WILLOW

Lyrics

[Chorus: 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
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
[Verse 2: Avril Lavigne]
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

G R O W is a collaboration between WILLOW, Avril Lavigne, and Travis Barker. WILLOW, who has cited Avril Lavigne’s third studio album, “The Best Damn Thing,” as a major influence growing up, gained the opportunity to work on this track with her. The two share a connection and strong passion for rock music, leading to a successfully blended sound in this track.

Avril Lavigne’s vocals on the track are a perfect match for the song’s genre and inspirational message. Her powerful tone and command of the verse are exceptional. When WILLOW heard Avril’s verse for the track, she knew she was working with a master in the genre, and it made her initially doubt her abilities. But she regained her confidence and went on to deliver a powerful and relatable track with Avril.

The song’s instrumentals are equally impressive. The drums and guitars are intense and add to the song’s message about growth and self-discovery. Travis Barker, an unrivaled drummer and member of Blink-182, adds to the song’s energy and complements the vocals of WILLOW and Avril Lavigne.

G R O W is a track that encourages listeners, especially those caught up in self-doubt, to take a step back and acknowledge their strengths and growth potential. In the second verse, Avril sings, “You’re feeling insecure, all of the time / But when they criticize, it just means they’re terrified.” These lyrics remind listeners to embrace their weakness and see it as an opportunity for growth and self-discovery. The song’s bridge, with lyrics like, “Plant the seed, you gotta water it / Just believe, and you’ll see what you’ll become,” reinforces this message of self-belief and growth.

The music video is an incredible visual representation of the song’s message. It features the three artists in a colorful and vibrant setting, symbolizing the growth that comes with being true to oneself. The video showcases their individual styles, proving that growth can come in different shapes, forms, and styles.

In a nutshell, G R O W is an inspirational track that celebrates self-growth and self-acceptance. It’s a powerful reminder to listeners to embrace their weaknesses, nourish their strength, and believe in their potential.
