Stefy Rae receives outstanding feedback from music critics; her "feisty" or "foxy" style is often compared to Gwen Stefani and P!nk.
Although they have established a cult following, the group has not found much wide-stream popularity across the United States, however they have had some success in the UK and charted at number 15 on the Billboard Hot Dance Club Play.
In 2008, the group was dropped from their label Wind-Up Records. After a 7 month hiatus, their website, which was taken down in September, was re-opened, excluding most of the info and features that relate to Wind-Up.
In May 2009, after over two years of no updates, Stefy released four new demos on their MySpace page. In September, it was revealed by Stefy herself that a second album was not going to happen unless she was signed with another label. Stefy recently released a new song independently that appears in the soundtrack for the film Sorority Row.
You And Me Against The World
Stefy Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
They do their best to make us doubt ourselves, separate ourselves
And I know that it hurts
They might trouble when I'm close to you I won't lose myself
They don't have enough
To make us tell our trust
Yeah it's you and me against the world
And it's true I believe
You and me were meant to be against the world
Against the world
It's a time and a place
Fear's brought us both together here
To stay forever near
They don't have enough
To make us tell our trust
Yeah yeah yeah
Yeah it's you and me against the world
'Cause you know that I'll always be your girl
And it's true I believe
You and me were meant to be against the world
Against the world
It's you and me against the world
We don't need their money
We don't need their words
We don't need what they have anymore
And it's you and me against the world
'Cause you know that I'll always be your girl
And it's true I believe
You and me were meant to be
Yeah it's you and me against the world
'Cause you know that I'll always be your girl
And it's true I believe
You and me were meant to be
Against the world, against the world
Against the world, against the world
Against the world, against the world
Against the world, against the world
Against the world
The lyrics to Stefy's "You and Me Against the World" speak to the idea of facing the obstacles of the world together, as a team. The first verse acknowledges the forces that try to separate and break individuals, but the singer declares that their connection is too strong to be destroyed. She promises to not lose herself when the troubles come, indicating that her partner is a grounding force that keeps her centered. The chorus is a declaration of that partnership, stating that they don't need the world's validation or resources as long as they have each other. The final verse repeats this sentiment, emphasizing that it is just the two of them against the world, and they are enough for each other.
The song celebrates the idea of finding solace and safety in another individual in a world that can be scary and uncertain. It's a romantic and optimistic view of love, and it offers hope for those who may be struggling to stay afloat on their own. The track itself is an upbeat, poppy number that has a retro feel to it, with electronic flourishes and a catchy chorus that sticks in the head.
