I can feel the heat
Like it's burning right in front of me
Don't have to see it to believe it
We could play it safe
Avoid the battle lines
There's always gonna be another fight0
But as long as we got this love
I know we're gonna triumph
Yeah, yeah
We're golden when we light up
Yeah, yeah
It's just a matter of time
Before we're gonna triumph, triumph
Yeah, yeah
Nothing can stop us now
Our feet already left the ground
We're so close I can almost taste the victory
In my teeth
I can be anything with you next to me, woah

Three words:She is underrated
Like Rachel Platten and her fight song this is empowering and she has an amazing voice.Really underrated.

Why is this not all over radio?! If Katy Perry released this, it would be #1 for 250 years.

The sad reality is that any music that comes out in Australia doesn't blow up like it does in North America. I have absolutely no clue why that is, but it's a fact. If she wants to get millions of views she needs to debut in NA rather than AU.
