Lift Me Up

About Lift Me Up

"Lift Me Up" is a song by American singer-songwriter Christina Aguilera, taken from her sixth studio album Bionic (2010). The song was written and produced by Linda Perry, who also provided all the song's instrumentation. Perry and Aguilera previously collaborated on Aguilera's records Stripped (2002) and Back to Basics (2006), and on her compilation Keeps Gettin' Better: A Decade of Hits (2008), and the singer enlisted Perry again to work on Bionic as the main producer. However, Perry only wrote and produced "Lift Me Up". Described as an empowering piano ballad, "Lift Me Up" talks about being thankful to someone for helping the protagonist through hard times. The song was first premiered during the Hope for Haiti Now telethon that was held on January 22, 2010 and later, it was included on the charity album, Hope for Haiti Now. The live version differs from the album version, since it features a more stripped, acoustic sound and the album version has an electronic addition. "Lift Me Up" received polarized reviews from music critics. While some critics praised the song, calling it serviceable and obligatory, many called it a boring and cliché ballad. The live version of the song charted on the low-regions of the UK Singles Chart and on the US Bubbling Under Hot 100 Singles, while the album version charted higher on the South Korea Gaon International Singles Chart. more »

So the pain begins
As the music fades
And I'm left here with
With more than I can take

If you lift me up
Just get me through this night
I know I'll rest tomorrow
And I'll be strong enough to try

When the static clears
And all is said and done
I will realize
That we all need someone

If you lift me up
Just get me through this night
I know I'll rest tomorrow
And I'll be strong enough to try

So when you see me crashing
And there's nowhere left to fall
Will you lift me even higher
To rise above this all

If you lift me up
Said if you lift me up

Whoo-yeah, ah-yeah 
Whoo-yeah, ah-yeah 

Said if you lift me up
Will you lift me higher

When you see me crashing
And there's nowhere left to fall
Will you lift me even higher
To rise above this all

If you lift me up
Said if you lift me up
If you lift me up
Just get me through this night
