I loved this track from the first time I heard it. The three rising artists were sponsored by Converse to collaborate and produce a fresh track for their "Three Artists, One Song" campaign. I must say they chose their artists well.
Kimbra lends her beautiful, floaty vocals to the verses and meets with Mark Foster's high, fresh vocals in the chorus. I can definitely feel the sound of Foster the People coming through in the bouncy synths and crisp beats, especially in the bridge. I don't really know anything about A-Trak other than the fact he's remixed for several popular artists.
It's another one of those tracks that fills me with this funky energy and makes me want to take on the day full-stride. Hope it does the same for you!

LYRICS:
My hands are tied but my eyes are open
This modern denial has me broken
Nothing mystical, no hullabaloo
Just chemicals and no one looking down on you
What am I thinking
If you're so sure it's rational?
While the world's shrinking
But that don't make it logical
What am I thinking
If you say I'm just an animal
I feel like I'm sinking
You can't explain away the way I feel
You're just pushing me down, pushing me down, pushing me down
They tell you 'trust your head, be like men
But never feel like you're good enough
You're just crushing me down, crushing me down, crushing me down
They wanna take our light, make us fight,
But never cry for the ones you love
I'll be your warrior, warrior
You're taking over and I'm feeling small
When I was a child I knew it all
Nothing magical, no hologram behind the door
Just a chain reaction but I know I'm made for more
What am I thinking (What am I thinking)
If you're so sure it's rational?
While the world's shrinking
But that don't make it logical
What am I thinking
If you say I'm just an animal
I feel like I'm sinking
You can't explain away the way I feel
You're just pushing me down, pushing me down, pushing me down
They tell you 'trust your head, be like men
But never feel like you're good enough
You're just crushing me down, crushing me down, crushing me down
They wanna take our light, make us fight,
But never cry for the ones you love
And you're just pushing me down, pushing me down, pushing me down
You wanna change the world,
But your girls will be seen and not be heard
You just crushing me down, crushing me down, crushing me down
They wanna take our light, make us fight,
But never cry for the ones you love)
Ooo-oo-oo-oo-ooo
Ooo-oo-oo-oo-ooo
Ooo-oo-oo-oo-ooo
Cry for the ones you love
And you're just pushing me down, pushing me down, pushing me down
They tell you, 'trust your head, trust your head'
You're just pushing me down, pushing me down, pushing me down
They wanna take our light, take our light,
But never cry for the ones you love
And you're just pushing me down, pushing me down, pushing me down
You wanna change the world,
But your girls will be seen and not be heard
You just crushing me down, crushing me down, crushing me down
