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 [?]

Genius Annotation

“Something Different” is the hit single by American boyband Why Don’t We from their EP of the same name. The song is about a relationship, where they don’t care if they’re different from your stereotypical relationship, they spent time building it and they don’t care if they’re on a different track than everybody else because it doesn’t matter. Their relationship is something different.

The music video was directer by former vine star, YouTube vlogger Logan Paul and revolves around Daniel Seavey’s line in the first verse: “We can paint a perfect picture.” The music video follows the band inside and outside of paintings in an art gallery in a confusing maze of in, out and all over the place. As of August 25th 2017, the music video has 22M views on YouTube.
