Oh-Oh-Oh-Oh-Oh
Oh-Oh-Oh-Oh-Oh-Oh
Everything's gon' be good
Even if I'm misunderstood
Everything's gon' be good
Even if we're misunderstood
A lot on my mind
With pain I'm coping
Between friends backstabbing
And my heart getting broken
Got to keep your head up
When it's a struggle
No matter what keep hoping
Make it happen you were chosen
I rise above the judging eye
Take a stand
Don't let your dreams pass you by
Goodbye!
I wasn't made off of your perception
Sometimes I swear it feels like
It's me against the world
Got to get up and still fight
Nothing's gonna stand in my way
It's hard just going through life
As a young girl
But you know I was built to fight
Nothing's gonna stand in our way
Everything's gon' be good
Everything's gon' be good
Even if I'm misunderstood
Got to find solutions
When you're in trouble
I don't play the victim
Talked about my problems
But they wouldn't listen
That's why sometimes
I'm in my bubble
To get it by myself
I'ma get my own
I don't need your help
I rise above the judging eye
Take a stand
Don't let your dreams pass you by
Goodbye!
I wasn't made off of your perception
Sometimes I swear it feels like
It's me against the world
Got to get up and still fight
Nothing's gonna stand in my way
It's hard just going through life
As a young girl
But you know I was built to fight
Nothing's gonna stand in our way
Everything's gon' be good
Everything's gon' be good
Even if I'm misunderstood

Everything's gon' be good
Everything's gon' be good

Everything's gon' be good

The song Miss Understood by Sammie is an anthem for anyone who feels like they are not understood and is struggling to navigate life's challenges. The lyrics speak to the pain of being misunderstood by friends, the anger of having your heart broken, and the frustration of being talked about but not being heard.

It encourages listeners to rise above the judgmental eyes of others, take a stand for themselves, and never let their dreams pass them by.
The phrase 'Miss Understood' is used throughout the song, and it could be interpreted as feeling like one's struggles or experiences are not being understood by others, leading to a sense of isolation. At the same, the phrase "everything's gonna be good" is repeatedly stressed, suggesting that even though people feel misunderstood, they need to keep hope alive and strong because ultimately all will be well.
Overall, Sammie touches on the challenges of being young, female, and misunderstood, urging listeners to stand up for themselves, to rise above negativity, and to never give up on their dreams.

I know its been 7 years but I wanted to come on here and say how grateful I am for each and everyone of you who Miss Understood touched! This song is EXTREMELY close to my heart & always has been. When writing it I wanted YOU to know that no matter what you're going through, if you don't fit in or anything... YOU ARE NOT ALONE because WE are a family! To be able share this moment with all of you was something really special to me! I found my FAMILY in all of YOU!
So thank you from the bottom of my heart!
For those of you who don't know I am Sammie. We've branded under a different name [Tatum Quinn] as my music direction slightly changed as I got older (meaning a completely new YT channel & new socials as well) but I'm still the same person as always & am super grateful for all of you & this amazing experience I had with Just Dance! :)
Much Love!
& Stay WEIRD… normal is boring ;)
Always remember that <3
