Exhale
Kenzie Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Pressure buildin', put that on me
Time to finish what we started
Give me what I always wanted
Mirror, mirror, tell me something

You been holdin' on and on for way too long
The beat is heated up, the bass go boom
You been workin' double time to catch your breath
The tempo speeded up but don't stop yet

You need to, you need to exhale
So let everything go (let it go now)
Baby, you in control
You need to, you need to exhale
So let everything go (let it go now)
Baby, you in control

Don't stop, keep it goin'
Lights on, lights off, I'm still glowin'
Confidence I'm overflowin'
Voices tell me, "Keep your focus"

You been holdin' on and on for way too long
The beat is heated up, the bass go boom
You been workin' double time to catch your breath
The tempo speeded up but don't stop yet

You need to, you need to exhale
So let everything go (let it go now)
Baby, you in control
You need to, you need to exhale
So let everything go (let it go now)
Baby, you in control

Watch me do it, watch me own it
I know I got it
Keep on movin', keep on goin'
'Cause if you want it

You need to, you need to exhale
So let everything go
Baby, you in control
You need to, you need to exhale (breathe)
So let everything go (breathe, yeah)
Baby, you in control





(You need to, you need to exhale)

Overall Meaning

Kenzie's song EXHALE is an upbeat pop song that is about the feeling of pressure building up and needing to release it. The first verse talks about the pressure building up and how it's time to finish what they started. The next line, "give me what I always wanted," implies that the singer wants to achieve something, but it's been difficult due to the pressure, and they need to release it to succeed. The line "mirror mirror tell me something" could be interpreted in different ways, perhaps it's the singer asking themselves to reflect on their goals or asking for reassurance.


The chorus of the song repeats, "you need to exhale, so let everything go, baby, you're in control." This suggests that the singer needs to release their stress and pressure and take control of their situation. The second verse speaks about the importance of not giving up when things get tough by saying, "the beat is heated up, the bass goes boom." It implies that the singer is in control of the pace and is not slowing down. The repetition of "ahh" in this verse could be an indication of frustration or the feeling of being overwhelmed.


The ending repeats the chorus, but the line "breathe it in and let go" offers another perspective on the importance of releasing pressure. Kenzie's EXHALE is a motivational song, encouraging listeners to push past their anxieties and release their stress in order to succeed.
