G R O W Lyrics
I've been putting work in healing myself
Still got room to grow
I've been really searching emotional wealth
Honestly, my heart is broke
I just need to grow, grow, grow
Grow, grow, grow
Grow, grow, grow
I just need to, I just need to grow
[Verse 1: WILLOW]
Every time I look at my face
I feel everything, it's the same growing pains
'Cause no one ever truly knows just who they are
And I feel closer knowing I don't have to hide my scars
[Pre-Chorus: WILLOW]
I hope you know you're not alone
Being confused ain't right or wrong
You'll find that you're your own best friend
And, no, that ain't a fuckin' metaphor
[Chorus: WILLOW]
I've been putting work in healing myself
Still got room to grow
I've been really searching еmotional wealth
Honestly, my heart is brokе
I just need to grow, grow, grow
Grow, grow, grow
Grow, grow, grow
I just need to, I just need to grow
Every time I look at my face
I can't help but feel like I've lost my way
'Cause no one ever truly knows just who they are
And I feel closer when I'm laying, looking at the stars
[Pre-Chorus: Avril Lavigne]
I hope you know you're not alone
Being confused ain't right or wrong
You'll find that you're your own best friend
And, no, that ain't a fuckin' metaphor
[Chorus: Avril Lavigne & WILLOW]
I've been putting work in healing myself
Still got room to grow
I've been really searching emotional wealth
Honestly, my heart is broke
I just need to grow, grow, grow
Grow, grow, grow (I just need to grow)
Grow, grow, grow
I just need to, I just need to grow
About
“G R O W” is the tenth track on WILLOW’s fourth studio album lately I feel EVERYTHING. Released on July 16, 2021, this song is about taking the time for yourself to grow as a person, even if you have doubts. The music video was released on October 19, 2021.
The song features vocals from Avril Lavigne, who WILLOW has cited as a major influence growing up, more specifically the Canadian’s third studio album, The Best Damn Thing. It also showcases another collaboration for WILLOW and Travis Barker, drummer for blink-182.
On working with Avril, WILLOW told Alt Press:
My goodness. She’s just amazing. She knows this genre like the back of her hand. It was just effortless watching her come up with her verse. Just the tone of her voice and how she knows exactly the right tone that’s going to work with the song. When I heard her verse, I was like, “Oh no, should I even get on this?” Because I’m not going to sound nearly as hardcore or amazing as she sounds. But then I was like, “You know what? Don’t go back into that mindset. Be confident, hold your head up high and sing this damn song with this amazing woman.” I’m so excited for it.

I’m just so excited because me and Avril have never performed live together before, so this is going to be a whole completely different experience. It’s a huge opportunity for me to be really able to do this to the fullest and to really connect with people who can inspire me and teach me. She’s just one of those people and I’m just so grateful that we got to meet.
To have Avril and Travis playing together on one song, I just think it’s going to be absolutely spectacular. It’s just going to be pop-punk astronomical royalty and I’m so honoured to be able to watch that happen and be there with them, and be able to perform with them.
