Daisies (Oliver Heldens Remix) Lyrics
Told them your dreams, and they all started laughing
I guess you're out of your mind 'til it actually happens
[Pre-Chorus]
I'm the small town
One in seven billion
Why can't it be me?
[Chorus]
They told me I was out there, tried to knock me down
Took those sticks and stones, showed 'em I could build a house
They tell me that I'm crazy, but I'll never let 'em change me
'Til they cover me in daisies, daisies, daisies
They said I'm going nowhere, tried to count me out
Took those sticks and stones, showed 'em I could build a house
They tell me that I'm crazy, but I'll never let 'em change me
'Til they cover me in daisies, daisies, daisies
'Til they cover me in daisies, daisies, daisies
[Bridge]
Hey, hey
Oh, cover me in daisies
Hey, hey
[Verse 2]
When did we all stop believing in magic?
Why did we put all our hopes in a box in the attic?
I'm the long shot
I'm the Hail Mary
Why can't it be me?
[Chorus]
They told me I was out there, tried to knock me down
Took those sticks and stones, showed 'em I could build a house
They tell me that I'm crazy, but I'll never let 'em change me
'Til they cover me in daisies, daisies, daisies
They said I'm going nowhere, tried to count me out (Count me out)
Took those sticks and stones, showed 'em I could build a house
They tell me that I'm crazy, but I'll never let 'em change me
'Til they cover me in daisies, daisies, daisies
'Til they cover me in daisies, daisies, daisies
[Outro]
Hey, hey
Oh, cover me in daisies
Hey, hey
About
Marking the start of a new era, “Daisies” is a self-empowerment anthem by American singer-songwriter Katy Perry. Shortly after the track’s release, Katy took to her social media platforms to share the inspiration behind the song:
I wrote this song a couple [of] months ago as a call to remain true to the course you’ve set for yourself, regardless of what others may think.
She then elaborated on how the song has “taken a new meaning [for her]” after parts of the world went into a lockdown due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Unlike her past lead singles which tend to be more upbeat and bubbly, “Daisies” features a mid-tempo production in its verses and a guitar in its chorus. This is also Katy’s first time working with The Monsters & Strangerz — an American production and songwriting team who has previously worked on hits like January 2018’s “The Middle.”
