Look At Me Now Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I made peace with the mirror
It took all of hell just to love myself
Now I'm seeing things clearer
I don't need anyone else

[Pre-Chorus]
Take it with a pinch of salt
People always come and go
I won't keep my enemies close
The more you see, the more you learn
Better off for being burnt
Breathe it in, then let it go

[Chorus]
Throw your stones until I'm broken
They won't bring me down
Even in my darkest moments
I am happy now
Shoot me with your best shot
Hold me in a headlock
Give me all you got, baby
Aim for the heart
Throw your stones until I'm broken
They won't bring me down
Look at me now
Look at me now
Look at me now
Look at me now
[Verse 2]
Mended things with my mother
And now I look like her and I found the words
So, I tell her I love her
And she knows me like no other, oh

[Pre-Chorus]
Take it with a pinch of salt
People always come and go
I won't keep my enemies close (Oh no)
The more you see, the more you learn
Better off for being burnt
Breathe it in, then let it go

[Chorus]
Throw your stones until I'm broken
They won't bring me down
Even in my darkest moments
I am happy now
Shoot me with your best shot
Hold me in a headlock
Give me all you got, baby
Aim for the heart
Throw your stones until I'm broken
They won't bring me down (Bring me down)
Look at me now (Look at me now)
Look at me now (Look at me now)
Oh, look at me now (Look at me now)
(Take one look at me) Look at me now

What did Rita Ora say about "Look At Me Now"?
Genius Answer

When Oak came onboard to help executive produce the record, I told him the story is important, so wherever the music comes from it needs to fit the narrative. I didn’t write this track with him, but he was all about making sure the story made sense, and this song is really about reminding people of the strength and resilience it took for me to get here. Even after all the obstacles, l’ve found a way to still be here.
