Brave

About Brave

"Brave" is a song recorded by American recording artist Kelis for her fifth studio album, Flesh Tone (2010). She co-wrote the song with Jean Baptiste, James Fauntleroy, while production was handled by Benny Benassi, and his cousin Alle Benassi (known together as the Benassi Bros.). It premiered on January 6, 2011 by Will.i.am Music Group and Interscope Records as the fourth and final single from the album. Musically, "Brave" is a mid-tempo disco song, influenced by heavy elements of electronic dance music. The song opens with a slow-pace, until it progresses with electronic dance music. Throughout the song, Kelis' vocals are heavily processed with autotune and vocoder post-production tools. Lyrically, the song is a self-empowerment anthem that discusses several phases of her personal life, including marriage/divorce, self-discovery, and the birth of her son. The song received universal acclaim from critics, who praised its composition and production. Several critics highlighted the song as one of her most personal efforts, and selected it as an album standout. Despite this, "Brave" charted poorly in selected record charts. It reached number 29 on Belgium's Ultratip chart, and number 123 on the UK Singles Chart. It became Kelis' second single to chart outside the top 100 in the latter country, and is one of her worst performing singles there. more »

I'm not ashamed of winning
But it wasn't that way in the beginning
It was this way
It was kiss me
Come kick me and diss me
I had to give it up
Now it's a way different feeling
You took my soul I had to steer it back
Now it's this way
Now it's with me
No mistake just listen
I had to give up

All of this pain you had given
It's just a reminder of livin'
It was crazy, had a baby
He's amazin', he saved me
And this time it's just us
You raised up, I can say that
I was too young, I'll never get that back

Now it's this way
Now it's flipped babe
I'm happy, just listen
I had to give it up

I was super cool
But now I'm super strong
I had nothing to loose
But I was super wrong
It was the circumstance
I got the power from
I was super tough
But now I'm super strong
Super strong

I'm a braveheart
I'm a braveheart
I'm a braveheart
So come and play my purple heart
Come and play my purple heart
Come and play my purple heart
I didn't run

I was super cool
But now I'm super strong
I had nothing to loose
But I was super wrong
It was the circumstance
I got the power from
I was super tough
But now I'm super strong
Super strong

I was super cool
But now I'm super strong
I had nothing to loose
But I was super wrong
It was the circumstance
I got the power from
I was super tough
But now I'm super strong
Super strong
