About Outta My Head

"Outta My Head" is a song recorded by British singer-songwriter Leona Lewis for her second studio album Echo (2009). The track was written by Savan Kotecha, Max Martin and Johan "Shellback" Schuster, and produced by the latter two. It is an electropop song with Eurodance influences, and its compositional structure is noticeably different from the other songs on Echo. The instrumentation consists of keyboard riffs and beats, instead of pianos and guitars which are used on the other songs. The chorus of "Outta My Head" was compared to the works of Australian singer Kylie Minogue and German group Cascada due to its Eurodance style. It debuted and peaked at number 98 on the Slovakian Singles Chart upon the release of Echo. Lewis has performed the song on Jimmy Kimmel Live! and it was included on the set list of her debut concert tour, The Labyrinth (2010).

I keep taking
Taking you back
But I don't know why I do
You keep breaking
Breaking me down
So I'll find somebody new
Alright

I don't want to feel I'm there For you, for life
And now your begging me to see you tonight

Its funny how easy you can mess me up
Now look how easy I get you

Outta me head, outta my head
Say goodbye
Somebody's gonna get you
Outta my head, outta my head
And tonight
I'm doing what I want to
You made the biggest mistake
And now I'm going to get you way
Outta my head, outta my head
Say goodbye
Somebody's gonna get you

I kept taking
Taking the blame
And its soring me up inside
So defeated, losing my self
But you'll never make me cry again
Remember you and I didn't want things to end
And now your tasting all the pain I was in.

Its funny how easy you can mess me up
Now look how easy I get you

Outta me head, outta my head
Say goodbye
Somebody's gonna get you
Outta my head, outta my head
And tonight
I'm doing what I want to
You made the biggest mistake
And now I'm going to get you way
Outta my head, outta my head
Say goodbye
Somebody's gonna get you

Oh
Outta my face and thoughts forever
And maybe I can sleep and breath much better
And finally I am seeing everything clearer
So watch me now
Oh
Just watch me now

Outta me head, outta my head
Say goodbye(goodbye)
Somebody's gonna get you
Outta my head, outta my head
And tonight
I'm doing what I want to
You made the biggest mistake
And now I'm going to get you way
Outta my head, outta my head
Say goodbye
Somebody's gonna get you
