After playing hometown dates at local festivals in 2016, Faouziaโs burgeoning career started to blossom. She has since taken the stage at Torontoโs Yonge & Dundas Square for Canadaโs Walk Of Fame Festival, and played one high profile event after another, wowing audiences with her heart-wrenching lyrics and magnetic stage presence.
Switching seamlessly between composing songs in English and French, Faouzia follows her well-tuned instinct when songwriting. Her first single โKnock On My Doorโ found its way onto regular rotation at Canadian radio, and the follow up โMy Heartโs Graveโ is already seeing adds in both Canada, and her native Morocco. Another accolade that the teen can add to her already impressive rรฉsumรฉ is that of an award-winner. In early 2017, Faouzia became the first Canadian in history to win the Grand Prize award for the International Songwriting Competition, besting over 16,000 entries from137 countries, and a few short months later, was awarded the Grand Prize for the Unsigned Only Music Competition (6,000 entries from 90 countries). Faouzia was the first ever teen to win each award.
Influenced by hours spent listening to traditional Arabic music in her parentsโ minivan, the songbirdโs voice embodies a unique range, taking on subtle trills and stylings that combine effortlessly with contemporary pop hooks or Francophone lyrics.
You wonโt be able to miss this up-and-coming artistic force โ Faouziaโs star just keeps shining brighter.

Faouzia Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Before I go and let you in
Don't wanna be irrational
And make the same mistakes again
Would you be there
5 AM on a weekend?
Through the thick and the thin
Don't wanna wake up
Wishing I never gave love
Wishing I never gave trust
Knowing it wasn't true
If I was your hero, would you be mine?
I know this ain't a fairytale, this is real life
But if I were to save you, would you do the same?
And catch me if I'm fallin', fallin', fallin', fallin'?
If I was your hero, would you be mine?
I know this ain't a fairytale, this is real life
But if I were to save you, would you do the same?
And catch me if I'm fallin', fallin', fallin', fallin'?
Maybe I'm better off alone
At least that's what my mind is saying
I think I've been through way too much
So you gotta assure
That this love is sure
Would you be there
5 AM on a weekend?
Through the thick and the thin
Never second-guessing with you
Don't wanna wake up
Wishing I never gave love
Wishing I never gave trust
Knowing it wasn't true
If I was your hero, would you be mine?
I know this ain't a fairytale, this is real life
But if I were to save you, would you do the same?
And catch me if I'm fallin', fallin', fallin', fallin'?
If I was your hero, would you be mine?
I know this ain't a fairytale, this is real life
But if I were to save you, would you do the same?
And catch me if I'm fallin', fallin', fallin', fallin'?
You got my heart on its knees
And it's begging you please don't go
Oh-oh-oh
And I'll be fine if you leave
But I'm hoping this time you won't
Oh-oh-oh
If I was your hero, would you be mine?
I know this ain't a fairytale, this is real life
But if I were to save you, would you do the same?
And catch me if I'm fallin', fallin', fallin', fallin'?
If I was your hero, would you be mine?
I know this ain't a fairytale, this is real life
But if I were to save you, would you do the same?
And catch me if I'm fallin', fallin', fallin', fallin'?
