about
For The Love of It is a letter to myself.
It’s me trying to reconnect with little Aaliyah, who had pure unadulterated joy and confidence in her creativity. She didn’t care what people thought; she did things because she loved them. This track is me wanting to rediscover and affirm the joy in being an artist.
lyrics
(Verse 1)
Perfectionism is a thief
Life a form of robbery
Steals my creativity
Tears me down
Not singing for the world’s applause
Embrace all of my perfect flaws
Bring an end to this internal war
(Chorus)
For the love of it I will sing
I will sing
(I will sing, I will sing)
Whimsical melodies I will bring, I will bring
(I will bring, I will bring)
(Verse 2)
Open fields before my eyes
Golden hues across my skies
I will make self-love my guide
There’s magic bottled up in me
I just need to set it free
Promised land of milk & honey
Is waiting for me
(Chorus)
For the love of it I will sing
I will sing
(I will sing, I will sing)
Whimsical melodies I will bring, I will bring
(I will bring, I will bring)
(Bridge)
Oooh, oooh, oooh
(Chorus)
For the love of it I will sing
I will sing
(I will sing, I will sing)
Whimsical melodies I will bring, I will bring
(I will bring, I will bring)
