Living Out Loud
Brooke Candy Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Twenty-five ounces in a bottle of wine
Twenty-four hours it's a day at a time
Twenty-three lived a hell of a life
Twenty-two such a blur, it's passing me by
Twenty-one I caught a glimpse of the light
Twenty drinks later in the back of a ride
Nineteen momma kicked me outta the house
Eighteen minutes till you bail me out
Seventeen magazine was telling the truth
When they said we all have issues

Just thinking out loud
Screaming so loud
Foolish and proud
Living out loud
Living out loud
Out loud

No, nothing can stop me now (Gonna live out loud)
And no one can break me down (Gonna live out loud)
I'm screaming my demons out (Gonna live out loud)
'Cause living out loud, is the only way I know how, oh
Living out loud, is the only way I know how

Sixteen candles, yeah, I'm faking my age
Fifteen minutes till they need me on stage
Fourteen K I would have done it for free
Thirteen roses and they bought them for me
Twelve step program but I don't like to walk
Eleven wet kisses just to get me to talk
Ten fingers when you're holding my hand
Nine, Eight, Seven she lives

Just thinking out loud
Screaming so loud
Foolish and proud
Living out loud
Living out loud
Out loud

No, nothing can stop me now (Gonna live out out loud)
And no one can break me down (Gonna live out loud)
I'm screaming my demons out (Gonna live out loud)
'Cause living out loud, is the only way I know how, oh

I gotta live out loud, out loud
Yeah, living out loud, is the only way I know how
'Cause living out loud, is the only way I know how

No, nothing can stop me now (Gonna live out out loud)
And no one can break me down (Gonna live out loud)
I'm screaming my demons out (Gonna live out loud)




'Cause living out loud, is the only way I know how, oh
Living out loud is the only way I know how

Overall Meaning

In Brooke Candy's song Living Out Loud, she reflects on her experiences and how they have shaped her into the person she is now. Each verse is a reflection on a different age, starting with 25 down to 13. They represent the milestones in her life and the memories she's made along the way. She sings about drinking and rebellion, being kicked out of her home, and even faking her age to pursue her dreams. The chorus, "Living out loud, is the only way I know how," expresses her desire to live unapologetically and without fear.


Throughout the song, Candy challenges societal norms and expectations placed on women. She talks about the pressure she feels from the media and society to be perfect and how unrealistic those expectations are. She acknowledges that everyone has issues and encourages others to be themselves and live their lives to the fullest.


The line, "Twenty-one I caught a glimpse of the light," is a reference to her getting sober at the age of 21. The song was released in 2017, and in interviews, Candy has spoken about her journey to sobriety and how it's shaped her life and music.


Overall, Living Out Loud is an empowering anthem about being true to oneself and living without fear. It's a reminder that everyone is flawed, and that's what makes us unique and beautiful.
