Put Your Records On
Danielle Bradbery Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And they told me I don't need to worry.
Summer came like cinnamon
So sweet,
Little girls double-dutch on the concrete.
Maybe sometimes, we've got it wrong, but it's alright
The more things seem to change, the more they stay the same
Girl, put your records on, tell me your favorite song
You go ahead, let your hair down
Sapphire and faded jeans, I hope you get your dreams,
Just go ahead, let your hair down.
You're gonna find yourself somewhere, somehow.
Blue as the sky, sunburnt and lonely,
Sipping tea in a bar by the roadside,
(just relax, just relax)
Don't you let those other boys fool you,
Got to love that afro hair do.
Maybe sometimes, we feel afraid, but it's alright
The more you stay the same, the more they seem to change.
Don't you think it's strange?
Girl, put your records on, tell me your favorite song
You go ahead, let your hair down
Sapphire and faded jeans, I hope you get your dreams,
Just go ahead, let your hair down.
You're gonna find yourself somewhere, somehow.
'Twas more than I could take, pity for pity's sake
Some nights kept me awake, I thought that I was stronger
When you gonna realize, that you don't even have to try any longer?
Do what you want to.
Girl, put your records on, tell me your favorite song
You go ahead, let your hair down
Sapphire and faded jeans, I hope you get your dreams,
Just go ahead, let your hair down.
Girl, put your records on, tell me your favorite song
You go ahead, let your hair down
Sapphire and faded jeans, I hope you get your dreams,
Just go ahead, let your hair down.
Oh, you're gonna find yourself somewhere, somehow
The song "Put Your Records On" by Danielle Bradbery is an uplifting and empowering ballad about letting go of worries, being yourself, and pursuing your dreams. The first verse describes three little birds sitting on the singer's window and reassuring her that she doesn't need to worry. The chorus then encourages listeners, especially girls, to put on their favorite records (or music) and let their hair down. The lyrics imply that society puts too much pressure on young women to conform to certain standards, but the singer reminds girls that they should be confident in themselves and their unique qualities. The second verse acknowledges that sometimes people feel afraid or uncertain, but that's okay. The bridge emphasizes the importance of being true to oneself and doing what one enjoys, without caring about those who judge or criticize. The song closes with the repeated line that "you're gonna find yourself somewhere, somehow," meaning that eventually, everyone will discover their own path and purpose in life.
