Keep Talking Lyrics

[Verse 1: Rita Ora & Julia Michaels]
You can say what you want
You can like me or not
Give it all that you got
Keep talking
Know what you whisper about
From the side of your mouth
Let it keep coming out
Keep talking


[Pre-Chorus: Rita Ora & Julia Michaels]
But I'll take the higher-igher-igher, high road
I'll take the high road all the way home
I'll take the higher, higher-igher, high road
All the way home, all the way home


[Chorus: Rita Ora & Julia Michaels]
'Cause there's nothing you can say to me
That I haven't said to myself
There's nothing you can make me feel
That I haven't already felt
No, there's nothing you can say to me
That I haven't said to myself
I'll take the higher-igher-igher, high road
Keep talking
[Post-Chorus: Rita Ora & Both]
Higher-igher-igher-igher
Keep talking
Higher-igher-igher-igher

[Verse 2: Rita Ora]
You can roll it on out
I could roll it right back
And embellish the facts
I promise

[Pre-Chorus: Rita Ora & Julia Michaels]
But I'll take the higher-igher-igher, high road
I'll take the high road all the way home
I'll take the higher-igher-igher, high road
All the way home, all the way home


[Chorus: Rita Ora]
'Cause there's nothing you can say to me
That I haven't said to myself
There's nothing you can make me feel
That I haven't already felt
No, there's nothing you can say to me
That I haven't said to myself
I'll take the higher-igher-igher, high road
Keep talking
[Post-Chorus: Julia Michaels & Both]
Higher-igher-igher-igher
Keep talking
Higher-igher-igher-igher
Keep talking
Higher-igher-igher-igher
Keep talking
Higher-igher-igher-igher

[Bridge: Rita Ora]
Ooh, ooh, always your second hand news
Yeah, you got more lies than truth
Don't know what you're trying, what you're trying to do, ooh

[Chorus: Rita Ora, Julia Michaels & Both]
'Cause there's nothing you can say to me
That I haven't said to myself (Said to myself)
There's nothing you can make me feel (Make me feel)
That I haven't already felt
No, there's nothing you can say to me (Say to me)
That I haven't said to myself
I'll take the higher-igher-igher, high road
Keep, keep, keep talking

[Post-Chorus: Rita Ora, Julia Michaels & Both]
Higher-igher-igher-igher
Keep talking
Higher-igher-igher-igher
Keep talking
Higher-igher-igher-igher
Keep talking
Higher-igher-igher-igher

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

About

Genius Annotation

“Keep Talking” is one of the collaborations off of Ora’s sophomore album, Phoenix, featuring Julia Michaels.

As shared by the singer in an interview with Chart Show Chart, Ora wanted her on the album for her amazing voice:

There’s a song in there called “Keep Talking” which she’s co-written with Justin Tranter.

In an interview with Beats 1’s The A List Pop, Ora also added:

Julia Michaels and I were in the studio, both pissed off about something, and I was like, “Don’t you just hate it when people just keep talking about you, and they don’t know you, and you just want to scream from the rooftops and be like, "You’re all wrong!”“ And she said, "They can just keep talking.” And the song started. I wanted it to feel like two girls talking about something they had in common. Chris Martin, who is an absolute legend, helped take this song to another level. He put that Chris Martin dust on it.”
