Firework
Katty Heath Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Do you ever feel like a plastic bag
Drifting through the wind, wanting to start again?
Do you ever feel, feel so paper thin
Like a house of cards, one blow from caving in?

Do you ever feel already buried deep six feet under?
Screams but no one seems to hear a thing
Do you know that there's still a chance for you
'Cause there's a spark in you?

You just gotta ignite the light and let it shine
Just own the night like the 4th of July

'Cause, baby, you're a firework
Come on, show 'em what you're worth
Make 'em go, "Aah, aah, aah"
As you shoot across the sky-y-y

Baby, you're a firework
Come on, let your colours burst
Make 'em go, "Aah, aah, aah"
You're gonna leave 'em all in awe, awe, awe

You don't have to feel like a wasted space
You're original, cannot be replaced
If you only knew what the future holds
After a hurricane comes a rainbow

Maybe a reason why all the doors are closed
So you could open one that leads you to the perfect road
Like a lightning bolt, your heart will glow
And when it's time you'll know

You just gotta ignite the light and let it shine
Just own the night like the 4th of July

'Cause, baby, you're a firework
Come on, show 'em what you're worth
Make 'em go, "Aah, aah, aah"
As you shoot across the sky-y-y

Baby, you're a firework
Come on, let your colours burst
Make 'em go, "Aah, aah, aah"
You're gonna leave 'em all in awe, awe, awe

Boom, boom, boom
Even brighter than the moon, moon, moon
It's always been inside of you, you, you
And now it's time to let it through-ough-ough

'Cause, baby, you're a firework
Come on, show 'em what you're worth
Make 'em go, "Aah, aah, aah"
As you shoot across the sky-y-y

Baby, you're a firework
Come on, let your colours burst
Make 'em go, "Aah, aah, aah"
You're gonna leave 'em all in awe, awe, awe

Boom, boom, boom
Even brighter than the moon, moon, moon




Boom, boom, boom
Even brighter than the moon, moon, moon

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Katty Heath's song Firework are a message of hope and inspiration, encouraging listeners to embrace their true selves and let their inner light shine. The first verse paints a picture of feeling lost and insignificant, like a plastic bag drifting through the wind, waiting for a fresh start. The next line emphasizes a feeling of fragility, where you feel vulnerable and exposed, like a house of cards that could easily collapse. The second verse picks up from the first and expresses how it feels when you are buried under life, screaming for help but nobody seems to be listening. It suggests that despite feeling invisible, there is always hope, and you need to grasp onto that glimmer of hope and let your light shine.


The chorus of "Baby, you're a firework, come on show 'em what you're worth" is the most memorable and reflects the central theme of the song. The song reinforces the notion that everyone is unique and special, and we need to embrace our differences and showcase them to the world. The song urges listeners to be confident and proud of who they are and not be ashamed of their personalities or qualities, even if it causes people to take a second glance. The song ends by reiterating the opening lines, followed by the chorus's final repetition.
