About Made It Back

"Made It Back" is a song by Beverley Knight, released as the first single from her second studio album, Prodigal Sista. It was also the first single Knight released on EMI controlled Parlophone Records after she signed a four album deal with the label in 1997 after disagreements with her previous label, Dome Records. The release instantly proved that Knight had made the right decision after it entered the UK Singles Chart at #21 – her highest charting single up to that point. Featuring US rap star Redman, the song was nominated for Best Single at the 1998 MOBO Awards in London, which Knight lost out on to Another Level's "Freak Me". However, Knight went on to win Best R&B Act.

From a place that had no meaning
From the wilderness of time
To the land of new beginning
Starting with a new design
Never doubted for a second
That I'd do it on my own
And I held onto my corner
Trusted in the things I know 

You will never feel
How good it is to love me
Rather than control me
I don't need the world weighing down my shoulders
But that's all over here I am

[Chorus]
I made it back
From a place called nowhere
I made it back
To do this once again
I made it back
From a place called nowhere
I made it back
Once again I made it back
 
Got a chance to fix up neatly
Set it off and not too late
Saw the light and walked towards it
I'm the master of my late
Coming up just wasn't easy
It took all the strength I had
Now I'm ready for the action
Mamma got a brand nu bag

You will never feel
How good it is to love me
Rather than control me
I don't need the world weighing down my shoulders
But that's all over here I am

[Chorus: x 2]

Flava, flava, flava
Brand new flava, flava flava
