Courtney writes, composes, and records all of their music. They released their debut album, Off The Record, under the stage name Ember in August 2018. A second album, under their real name, titled Courtney Rx was scheduled for a late 2019 release but was ultimately scrapped after a string of singles, including "Freak Alert" and a re-recorded version of "Don't Put It On Me Girl". Two brand new singles, "Butterfly" and "Side Effects", were released in 2020; their newest single, "Pleasure", was released in May 2021.
Reality
Courtney Stodden Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I was still, the heat went through my body
The feeling was real, this feeling is real
Hold me baby, close the door,
Let go
I wanna dance tonight until we lose control
Baby if you want to, we can take it all the way
Is this reality?
Don't wake me up if I'm dreaming, if I'm dreaming
This feels real, feels realer than reality
This feels real, feels realer than my body
This feels real baby, don't wake me uW if I'm dreaming
If I'm drea-drea-dreaming
Get close and feel my body
It's turning me on
What took you so long?
To come and give it to me
Hold me baby, close the door,
Let go
I wanna dance tonight until we lose control
Baby if you want to, we can take it all the way
Forget about the world boy, come and dance the night away
Is this reality?
Don't wake me up if I'm dreaming, if I'm dreaming
This feels real, feels realer than reality
This feels real, feels realer than my body
This feels real baby, don't wake me uW if I'm dreaming
If I'm drea-drea-dreaming
I want you, want you right here
I want you, want you, need you right here with me
Right now!
Baby if you want to, we can take it all the way
Forget about the world boy, come and dance the night away
Is this reality?
Don't wake me up if I'm dreaming, if I'm dreaming
This feels real, feels realer than reality
This feels real, feels realer than my body
This feels real baby, don't wake me up if I'm dreaming
If I'm drea-drea-dreaming
