base talk Jessie J – "Loud" Appreciation Thread

[skwonderfactory]

Let's start 2025 by loving a highlight of Jessie J's career and the best song on Sweet Talker:

 

 

 

 

Lyrics:

Spoiler

[Verse 1]
Why don't they hate you?
Why do they hate me?
Why are their blogs set up to debate 
But only forsake me?
Huh, how am I doing?
And why do you care?
When my failures come the smiles
When I win, I write, you just compare

 

So why, must I try to own your love
When I'm better than what I've been?
But that's not good enough
Why?
You can't hear my decency?
Instead of me singin' to friends
I'm talkin' over enemies

 

[Chorus]
The world is so loud
Loud, loud
It's so loud
Loud, loud
It's like hearin' pins drop in the crowd
They won't stop until they goddamn tear you down
Man, the world is so loud
Loud, loud
It's so loud
Loud, loud
I try to drown 'em all out in my sound
But they won't stop, stop until they tear you down
Until they tear me down
(In time, you will take me as I am) Until they tear me down
(As I am)

 

[Verse 2]
Wish for my destruction
That's why I'm so reluctant
Want me to pass the ball
But you're not on my team
You wanna cast a stone
We're so ready to fight
Got the nerve to ask how did I sleep
I heard you all through the night

 

Somebody tell me why
I know it's not just me
Over a billion voices
"Don't think, just speak"
You hate me when I'm up (Hey)
You love me when I'm down (Woo)
I'm so confused by the world (Hey)

 

[Chorus]
Hey, the world is so loud
Loud, loud
It's so loud
Loud, loud
It's like hearin' pins drop in the crowd
They won't stop until they goddamn tear you down
Man, the world is so loud
Loud, loud
It's so loud
Loud, loud
I try to drown 'em all out in my sound
But they won't stop, stop until they tear you down
Until they tear me down
(In time, you will take me as I am) (Hey; ooh-woah; woo!)
Until they tear me down (Until they tear me down, until they tear me down)
(As I am) (Until they tear me down, until they tear me down)

 

[Bridge]
Long ago, I swear that
That I couldn't hear a sound
I couldn't hear a sound
There's a little girl, now
With a little fortune (With a little fortune)
Hopin' you'll listen (Hopin' you'll listen)
Tear you down (Tear me down)

 

[Chorus]
Oh-woah-oh-oh, the world is so loud (It's so loud)
Loud, loud
It's so loud (It's so loud)
Loud, loud
It's like hearin' pins drop in the crowd
They won't stop until they goddamn tear you down
Man, the world is so loud (It's so loud)
Loud, loud (Oh)
It's so loud (Ooh-ooh)
Loud, loud
I try to drown 'em all out in my sound (I try to drown 'em all out)
But they won't stop (But they won't stop), stop until they tear you down
Until they tear you down, yeah, no (In time, you will take me as I am)
Until they tear you down, ooh-woah
(Yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah, oh-oh) (As I am)
(Oh-oh-oh) (In time), you will (Take me as I am) take me as I am
As I– (As I am)
