Moving forward with a driving momentum, Anoop has since evolved from his days as a college student and Idol contestant. Anoop has since taken the reins on developing his own style of music by producing a sound that embodies his growth as an artist. Looking to further showcase his boundless vocal abilities, Anoop teamed up with Atlanta-based producer/DJ ADHD to create a unique project and a new sound. The result is a new EP entitled 3 Cheers that is set for release on November 20th. Infusing the energy of electro with pop driven melodies, 3 Cheers is a dance gem that cross over genre boundaries. “The record is all about being young and having fun,” says Anoop. “It’s about being displaced, but in a way that makes your explore”.
Anoop penned the title track, “3 Cheers,” while reflecting on his freshman year at UNC Chapel Hill. Noting typical college antics, such as attending frat parties and sneaking into bars, “3 Cheers” serves as an anthem to students coming into their own and having the freedom to find their own path. From the bombastic electro-pop rhythms of “Love War” to the dubstep infused “Rocket Man”, Anoop, along with ADHD, presents an exciting new story at the nexus between pop and electronic dance music.
The album boosts a strong sense of individuality and acts as an awakening for an artist previously thought of as solely an R&B/Pop crooner. Playing off of his different experiences within the music industry, it is Anoop’s evolution and experimentation as an artist that has produced this EP. “I’ve gotten better and I’ve grown…expanding your horizon becomes a part of your style,” says Anoop. Fans can look forward to this new release as 3 Cheers stands to champion the diversified sounds of EDM.

Anoop Desai Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
They told him don't you ever come around here
Don't wanna see your face, you better disappear
The fire's in their eyes and their words are really clear
So beat it, just beat it
You better run, you better do what you can
You wanna be tough, better do what you can
So beat it, but you wanna be bad
Just beat it, beat it, beat it, beat it
No one wants to be defeated
Showin' how funky and strong is your fight
It doesn't matter who's wrong or right
Just beat it, beat it
Just beat it, beat it
Just beat it, beat it
Just beat it, beat it
They're out to get you, better leave while you can
Don't wanna be a boy, you wanna be a man
You wanna stay alive, better do what you can
So beat it, just beat it
You have to show them that you're really not scared
You're playin' with your life, this ain't no truth or dare
They'll kick you, then they beat you,
Then they'll tell you it's fair
So beat it, but you wanna be bad
Just beat it, beat it, beat it, beat it
No one wants to be defeated
Showin' how funky and strong is your fight
It doesn't matter who's wrong or right
Just beat it, beat it, beat it, beat it

The lyrics to Anoop Desai's cover of Michael Jackson's "Beat It" are a powerful message about standing up for oneself against bullies and those who wish to tear you down. The first verse warns of the danger that lies ahead, with the fire in the eyes of those who want to see you fail. The message is clear: get out before it's too late. The second verse is a challenge to those who wish to be tough and macho, reminding them that there is no honor in seeking out violence. The chorus is a rallying cry to fight back against those who wish to defeat you, and to show them how strong you can be.
The bridge serves as a warning to not play with your life by engaging in dangerous behavior, and reminds the listener that they are responsible for their own survival. Overall, the lyrics are a call to action for anyone who has ever felt marginalized or oppressed to take a stand and fight back.

That was a crazy season with a lot of great talent, and Anoop’s one of them!
@dab7271
I went to UNC at the same time as him, and I was in school there at the time he was competing on AI. I met him in chapel hill about a month after this aired. Really awesome guy.....genuinely nice and he’s got a great sense of humor.
@js.3157
Feel like “Rock with You” would’ve worked better for him
@evaschroeder4020
Agree
@ultimateawseome
This was way too harsh. You don't say that in front of someone even as a judge. His family was even there
@mikemo949
I remember this being a better performance. Watching back it was not good
@soniapinto7903
He dared to touch Beat it, too ambitious
@jamienguyen8009
The only time I can actually understand the lyrics lmao
@prachikanaujiya125

@EltonYawn
