The pair first gained recognition from their covers of popular Hip-Hop and Pop songs posted on YouTube. After offers from various record companies, the duo signed with Sony and Epic Records in June 2011.
Karmin is a collision of Nick’s Classic Rock upbringing and Jazz education (a trained trombonist) and Amy’s R&B influence and Pop background. Together they found music at its simplest form, percussion and voice.
In 2017, the duo took a break on Karmin to focus on another project known as "Qveen Herby".
Pulses
Karmin Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I love it when it beats for me, yeah
I wanna make your heart beat
I love it when it beats for me, yeah
I wanna raise pulses
La chica with the most-est
Not in the mood for the average Josephs
I wanna raise pulses
I'm coming for your rhythm, I'm here to wake you up
I wanna be your hero, I wanna shake the fluff
I be on that beating in your chest
Check a stethoscope run a few tests
Something you can measure doesn't make it better
Feeling weighed down did you lose your go-getter
You got a heart that's born with a beat
What's that now, you forget how to breathe?
I wanna get that thing runnin'
I wanna make your heart beat
I love it when it beats for me, yeah
I wanna make your heart beat
I love it when it beats for me, yeah
Oh I'mma make sure that you feel alive
I'mma make sure that you feel alive
I'mma make sure, I'mma make sure
I'mma make sure that you feel alive
I wanna raise pulses
La chica with the most-est
Not in the mood for the average Josephs
Coming unglued, baby this is explosive
I wanna raise pulses
They run you through the system, they blowing you the smoke
They try to suffocate, but think before you choke
You control the beating in your chest
You resuscitate now, cardiac arrest
World you can have it, take a couple planets
Trade up your half for the whole pomegranate
You got a heart that's born with a beat
What's that now, you forget how to breathe?
I wanna get the thing runnin'
I wanna make your heart beat
I love it when it beats for me, yeah
I wanna make your heart beat
I love it when it beats for me, yeah
Oh I'mma make sure that you feel alive
I'mma make sure that you feel alive
I'mma make sure, I'mma make sure
I'mma make sure that you feel alive
I wanna raise pulses
La chica with the most-est
Not in the mood for the average Josephs
Coming unglued, baby this is explosive
I wanna raise pulses
I'mma make sure that you feel alive
I'mma make sure that you feel alive
I'mma make sure, I'mma make sure
I'mma make sure that you feel alive

What's interesting is that Karmin doesn't do explicit material and focuses on injecting positive vibes in their songs. Definitely deserves better recognition <3
kirsty Clark
I agree am sick of singers and rappers talking about shaking there ass and getting it on. talk about degrading them selfs pfft. Karmin all the way they deserve more than 2 million views

Kirsty Clark Preach.

Kirsty Clark It's not bad to keep things clean, but that's the wrong attitude too. If someone enjoys shaking their ass and/or getting it on, they aren't degrading themselves. They just choose to live differently than you.
