Brightside Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I wear a smile, you rock the frown
Always do my best to get you upside down
When you throw in shade, I rearrange the clouds
Got my head up but we're going south

[Pre-Chorus]
Let me be the rose to tint your glass
Spray paint the lawn to get a greener grass
I'll be your brightsider 'cause all I wanna do is make you feel a little better
I'll be your cheerleader, win or lose, baby I'll be on the bleachers

[Chorus]
Get up, get up tonight
I will be the one to show you your brightside
Get up, get up tonight
I will be the one to show you your brightside

[Post-Chorus]
To show you your brightside

[Verse 2]
If your nightmares come, I'll wake you up
I'll give you Lucky Charms and a sunny-side-up
When your streak runs out, I'll win you more
I'll be your four-leaf clover and a unicorn
[Pre-Chorus]
Let me be the rose to tint your glass
Spray paint the lawn to get a greener grass
I'll be your brightsider 'cause all I wanna do is make you feel a little better
I'll be your cheerleader, win or lose, baby I'll be on the bleachers

[Chorus]
Get up, get up tonight
I will be the one to show you your brightside
Get up, get up tonight
I will be the one to show you your brightside
To show you your brightside

[Bridge]
Now we're down here
It can only get better
See it all clear
Well at least we're together
Laying under the stars
Thinking 'bout who we are
Dreamin 'bout all that we are gonna be
Laying under the stars
I know that it's dark
But let me show you the brightside

[Chorus]
Get up, get up tonight
I will be the one to show you your brightside
Get up, get up tonight
I will be the one to show you your brightside
[Post-Chorus]
To show you your brightside

Genius Annotation

“Brightside” is the uplifting lead single from Swedish duo Icona Pop’s anticipated third album. The LP follows 2013’s This Is… Icona Pop, which included the global smash “I Love It,” featuring Charli XCX. Icona Pop members Caroline Hjelt and Aino Jawo spoke with I-D about the meaning behind this song:

We wanted to write a song to celebrate our friendship. We’ve been a band for eight years now, and we’ve been through so much together, both good and bad.

Icona Pop wrote “Brightside” with Joni Fatora, Mr Rogers, and Frederic Kennett—the latter two served as producers.
