won’t you be good to me? 
Woah-ooh-wuh-uh-oh-oh-ohh
You’re sayin’ that you’re super 
But you’re no superhero to me
