Now or Never
Emilia de Poret Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

We've been up
And we've been down
But this time something is telling me
It's different somehow
Like a bell
Ringing in my mind
Telling me to wake up
To what you want
We gonna crash this time

And even if I could survive
What's the point without you by my side

[Chorus]
I can't shake the feeling now
I got to turn my life around
Cause I can feel it's going down
It's now or never

I don't want to think about
All the things that never were
And I don't wanna lose you now
So it's now or never

So let me try to make this better now
To fill the space between us
With those word that I never ever said out loud
Tell me how and I'll be something new
Make my heart a blank page
That is useless to anyone but you

Cause I can never live without
The only thing I ever cared about

[Chorus]
I can't shake the feeling now
I got to turn my life around
Cause I can feel it's going down
It's now or never

I don't want to think about
All the things that never were
And I don't wanna lose you now
So it's now or never

A part of me still believes
When you say you gonna sick around
A part of me still believes
We can find away to work it out
I got to know that we tried everything we could try
Before we said goodbye forever

[Chorus]
I can't shake the feeling now
I got to turn my life around
Cause I can feel it's going down
It's now or never

I don't want to think about
All the things that never were




And I don't wanna lose you now
So it's now or never

We've been up
We have experienced good times and success


And we've been down
We have experienced failure and tough times


But this time something is telling me
I have a gut feeling that this time things are different


It's different somehow
I cannot pinpoint exactly what is different, but I know it is there


Like a bell
It feels like a clear and loud signal


Ringing in my mind
It is a mental sign or reminder


Telling me to wake up
It is commanding me to pay attention


To what you want
To prioritize what is important to you


We gonna crash this time
Our relationship may come to an end if we do not act now


And even if I could survive
Even if I could get through this difficult time alone


What's the point without you by my side
It would be meaningless and empty without you


I can't shake the feeling now
I have a persistent and strong intuition


I got to turn my life around
I need to make significant changes to improve my situation


Cause I can feel it's going down
I sense that things are getting worse


It's now or never
It is time to take action or it may be too late


I don't want to think about

So it's now or never
This is the only chance we have to salvage our relationship


So let me try to make this better now
Let me attempt to improve our situation


To fill the space between us
To bridge the emotional gap or distance


With those word that I never ever said out loud
With the things I have kept hidden or unsaid


Tell me how and I'll be something new
Give me a chance to change or improve for you


Make my heart a blank page
Allow me to start over or have a fresh start


That is useless to anyone but you
My heart is empty without you and only you can give it purpose


Cause I can never live without
I cannot imagine my life without


The only thing I ever cared about
The one thing that truly matters to me


A part of me still believes
I still have hope or faith


When you say you gonna sick around
When you promise to stay with me and not give up


We can find away to work it out
We can overcome this problem together


I got to know that we tried everything we could try
I need to feel assured that we did all we could to save our relationship


Before we said goodbye forever
Before we make the final decision to end things for good

In early 2007, songwriters Shelly Peiken, Arnthor Birgisson, and Wayne Hector wrote a song titled "Out from Under" for the soundtrack of Bratz: The Movie. After approaching Britney Spears in 2008, the songwriters suggested the singer to re-record the song for her album "Circus". Then the song was released as a single in Europe with rewritten lyrics as "Now Or Never" by Emilia de Poret in 2009... So, there's no plagiarism.

It's NOT Joanna Pacitti's song, it was written by Shelly Peiken, Arnthor Birgisson, and Wayne Hector for a movie. Joanna happened to be the artist approached to sing the song the first time, and then they asked if Britney Spears wanted to record it for Circus. The song was relatively successful in Sweden (where it originated and was recorded by Spears), and Emilia de Poret (who is Swedish) decided to do her own version of the song. No copyright violations, she was paying tribute to a good song.

@arnfred7114

Emilia cool song ❤👍

@justin112288

Actually the song originally belonged to Joanna Pacitti and it was called Out From Under. Britney did it later and now Emilia uses the same melody with different lyrics. I personally love both Joanna's and Emilia's!!!
