About Knockdown

"Knockdown" is a song by English recording artist Alesha Dixon. It was taken from her debut album Fired Up. The single was commercially released on 30 October 2006, having been made available for legal download the previous week. The song was written by Alesha and the Kent-based production team, Xenomania. Knockdown is Dixon's lowest charting single to date, peaking at number forty-five in the UK Singles Charts, and spending just four weeks in the charts. As a result of the single's failure, Alesha was dropped from Polydor Records. However, Alesha was signed to Asylum Records, where she has achieved further success under a new label.

When I lay it all out on the table
Don't know what is stopping me
From feeling like I might be able
To enjoy my own company
Sitting up by my window
Watching the summer rain
The world is moving faster
Than I am in it today

Knockdown
Everybody in the place say what now
Ya souls feeling shot down
Lucks out
But ya gotta carry on
Speed it up now
Woo Woo Woo Woo
Knockdown
Everybody in the place say what now
Ya souls feeling shot down
Lucks out
But ya gotta carry on
Speed it up now

Oh yeah I got the feeling
That something could happen now
Oh I got the feeling
That something could happen inside my life now
And have you ever asked why you've been here before
Cos only you have the power to carry on through that door

Knockdown
Everybody in the place say what now
Ya souls feeling shot down
Lucks out
But ya gotta carry on
Speed it up now
Woo Woo Woo Woo
Knockdown
Everybody in the place say what now
Ya souls feeling shot down
Lucks out
But ya gotta carry on
Speed it up now
