So Under Pressure
Dannii Minogue Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Trippin' on intensity
I'm weighed down by gravity
And I'm waitin' to exhale
I'm so under pressure (pressure, pressure, pressure, pressure)
Slippin' down and back again
When I want the pain to end
And I'm sinkin' in quick sand
I'm so under pressure
(yeah yeah, yeah yeah)
I'm so under pressure
I'm gonna shout
It's a blow out
Again and, again and, again
I'm so under pressure
(yeah yeah, yeah yeah)
I'm so under pressure (yeah yeah, yeah yeah)
(yeah yeah, yeah yeah)
(yeah yeah, yeah yeah)
Get A Grip
(yeah yeah, yeah yeah)
(yeah yeah)
Get a grip I'm almost gone
There's just too much going on
Feel like I can hardly breathe
(Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah)
I'm so under pressure
(yeah yeah, yeah yeah)
I'm so under pressure (yeah yeah, yeah yeah)
And I wanna get out
'cause it's gonna blow out
I just wanna get out
'cause it's gonna blow out (yeah yeah)
And I wanna get out (I'm so under pressure)
'cause it's gonna blow out
I Just wanna get out
'cause it's gonna blow out
And I wanna get out (I'm so under pressure)
'cause it's gonna blow out
I just wanna get out (yeah yeah)
'cause it's gonna blow out (yeah yeah)
And I wanna get out (I'm so under pressure)
'cause it's gonna blow out
I just wanna get out (yeah yeah)
'cause it's gonna blow out (yeah yeah)
And I wanna get out (I'm so under pressure)
'cause it's gonna blow out
I just wanna get out (yeah yeah)
'cause it's gonna blow out (yeah yeah)
And I wanna get out (I'm so under pressure)
'cause it's gonna blow out
I just wanna get out (yeah yeah)
'cause it's gonna blow out (yeah yeah)
I'm so under pressure
(yeah yeah)

The track became Minogue's seventh consecutive Upfront Club Chart number one in the UK. It was the 30th highest selling dance single in Australia for 2006. It did Ok.

She has mostly been successful in Australia and Europe only. However this song charted #20 in the UK as a single, #11 in the UK as a dance tune, #6 in Ireland, #16 in Australia, #13 in Scotland, and as a bonus - #38 in Russia for some reason. Never heard this song in the USA but it is a good one. She seems to be very good as a dance tune writer but for some reason never really hit it big internationally except on Broadway performances. Definitely very talented as her sister is.
