For artist, Shawn Matthews, music has become a home for him to speak freely about the thoughts in his mind. On his new pop-punk single, “MIC CHECK!”, Shawn Matthews questions if it’s time he leaves his comfort zone, and finally confronts the thoughts he’s been hiding.

“Scared to raise my voice so I write these songs

Trying to Carry this weight, but I’m not that strong”

In a time where music is dropped so frequently, and we’re exposed to apps with timelines full of artists trying to be heard, all working tirelessly to create that “one hit song” that changes their lives, it’s refreshing to hear someone include real substance in their music. Although “MIC CHECK!” possesses that mainstream sound, Shawn Matthews didn’t skip any steps with his songwriting, and that’s the reason I think “MIC CHECK!” is going to be a song a lot of people sing along soon.

MIC CHECK!
Shawn Mathews Lyrics

Mic check, is this thing on
I feel like I've been quiet way too long
Scared to raise my voice so I write these songs
Tryna to carry this weight but I'm not that strong
One day it gets better, one day I'm just lost
One day I got energy, one day it's just off
One day it gets better, one day I'm just lost
One day I got energy, one day it's just off

Hop up on the stage, I got hits for days

I could do this in my sleep, it's in my dna
This is all I dreamt about everyday
At least that's what I tell myself anyway

At the end of the day, I'm all alone and I only got myself
At the end of the day, I'm insecureeee
So I say

Mic check, is this thing on
I feel like I've been quiet way too long
Scared to raise my voice so I write these songs
Tryna to carry this weight but I'm not that strong
One day it gets better, one day I'm just lost
One day I got energy, one day it's just off
One day it gets better, one day I'm just lost
One day I got energy, one day it's just off

Everyday I'm in your arms
The place that I feel I belong
Making me want to hold on
Cause we got a bond so strong

At the end of the day, my motivation's wearing down
And my ego's on the ground yeah
At the end of the day I just wanna feel okay, wake up everyday and say
