Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
2 o' clock and you're breaking down my door its over,
You're not the same, its a shame that I let you go, (uh oh) (Uh oh)
Gave you all that I had and it got me no where,
But it seems to me that its the only way to go, (uh oh) (uh oh)
[BRIDGE]
You got a devil on you're shoulder,
Inviting me in,
But he wont win,
[CHORUS]
Cos I'm fearless,
I'm not afraid to be alone,
It's over why?
Because you did something wrong,
I'm heartless now,
Love me when I'm gone,
I've had enough,
And i just want you to go,
Go
Fearless.
[VERSE 2]:
Who are you?
Tryna make me feel like i was broken,
It was you tryna stop me but i broke the chains, (uh oh) (uh oh)
Say don't worry boy, don't you know that I'm a soldier,
Cos I'm not like you,
I'm gonna fight you till the end
[BRIDGE]:
I got an angel in my corner,
And you can never touch her,
You won't win,
[CHORUS:]
Cos I'm fearless,
I'm not afraid to be alone,
It's over why?
Because you did something wrong,
I'm heartless now,
Love me when I'm gone,
I've had enough,
And i just want you to go,
Go
Fearless.
[MIDDLE EIGHT:]
To say I knew you,
To say I chose you,
That was a bad day,
What I've been put through,
Has made me see that you won't stay the same
[CHORUS:]
Cos I'm fearless,
I'm not afraid to be alone,
It's over why?
Because you did something wrong, (you did me wrong)
I'm heartless now,
Love me when I'm gone,
I've had enough,
And i just want you to go,
Go
And i just want you to go
[OUTRO]
Go

In "Fearless" by Keisha Buchanan, the singer is addressing someone who has hurt her in the past. The opening lines establish that this person has shown up unannounced, after the singer has already let them go. The singer has tried before, unsuccessfully, to give her love and effort to this person, and seems to have resigned herself to moving on. The chorus solidifies her resolve, noting that she's not afraid of being alone and that the relationship is over because her partner did something wrong. The middle eight reveals that the breakup has been hard for the singer, but that she knows it was the right choice. The outro is a repeated call for this person to leave, coupled with the word "fearless."
This song is a powerful anthem about taking control of one's own life, refusing to be dragged down by negativity or hurtful relationships. The repeated phrases "fearless" and "go" reinforce this message, as the singer determines to move forward without letting anyone hold her back. Overall, this song is a call to arms for anyone who has experienced heartbreak, encouraging them to stand strong and be bold in the face of adversity.

Beautiful POWERFUL soprano. I love her voice. She literally breaths those notes out like nothing. That belt was so effortless.

I love Keisha Buchanan. She's so beautiful. Her voice is so beautiful. She's always been my favourite member in the sugababes. I wish she was back in the sugababes. She's so talented and stunning.

Why wasn't this released? It is a gorgeous track! I feel robbed.

None of her album songs were released. We were lucky to get this one because the producer posted it on his MySpace without realising

This song helped me a lot when I decided to quit my past relationship. This is what a song should do, help you.
I also wanted to do a cover of it but I couldn't find any instrumental because it was an unreleased track :(
